Top Ames Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Ames

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older hotel but the owner and staff are very helpful and conscientious to Make sure you’re well cared for. I do recommend this hotel"

Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The king bed suite with a sittings room and bedroom is very comfortable and we were glad to have a combination tub and shower as well as a mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave. Other niceties include hooks on the bathroom door inside and long mirrors in the room. There also is very adequate lighting and electrical outlets. The espresso machine was very welcome. (Breakfast could have been better if oatmeal was served and not some kind of gravy.) We especially appreciated the helpful front desk when we needed to revise our stay."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ames, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very easy to locate. In the area we were going to be spending time. Easy check-in. Late hours open for being able to use the pool! Good breakfast. We ate closer to finishing time but there was enough food even though no staff was attending. The regular coffee pot was all but dry, A lot of pumping to fill the cup. They seemed serious about recycling! Liked that! Comfortable bed! Slept well even though being close to Interstate and 4 lane highways."
