Our first visit to Ames to tour the university. We were a family of four. The only good news was that our rooms were next to each other. Everything else about our stay was no better than 1 star. The coffee in the breakfast was the color of ginger ale. Everything else is 1980s and in dire need of complete... More

This is our second time here and both visits have been very nice. Friendly staff, very clean and comfortable rooms, nice continental breakfast, too. Convenient to the interstate and an easy drive over to the Iowa State campus. The young lady manning the breakfast area was working her tail off to keep up with all the Sunday morning guests. She...

My wife and I have stayed in twice at this hotel. The most recent was in the fireplace suite, probably around November 2011. First, the good: the rooms and common areas are clean and well-kept. The continental breakfast had a pretty good selection, although the last time we went, the waffles were absolutely nasty! They were extremely sour, as if... More

Will be back. The staff and facilities made for a great stay. The breakfast area with feeling of sidewalk cafe in Paris. Great way to start day.

I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past and have seen the renovations evolve. I requested a non-poolside room. It is not noise of people in the pool as it closes around 10 but all the people that sit in the courtyard and visit. Not a loud party but a good meeting place. We had a 3rd... More

Stayed here for family weekend Sept 30 and Oct 1, 2011. Check in went well, front desk was efficient. We had two rooms and they put us across the hall from each other which was nice. One room faced the central pool area and we had to run the fan all night to drown out the noise from the people... More

There weren't any room options for our family of 5- only 2 Q beds. My son ended up sleeping on a lounge chair. Small bathroom and closet. Nice pool area- but that was the only above average thing about this place.

The motel room was large and comfortable. It had a large work table. There was a bench for 1 suitcase, but nothing to put our 2nd suitcase on. The bathroom was small, but had enough room to move around in without feeling claustrophobic. The toilet wobbled which annoyed both me and my husband. There were smaller than normal pillows. We...

The Quality Inn in Ames is among the worst choices for places to stay in the city. I've stayed in Ames a number of times, and there are better options. I even stayed in this property back when it was a Best Western with $50 rooms, and there really isn't anything that has been improved enough at this hotel to... More
