Top Ames Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Ames near ISU Campus

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and nice breakfast for getting the day started. Friendly staff."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ames, IA

10/10 Excellent

"I was in Ames, Iowa for a family emergency. I needed sleep and asked Sandy at check in if she could get me a quiet room. Boy, did she ever. I didn’t hear a peep on the third floor my entire stay.. Even with a ISU football game one weekend. I ended up extending my stay twice and was seamlessly kept in the same room. The room was very clean and up-to-date. The breakfast was solid, rotating scrambled eggs, omelettes, sausages, bacon… and having waffles, granola bars, fruit… available all days. There’s also an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi that’s open all year round, a significant perk in this winter climate. Ames is a college town with lots of hotel choices. Many are very nice and I would put this property among the very top options. It’s conveniently located near I-35 and Highway 30, a quick drive to the Iowa State campus and maybe more importantly, Hickory Park restaurant. If you’ve been to Ames, you know what I’m talking about. There is also a nice Mexican restaurant, an Olive Garden and a pancake house in the immediate vicinity. Many other stores and restaurants are five minutes away on Duff Avenue. And did I mention they have fresh baked cookies in the lobby?"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"Checkin was easy and the staff friendly. Our room was small but efficient for 2 people. The bathtub and shower had hairs on them. The carpet had not been vacuumed well, behind the door and under tables was very dusty. The curtain on the windows was very dirty as well. Nothing terrible but it could use a deep clean. Breakfast was simple, bagels, muffins, waffles,boiled eggs."

Days Inn by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, comfortable bed. No hand soap in the room. Mirrors were awful to put on makeup! Breakfast was a joke, waffle maker wasn’t turned on so cold cereal, yogurt or packaged muffins. Smelly pizza box was in the hallway for two days!! Outside garbage was overflowing!! Don’t like kiosk check in!"
