This hotel is only about 4 months old so it is bound to be in great shape, but the staff was extremely friendly.
Especially a young woman who worked Sunday morning at the breakfast buffet. She greeted everyone like
she had known them for years! She was so natural and happy. That is not something you can teach. Great hire!

We enjoy staying at this property whenever we are in Ames visiting our college student daughter. The property is new, clean, well serviced and has Starbucks beverages and snacks in the cafe downstairs. It is located just off Duff Avenue, the major shopping and dining street in Ames, and is also close to several apartment complexes where students live. Parking is right outside the front door.

We love this hotel! We've stayed 2-3 times in the last couple of years. This last time was the best, starting with Michelle, who checked us into the hotel. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just great in representing the hotel. Our room was fantastic, beds were so comfortable even after a full day at Adventureland. The shower had multiple adjustments, and it had these awesome shampoo, conditioner, and body wash pumps on the wall of the shower - they smelled wonderful! The pool/whirlpool...

Excellent place to stay! Good location near ISU and los of amenities. Stayed in the 2Q suite. Large enough to have dining table. High ceilings. Larger bathroom. Super comfy single armchair. Quiet at night even on weekend. Very accommodating with our two dogs. The staff was fantastic! Helpful, kind and went the extra mile every time. Laundry facility and jacuzzi were awesome. Breakfast area is large with plenty of seating (unless it’s ISU move in week!). Decent hot breakfast. Good coffee. Will...

I wanted to find a place to get away for a day and relax. The hotel was great. There wasn't alot of people there so i had the pool all to myself. rooms are very modern and beds are super comfortable. I stayed in a king size suite and would definitely stay there again. The free breakfast in the morning was also a great added bonus.
