Home2 Suites By Hilton Ames

Home2 Suites By Hilton Ames

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was clean and quiet. It was exactly what we needed. Hallways are clean and quiet as well. Construction was going on in the main lobby. Though it was clean and quiet as well. The pool area is very small, and the water was too cold to use. Breakfast had different options, so there was something for each of us. We would use this hotel again. Great spot for our college girl to get studing done while spending time with us."
