Ac is kept off in rooms until guest turn them off. It was so hot and humid in the rooms that we had it at the lowest temp and highest setting and after an hour it was still miserable. Honestly was cooler outside than in the room when I got the keys. I was told it’s a hotel policy as per management.

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.

The hotel is in need of updating. The pool was out of order. The room smelled musty and smoky. It just looked very tired and in need of updating. I don’t think I would stay here again.

The lobby, parking lot and area around the hotel was immaculate. The bathroom tub was a little dated. The room was clean. It would be nice if they cleaned the pool. The dirt ring around the pool was about 3” wide which tells means the just add water and the floor of the pool was slimy.

Dont expect a 4 star hotel for the price of a 2 star. This property is a little older, and doesnt have all the amenities of higher priced hotels. What it does have is clean comfortable rooms and friendly helpful staff. That's all we needed, and we were not disappointed.

The guy that checked us in was not very nice. I felt like he was very unprofessional. He came off as he didn’t want to be there. Sitting in the lobby, a couple walked in to check in as well, and the guy at the front desk gave The customer a room key to a room somebody was already staying in. Which made us feel super unsafe. The bathroom was very dirty.
