Top Ames Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

10/10 Excellent

"5 stars. Great stay. Convenient location to gas and food. Comfortable beds and room was clean except for the bathroom. Nice of them to allow dogs it was greatly appreciated on a long road trip. Coffee and breakfast was amazing!"

Comfort Inn and Suites Ames near ISU Campus

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was awful The biscuits were hard as a rock and they must have put water on them The eggs were cold with some kind of awful cheese on them Normally I really enjoy them. There were two old bananas. It was the worst I ever had The gravy was not even edible. The pillows were wonderful. The parking was great. The coffee was ok"

Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good stay overall, and the location made it super convenient to get everywhere we needed to go. The front desk and hotel staff were fantastic—really friendly and helpful throughout our stay! A few minor issues to note: despite being a smoke-free hotel, our room had a slight smoke smell from a previous guest, and the bathroom door had a squeak that could use some WD-40. When we checked in on our first day, we noticed someone having a BBQ in the parking lot right over the designated accessible parking spots. Also, a cat in the neighboring room meowed quite a bit throughout the night, though luckily we were tired enough to sleep through it. Overall, a solid, convenient place to stay, but a bit more enforcement on parking/smoking rules and routine room maintenance would make it even better."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and easy. The front desk worker was welcoming and friendly. The place was nice and our room seemed to be fairly newly painted. Our toilet paper dispenser was missing the metal tube to put the toilet paper roll on. We were going to let the front desk know as we left, but no one was there. Not a big deal, but it should be fixed. Breakfast was fine. Quite a few choices, but no hot eggs over the weekend we were there. Disappointing, but there were several other choices. No real complaints and we would definitely stay there again."
