Hotel's Favorite
This was a great place to stay and close to campus. Very convenient location. The room was spacious and clean. They had a nice pool area, but no hot tub. Breakfast was good as well including multiple waffle makers, biscuits and gravy, and a good fast selection in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I are in the middle of a cross-country military move, and this was one of our stays along the way. We're traveling with so much stuff that we didn't bother packing basic toiletries that we know hotels provide. When we got to our room we found no hand soap, no shower soap, no body wash, and no shampoo or conditioner. This cannot be due to Covid-related safety measures. We have stayed in several hotels during the Coronavirus pandemic and each one had the basic bathroom toiletries awaiting us upon our arrival. The curtains are only on the side bars of the window, we had no curtains to close in front of the window. So we couldn't make it dark when we wanted, and never felt like we had full privacy. The A/C is also placed in an inconvenient spot, so unless you're standing right next to it you can't really feel the air. Other than that, the bed was comfy (minus the tiny square pillows) and it's in a pretty and peaceful area, conveniently located off the highway.

Thank you for your service and for being our guest during your cross-country journey! Please accept our apologies for the missing toiletries that were overlooked by a new team member. I am delighted that once the front desk was notified, that they were able to provide these items for you quickly. We do hope that the rest of your stay and travels were great and we wish you all the best!

This is an excellent motel in every regard. To start with, its new rather than remodeled. The staff is friendly and efficient. It’s clean. Breakfast was very good. And overall a good value. Location is a mile or so off I-35 which means it’s quiet and in this case there are dozens of restaurants close by. There are lots other motels in the area but I’ll stay at this one again without question.

You are so sweet. Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. We are in fact a newly built hotel in August 2019 and we are just in love with it. Modern yet welcoming feeling and we love our location. It's close to everything to see and do in Ames and we love offering a quiet and peaceful location for that restful nights sleep. We are delighted that you enjoyed our yummy breakfast and very much look forward to your next visit to Ames! All our best and safe travels!

Nice and clean hotel. We had a room with a king bed and a sofa sleeper which is the type of room we get when available. Most of the time we have to get linens at the front desk which is not a problem. What was the problem this time is that they absolutely refused to give a mattress pad for the sofa sleeper. I was told they did not have any because of lack of storage space! In all our travels I have never ran across this problem. Instead they gave two blankets and extra sheet to replace the mattress pad. I wrote to the hotel and was informed that for a sofa sleeper all they have to provide you with is a blanket, sheet set and a pillow and that a mattress pad is NOT required by Choice Hotels. Very disappointed in this Choice Hotel location. I guess it is time to pack my own linens if we want to utilize a room with a sofa sleeper.

I hate to only give 4 stars because it is a beautiful hotel and upon 4 hour early check-in the young lady was so engaging and friendly, the breakfast person was the sweetest, taking my plate and had a huge smile the whole hour we were sitting downstairs, but the electricity went out in my room 3 times. The staff was prompt about getting it turned back on, but the last time it went out we decided to just go ahead and check out at 9 am, instead of us staying I til 11 as originally planned. Very close to food and a hidden gem of a movie theater that was inexpensive and had heated reclining seats.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to provide us with your review. We are so happy that you enjoyed our hotel, its amenities and were able to experience our friendly team all around. I apologize for the electricity going out and my front desk associate contacted me immediately when it went out so we could find a solution quickly. I wasn't aware about it going out the last time but am thankful that you are taking the time to let me know. I have contacted our electrician and have a scheduled time for them to come and go through that room. We wish you all the best and safe travels!

Booked room for a concert 7 months ahead of time checkin was supposed to be at 3pm with the concert starting at 5:30pm. Rooms were not cleaned and we didn’t get into our room until 5pm. I was told when we arrived at 4pm that they would text me when a room was clean. I was sitting in the lobby and noticed others who arrived after me were getting checked in prior to me and the last room that was clean was given to someone that had just arrived at the hotel! I stood at the checkin desk for a hour before I had a room. This is very poor planning for a concert of over 60,000 people in town with no shuttle service to and from the stadium! We also waited over an hour for a Lyft! We were late to the concert missing 90% of the first group. Paid a lot of money for 1 night stay and the concert and the experience was horrible!

We arrived after a long drive and many hours of moving heavy stuff into a college dorm during an unusually hot day to a hot room with the AC unit tuned off, likely intentionally, as when started it made a rattling noise like a lawn tractor. The receptionist claimed they were not aware of any issues and there was nothing they could do as it was their last room, but they could give us fans. Interestingly, a fan was already in the room, a sign they were likely aware of the AC issue, which could be heard rattling from the side parking lot, the front of the building, and in the lobby by the reception. The receptionist gave us the phone number of the manager who never responded to call/texts. We spent the night in the hot, loud room, too tired to look for a different hotel. A noise meter app registered 82 dBs, which is in the loud range (exposure to 85 dB can cause permanent hearing loss). In AM, the same receptionist stated they would give us a new room. That never happened... While away for the day, the hotel never called to let us know they had a new room for us, so when we returned in the evening too tired to deal with the nonsense, we went back to the same room. We never heard from the manager or received any apologies, but they were prompt to email us the bill. They should have not rented the room in that condition or at least try to make things right for the second night, but instead chose to handle the situation in an inexcusable way. For this, I do not recommend the hotel and would not return.

Thank you for your review. Thank you for understanding that unexpected maintenance issues arise and bringing that to our attention so that we can address it. I am delighted that our front desk was able to offer you a room change so that you could enjoy a comfortable rest of the stay. I know that moving rooms is not ideal but it is the fastest way to ensure you get on to the weekend of enjoyment. Thank you again and we wish you all the best in your travels.

Manger was completely rude. Walked in my room before checkout without even knocking. Then locked me out of my room because someone else in my company owed a cleaning fee. Told me she would kick me out and I wouldn't get my stuff when I got mad. Had a plane to catch and she made me late for my flight. I stay in hotels across the country and have never felt so disrespected. The staff was great but that manger is completely on a power trip

Great place to stay. The staff is courteous and professional. The property is new, rooms are comfortable and always clean.
It is located right next door to Coldwater Golf course so you can walk next door, get in a round of golf and either finish or start your day the right way.
