Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

One day of our stay the pool did not open due to us being told maintenance staff needed to check the levels and hadn't come in yet. The one day of our stay it did open, we got to the pool at 10am, no towels and they did not stock them. In our room our shower curtain was covered in dirt as if someone muddy took a shower and it never was cleaned. No housekeeping service in our room during our multiple day stay. Staff walking around on cell phones. Our door keep stopped working on our second night. We went to the front desk and rude customer service telling us its our own fault for keeping it in pocket. We didn't ask about fault or accuse anyone, only asked if room key could be reprogrammed.

Small town charm

This particular hotel is very convenient if you have to do anything Iowa State. It is in an area that does not have a lot of traffic and the staff is very accommodating. Breakfast is included and that is one of the main reasons I like to stay there.

Great choice in Ames

This has been my go to hotel choice for Ames while my kid has been a student at ISU. Service is quick & friendly. Rooms are always clean. Beds are comfy. Workout room and pool areas are great. And the breakfast is always good. Highly recommend.

Clean quiet room. Good hot breakfast with a nice variety of foods. Two minor negatives were a slightly uncomfortable bed and onky one towel left when we went to the pool. Desk never brought more. They might have been short-staffed with regard to not having ckean ones in time. Overall, we would stay again.

3 stars all the way around. Nothing to complain about really. Perfect for a sleep breakfast and hit the road. On par with most other generic hotels by near ISU.
