Detailed Reviews
We were in town for a wedding and wanted to find a pool, hot tub, hot breakfast and handicap room options for those in our party. You'd think in a town the size of Ames, that would be easy, but it wasn't. The handicap room was great and the walk-in shower made it so that my mom could clean up without trying to step over a tub edge and we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was nice to be able to have a warm breakfast, and although the biscuits were a little tough, everything else was great. We would definitely go back.

It is obvious as you drive into the parking lot that this 2 story hotel is an aging property, and the absence of an elevator scores the point emphatically. The staff is friendly and the indoor pool and hot tub a well maintained treat; we especially appreciate the fact that the mini frig had a freezer unit for our dry ice. Still, there are negatives. Many will be inconvenienced by the lack of USB ports, and the few electrical outlets in the room are not well positioned (nothing, for example, at bedside). The AC/heat unit was clunky in the extreme, emitting a high pitched humming noise that we could only defeat by turning the unit off and letting heat bleed out of the room during the night. Breakfast was minimal in the extreme, even by mid-range standards. In sum, although $86 is not much for a hotel room these days, it's not good value if you can't get a decent night's sleep.

My kids and I just spent two nights at this hotel, and we had a great experience. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the kindest smiling woman behind the counter. All staff members that we encountered were very friendly and genuinely seemed to care that we enjoyed our time there. At one point, my son left his iPad on a table in the lobby, and we didn't realize it for quite awhile. I sent him down to the lobby to check if someone had turned it in. They saw it sitting on its own and put it safely behind the counter until it was claimed. I very much appreciated that they looked out for it, rather than leaving it on the table for anyone to pick up. My boys enjoyed the pool area both nights that we stayed. I appreciated the clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and reasonable price. I would definitely stay there again.

While the gentleman I spoke to on the phone was kind and able to give us their last room the reasons for a 2 star is as follows. Our room we had a King sized bed and hot tub, but the room had a particular odor and very humid. There were little black Beatles too. Although the linens were clean the floor felt dirty and the bathroom almost a moldy smell. The towels were thin which was fine, but they didn't even dry by the morning and we only had one towel each. We paid $150 which did include a hot breakfast in the morning. It was tge standard hot breakfast and thst was fine. Kuddos to the lady who was doing the breakfast and helping people to checkout. She was exhausted doing it all. She was very nice. The Gentleman I met the day before and I presume his family were nice. The place needs more TLC. I won't go back there. Location is fine and food and stores really close. The bed for me was comfortable but my husband slept poorly. Also the smoke detector started beeping to separate times for no apparent reason except that the battery may need changing. Who wants to be woken in the middle of the night for that.

Thanks for choosing to stay with us. We are very sorry to learn that you were not able to fully enjoy your stay due to the issues you experienced with the room. Entire first floor AC unit got cleaned last week for cleaning so that could bring insect in room because we have forest behind property. Entire property treated after by Orkin Pest Control and cleaned well and Your feedback is taken very seriously, and rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problems and prevent any future occurrence.

We booked this hotel for one night largely based on good reviews on travel sites. Wow, were we disappointed. We were put in a smoking room even though we had a non smoking reservation, the room smelled damp, the linens were thin, the soap was institutional feeling, the breakfast was blah, coffee was terrible. The in room fridge did not keep a cold temperature so we ended up having to throw away perishable food. We saw elementary age children cleaning rooms — it’s probably a family owned business but that still felt off. Little signs everywhere like “ice maker for in room use only” etc. It just felt unfriendly,
It was convenient to the highway, and the blackout curtains kept the room pretty dark, but that’s about all I can say for this hotel. Upon closer look a lot of the good reviews are from profiles with only one review so they’re likely fakes to boost the average. Disappointing.

The manager of this hotel violated federal ADA law by demanding certification for a service dog and denying full access. (FYI, there is no such thing as certification for service dogs.) He tried to bully us into accepting this. Also, the WiFi had no signal in the room and the mattress was absolutely horrendous.

Would definitely stay here again. Was able to upgrade to a larger room facing the parking lot for a small fee (I always like to be able to see my vehicle from the window). Great price for room but $30 pet fee was higher than most places but overall cost was comparable to other hotels. Breakfast was hot and tasty but coffee needs improvement. Lumpy pillows need replacing but bed was very comfortable.

Although the breakfast was really good, I can not say anything good about the towels. My hand towels are softer and the towels are slightly bigger than a hand towel. The beds were comfy and I slept well. However, I never did get connected to the internet.

I have stayed at this property four times in the last 5 months and I am a Platinum member of the Wyndham rewards program. The staff is friendly and recognize me each time I stay. HOWEVER, I have had issues the last two times which will result in no longer staying here.
The hotel is very clean, no smell, furniture okay, and bed comfortable. The hotel is in the process of remodeling and redecorating.
My issue in trip #3 was the lack of enforcement of rules in the pool which could have resulted in serious situations. They rent out the area for parties and even though there is a rule about NO alcohol, no beverages, and no food, this is ignored. Kids run, jump in the pool, and young kids were swimming in the hot tub and splashing other patrons and frequently bumping them ~ no parental supervision.
Trip #4 was marred by loud TV in the next room for 2 nights with no correction by the management.
SO if you are a heavy sleeper or have ear plugs feel free to stay here.

Hi Linda, We are very happy with the honest review. 1. We have a sign for 'NO Food and Drinks allowed in Pool" We have blocked those guests for future reservations now. 2. We informed the Guest of having the TV on at Night but due to he was sleeping he did not answer the Room phone or his Cell Phone. I also knocked on his room door but no answer. We are really sorry but we did all our best to help you out. 'Carrying for Guests" is our motto and our entire staff is dedicated for that. Again very sorry and we will give you a free stay when you come back to Ames.

Our room was clean, spacious, and felt safe. There was a nice bar area with two chairs, a working fridge with the correct temperature (most hotels my food freezes over night), and a microwave. My only feedback on the room is it would be great to have a place to hang wet swimsuits and towels. There aren’t enough hooks in the room for bath towels and swimsuits.
The owners were very hospitable and accommodating. They were there working along side their staff with a smile on their face.
The pool and hot tub were clean. There is a bathroom in the pool area, which is great for the little ones!)
We enjoyed the breakfast and felt it a good variety. We highly recommend this hotel!
