Top Farm House Museum Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Ames near ISU Campus

10/10 Excellent

"We will stay here again. New hotel only a couple years old. Beds were great. As someone who has a tall person in the family and has long hair, the shower heads were the best I have had in a long time...high enough for 6'4 person and pressure was strong enough I didn't have to spend 20 minutes rinsing my hair. Breakfast was good too. Thanks to Chris for helping us out and you could tell the staff cares. We had a room right by the pool and it was quiet and did not smell like pool. The only thing I did not like was the mint smelling shampoo/lotion."

Qube Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything overall was good. We had to check in around midnight because we drove from about 5 hours away and website stated that there was 24/7 service but when we got there we were informed that they close the lobby at 11pm meaning you aren’t able to check in after then and I wish that would’ve been informed in either the website or on the reservation because we assumed that booking we would be able to check in as soon as we got in. I am not sure if it was the owner of the hotel who checked us in he was still very helpful & allowed us to"
