We came at a time where there were a lot of kids staying in the room above us. They were making so much noise and hitting the floor so hard it rattled the fixtures and things fell in the kitchen. We called the front desk, they told us the noise was due to the stairs. We called a second time when the noise persisted. We were again told it was the stairs and the employee did nothing about it. We had to go to the room and knock on the door ourselves to get the noise to stop.
To be honest, I was a little taken back that this was a new property. The bathroom was very outdated. I would say bathtub was yellow. The caulking was already changing color and then on top of it all when it was storming at night, I had water pouring into my room onto the carpet, which I did bring to the staffs attention in the morning and they just said they will tell their maintenance to look into it and put the room out of service.
Very modern, well maintained, comfortable, and friendly.. The amenities were prefect. Patio area includes outdoor sitting and a grill!! We felt right at home.
Great hotel, clean and new. Great staff with the exception of the night staff that was nowhere to be found when needed

Problem solvers because lots of problems?
This was tricky to rate! I chose this hotel and paid more than others in the area hoping it would make things less stressful for a business trip I took my kids on. It did not. Pool was closed, TV wasn’t working, and the bathroom sinks are so tall my 7 yr old couldn’t reach to turn them off and on.
That said, most of the staff were willing to problem solve-moved rooms halfway through for a working TV, borrowed a step stool from the front desk (they should buy a few of the $10 kids ones form walmart!).
So the staff was willing to solve problems, it just seems they’ve been left by the franchise or property owner with a lot of problems to solve. Overall, it’s not the place to stay with kids, or at least not worth paying 30% more than other options in town if you don’t really need to be able to cook in your room.
Super nice house keeping and maintenance staff!
Stay went well. Suite was roomy, clean, and quiet. Enjoyed our time there.

The beds were comfortable. My only complaint was the tv didn’t work. We were only there for one night so not too big of deal. May have been nice to have had some type of compensation.
Check in was poor. No one at counter. Had to walk around to find someone then ended up call the hotel. Then the clerk walked out. He appeared to be under the influence.
This hotel is the best one we’ve stayed at in all the years we’ve visited Ames. A fantastic find for our son’s graduation weekend at Iowa State! We booked two rooms which were spacious, comfy, well-appointed suites that incl a kitchenette and sleeper sofa. There was enough room for all of us to gather, have drinks etc. Breakfast was outstanding in comparison to other hotels in the area. Staff was friendly and professional. Super clean. Highly recommended!
I was on my way through to Missouri and had a quick overnight stop in Ames, IA. I appreciated the large, spacious room with a full kitchen. I had a large cooler of food I was bringing with me, and having a full refrigerator in the room was a godsend. Very quiet and comfortable stay. Thanks for a good night’s rest! Would definitely stay here again.
Loved our stay here. The guy that checked us in was super friendly! We got a 2 bedroom suite which was perfect for our family of six. Breakfast had some great choices! We did t use the pool but we walked in to check it out, super hot in there! My complaint was the low pressure in the shower otherwise what a great stay!!
