Thank you!!! ##### Urime Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Urime 27 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Front desk guy is so pleasant and accommodating. He knows I work nights so tried to place me in rooms that don’t have occupants nearby. That alone is extremely appreciated. The rooms here have always been spotless. I’ve stayed here several occasions for work and have never been disappointed. Excellent upkeep. ##### Urime Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Urime 18 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I travel for work and have stayed at a few places in Ames before staying here. Let’s just say this is the only place that has felt clean, not just looked clean. I normally don’t stay at hotels that have carpet but this place had carpeting that looked like it had just been shampooed. Excellent upkeep in function and appearance from maintenance/mgmt. Guy at the front desk is always welcoming and after driving for over 4hrs that’s really appreciated. ##### Urime Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 15 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good clean quick stop ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra 30 Dec 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The first room we were given had the bathroom 1/2 remodeled with candy and hair on the floor.
