“Clean, quiet & away from busy city”

Boone is a short drive from Ames & this hotel is the perfect place to stay away from the noisy city. It's clean, comfortable, safe, and the staff are wonderfully Iowa-friendly. Indoor pool makes it a family destination. A few places to eat are a short distance, but the hotel breakfast center is a great ammenity.

“An excellent breakfast and stay.”

Clean and remodeled rooms. Nice people. Hard water--Nice place to stay.

“Very Nice”

This was one of the cleanest and nicest rooms I've ever stayed in. Very convenient location. Staff was friendly. Didn't have time to use the pool, but the pool area appeared just as immaculate as the rest of the place. I will stay there again the next time I come into town.

“Positive experience”

We stayed at this motel about 7 years ago and was pleased to find it had been well maintained. Helpful staff. A little more than your average continental breakfast. I appreciate all facilities that have some exercise equipment in house - a must in my opinion.

“Nice stay”

It was a nice stay...just hard to regulate the temperature in the room (like just about any other hotel room I've been in)

“O.k. location, easy to get to.”

O.K.

“Not what I expected”

For the cost of the hotel, I expected a bit more. If you're looking for a place to sleep and watch a little TV, and don't mind paying twice as much as the Super 8 down the street (for the same room amenities) stay here. No microwave, or fridge in room. No wired internet either. They give you a password for wireless, but it was way too slow to be worth it. Since I got the room for "cheap" on Expedia, I got the handicap access room, which was a bit anoying, but now I know what to expect. I'll stay elsewhere for the same amenities, at half the cost.

“Fine if you have to stay in Boone, but skip if you can stay elsewhere”

If you're forced to spend the night in Boone, IA, not the worst place. Basics of the hotel were fine - everything worked in the room and it seemed clean. Front desk service left something to be desired. The young lady at the desk didn't seem to think it was important to tell me where the closest entrance to my room was. Said nothing, so I assumed it was main entrance only. After hauling in family's luggage the long way through the lobby, I discovered one of the 'emergency exit' doors I passed along the way was also an alternative entrance (with use of your room key)...would have been good to know upon check-in. Later, we tried taking the kids for a swim and the pool was ice cold - this wasn't just our opinion, but that of everyone in the pool. Again, I spoke to the same young lady and she gave me some 'doubletalk' excuse about it being heated, but the cool temps outside affecting the pool temp inside yadda, yadda, yadda...basically, she knew nothing and couldn't do anything about it. Our stay was over a weekend, which I am assume like most hotels, is when they have the most guests...probably a good idea to have someone on hand would know how to adjust the temp to the 'heated' pool.

“Not impressed”

While the room and the hotel looked nice. I think the rooms flood because the room smelled very musty. and the carpet seemed kind of damp. I wouldn't stay there again
