"I like everything about this hotel" That’s a quote from my husband.
Jane, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok For First Time in Ames

Another odd bathroom design with a door that slides closed instead of shuts. Gap on either side of the door provides no privacy while in bathroom. Elevators creak and whistle while moving and do not give confidence.
Brian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Had to move rooms because toilet would not flush, and shower was also dirty in the first room. Room was hot then cold throughout the night. Pillows okay

They didn’t have my rooms.

We had reserved 5 rooms for ISU graduation and when we got there they had none under my name. Then said one system you aren’t in and another system you have one room. I showed my reservation I made on Hotels.com and that didn’t help until I said I need 5 rooms.

No breakfast

Breakfast was not included. Counter staff directed us to the restaurant onsite for breakfast. It was closed and the doors were locked. The pillows are horrible. The beds are okay
