Ames visit
Service was good. Light switch for heater fan seemed to be broken as the light never shut off. Couple of trash items left behind that were a little gross. Overall not a bad place to visit, and we've stayed here before. Maybe just some rough edges that need attention. Overall a nice place and staff.

Clean- needs some updates
This hotel is clean and I love the close location to Iowa State campus. The room doors could stand to be replaced. They are lightweight and wood and block no sound. You could hear every conversation in the hallway. There’s also a big enough gap between the door and the door jam that I could see light into the hall.

It was ok.
There were a couple things that could have been better. Our door did not seal to the hallway. You could see through to the hall. The shower needed to have Drano poured down. The breakfast was empty of things 30 minutes before it was supposed to be over. Never refilled. Pool was closed but nothing said on the website.
