40s_Couple_Midwest wrote a review Jun 2022
Minneapolis, Mn
4.0 of 5 bubbles
The room was very clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The hotel was very full, so we did hear a small amount of noise, but nothing bothersome. The sink area is pretty small outside the toilet and shower room, so if anyone was at the sink, they had to move for that door into the toilet and shower room to open. There was a large window seat. The breakfast was standard fare -- waffles, juice, pastries, cold hard-boiled eggs, breads, bananas, cereal, milk. Also coffee and tea, which was English Breakfast tea, a nice touch. The staff was friendly. The only thing we didn't like was that the air conditioner cycled off and on, but it was quieter than some others.

Location and price were good. The security door, wasn't secure. Didn't need a key card to open it. The clerk seemed bothered by me checking in and especially when I said I had dogs. He grumbled and had me sign a form that I believe said $10.80 extra for dogs, although the actual charge was $43.80. Lots of new hotels going up in Ames...They should up their game a bit.

The hotel was clean, light, and had space enough for us.
The only issue was the air conditioning. It seems to have a power save. No matter how cool we set it, it would run about 2 hours and stop. So we woke up several times a night overheated and had to get up to poke the a/c to get it to run again. In several nights, we never got this sorted out. Other rooms had their windows open to sleep but we had no screen on our window so this wasn't an option.
Would have been a 5-star stay if we could have slept through the night.

The hotel’s photos are edited glamorshots and not realistic. The room is small and dark, and the bathroom is dated — To say this is a Wyndham property is misleading. This feels like a $79 a night room, not the almost $200 a night it cost. It is clean.

Pandemic is over, get some food options you cheapskate. Fresh fruit like bananas or hot food like scrambled eggs bacon or sausage. Fix your WiFi too. Pull some weeds or plant some flowers. Clean up the cigarette butts and trash in parking lot. Elevator reeks!

Hotel was average at best. Pillows were so thin it took three stacked up to equal one normal pillow. Furniture was cheap particle board. Some of the drawers were missing, some were so misaligned you couldn't use them. Room had a musty smell. The worst part was looking at their reservations the "normal" rate for the room I stayed in is around $90. But when I stayed it was about $225 because they had jacked the room rate up due to ISU's graduation. Price gouging plain and simple! Go somewhere else in town that is nicer and steer clear of this place!

They had comfy beds, very friendly workers, very accommodating. Breakfast was good in that they had something for everybody. Nice clean room. I had a small room. I've read that people complain their room was so tiny. Understand that this is micro meaning small but not all the rooms are small. But I had a small room and I loved it and I will stay in that one again I don't need anything more you don't need a luxury room unless you're staying there for a week and you might want more but actually I stayed there 4 days and for me it was perfect I was in and out. I did ask for a room if possible not where pets were at because I'm very allergic to them and they were able to be accommodating.

It is a clean, helpful place to stay. They have an excellent breakfast every day, not just on weekends. They had scrambled eggs & sausage so we didn't have to eat only carbs! Their hot tub was waiting for parts, so we missed being able to use it.

This Hotel was very, very dirty and nasty. The 1st room we had, the air did not work, so they moved us to another room, this room had dirty towels and the micro wave did not work. It was to late to go to another hotel so we slept on top of the beds.
