10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient for our conference."

Cobblestone Inn & Suites - Boone

10/10 Excellent

"Well kept, clean, newer property with the basic amenities and perks to make a great stay. Big lobby area to hang out, have a drink and play some cards. Comfortable and spacious room. Small "gym" with only a couple machines but adequate for our needs. Good enough breakfast to start the day. Good location if need a stay after hiking the Ledges or riding the rail."

Hilton Garden Inn Ames

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious and clean. However, the only downside was that there was nowhere to hang towels in the bathroom. Adding some towel hooks would be a helpful improvement, but overall it was a pleasant stay."

"Everything went great"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"As always our stay was pleasant and the space is what we needed. The lobby always smells good. The property is starting to show some age. Staff is helpful and friendly. I guess my one negative comment would be the breakfast was less than the standard. They are pet friendly and have a reasonable fee compared to others."
