We were there during Cy-Hawk weekend and paid over $400 for a night. The room we were in was extremely outdated! While the bed was comfortable, I would compare the rest to a basic low-budget motel room. The bathroom and tub were very old and the shower curtain was missing rings. The drain to the tub as on the side, which shows just how old that tub must have been. I want to thank the nice staff, but we will never stay there again.

First impression walking into our room was the musty smell. Bathroom needs a dire update, aside from the mold along the baseboards and probably the ceiling tile with water spots all over. The cherry on top was the little cricket in our room that we could hear chirping all night long and into the morning. There’s more I could say, especially about the breakfast but I’m going to leave it at that. Thank you for providing a place for us to sleep but we will never be staying here again.

You get what you pay for. The room, linens, and towels were clean. The safe in the room was broken. Walls are paper-thin, so we could hear our neighbors in the room next to us the entire time. The air conditioning unit had mold on the vents, so I wasn’t comfortable turning it on until after I scrubbed it down. If you’re not picky, it’s fine. But I wouldn’t recommend it unless better options aren’t available.

Good stay in Ames. The hotel was clean and comfortable, with friendly staff at the front desk. Breakfast was simple but convenient. The room was fine for resting, though some areas could use a little update. Overall, good value for a stay.

Room had a strange odor. Tub drained extremely slowly. AC unit made lots of noise and caused us to loose sleep. Electrical outlet on nightstand didn’t work so cell phone and watch didn’t charge. No bowls for cereal. No real creamer, just coffee mate.
