We were impressed with the room for the good value. The breakfast was good. The swimming pool was too cold to go swimming. The outside was not impressive but nice inside. It was quiet. Close to the interstate and downtown Ames. We would definitely stay again.

You get what you pay for.

The motel was adequate, nothing special. Pool was cold, breakfast had few options and most were pre-packaged. Waffle machine, yogurt, 2 kinds of creal, coffee & juice. Beds were comfortable, room was spacious & clean.
