Wonderful stay

Loved our stay here. The guy that checked us in was super friendly! We got a 2 bedroom suite which was perfect for our family of six. Breakfast had some great choices! We did t use the pool but we walked in to check it out, super hot in there! My complaint was the low pressure in the shower otherwise what a great stay!!

Quiet place for a good night’s sleep

I was on my way through to Missouri and had a quick overnight stop in Ames, IA. I appreciated the large, spacious room with a full kitchen. I had a large cooler of food I was bringing with me, and having a full refrigerator in the room was a godsend. Very quiet and comfortable stay. Thanks for a good night’s rest! Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is the best one we’ve stayed at in all the years we’ve visited Ames. A fantastic find for our son’s graduation weekend at Iowa State! We booked two rooms which were spacious, comfy, well-appointed suites that incl a kitchenette and sleeper sofa. There was enough room for all of us to gather, have drinks etc. Breakfast was outstanding in comparison to other hotels in the area. Staff was friendly and professional. Super clean. Highly recommended!

The hotel was new and clean. Suites were spacious. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good with a good variety of foods. The only reason i didn't give it a 5 start was that we were unable to check in at 4pm because only 1 of the 3 rooms had been cleaned. We were on a time crunch so we unloaded everyone into the 1 clean room and came back later.

My family of 5 decided to take a last minute trip to Boone Speedway and found Staybridge Suites. It seemed to be the best bang for your buck out of the surrounding hotels, even airbnbs. The property was clean and quiet. The beds were phenomenal. Its the first time Ive woke up in a hotel without my neck and back hurting. The showers do take a little longer than normal to warm up, but no big deal there. The pool is in its own building just outside the back door and it has a really nice back patio. We spent time there sitting around the firepit. The staff was kind and welcoming. We'll be staying there again next year.

Our son will be a freshman at Iowa State University in the fall. We chose to stay at Staybridge because we needed to complete a college visit. What we found was a nicely appointed lobby, which was very clean. The front desk hostess e was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area. Our room looked amazing! Very large and comfortable. More than enough room for our family. I was very pleased with what we discovered and the next time we are in Ames, Iowa we would definitely stay there again. It’s close to campus and the highway. The amenities are very nice. The staff is friendly. What more could a visitor ask for?

Hotel Ames

For a brand new building, it has elements of it not being cleaned after construction and also just being dirty. There is a lot of scrapes and just looks really worn down for a hotel less than a year old. When I walked in one lady that worked there scurried away and the front desk was almost annoyed that I arrived, as it took a while for her to warm up. The room is decent and bed is good and it was quiet. Breakfast was pretty average. Unfortunately this seems to be the way the industry is moving to, slap buildings together, and cram people in them.

Problem solvers because lots of problems?

This was tricky to rate! I chose this hotel and paid more than others in the area hoping it would make things less stressful for a business trip I took my kids on. It did not. Pool was closed, TV wasn’t working, and the bathroom sinks are so tall my 7 yr old couldn’t reach to turn them off and on. That said, most of the staff were willing to problem solve-moved rooms halfway through for a working TV, borrowed a step stool from the front desk (they should buy a few of the $10 kids ones form walmart!). So the staff was willing to solve problems, it just seems they’ve been left by the franchise or property owner with a lot of problems to solve. Overall, it’s not the place to stay with kids, or at least not worth paying 30% more than other options in town if you don’t really need to be able to cook in your room. Super nice house keeping and maintenance staff!

Hotel is nice and rooms are big and well equipped. However, on last two stays, the key cards did not work. Got them re-set, and still did not work. Really frustrating. This is 2024!! Key cards are not a new technology. Staff acted like it was my fault, but they couldn’t get the cards to work, either.

Not bad but lots of minor problems

The hotel was newer and you could tell. Whoever the contractor was did a horrible job finishing it. Things were broke. If you miss measure something just of caulk a bunch...lol. there were Holes in the shower. We were moved from 1 room to another cause the TV was broke. Then the TV in the newer room broke as well. No one there to fix it or help at night. Beds and room were comfortable. And front staff did what they could about TV which was not much.
