"While the hotel itself was very clean, comfortable beds, and located centrally, there were major issues with their plumbing and the toilets were not working. We couldn’t use our own bathroom we had to dress and walk down the hall to the lobby bathroom. Extremely inconvenient. They did have plumbers come in and we were not the only ones that had the issues as several others had complained. Other than that, the hotel itself was very nice, the beds were super comfortable and the staff was very nice."

"A very normal hotel in the United States. The room is normal without too many fancy items. It just provides a comfortable environment for a good night's sleep. The bed is 1.8 meters long and very comfortable. There is a big difference with domestic hotels. The same group and the same brand, the difference between domestic and foreign hotels is huge. Chinese people always say how bad domestic star hotels are, how the supporting facilities are not perfect, the breakfast is not rich enough, etc. I have a chance to see what you will criticize after staying here."

Charming Franklin House: Close to Campus, Sleeps 6

Hotel near Ames
Enjoy your adventure or quiet weekend away in Ames from our cozy home. Nestled in a quiet family-friendly neighborhood, it is just a 10-min walk to campus and a shorter 5-min walk away from the CyRide for a quick bus ride to/from ISU games. This home is ideal for relaxed Ames getaways, college visits, and ISU games! Enjoy on-site parking, 3 spacious bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.

Our house is a renovated mid-century 1 1/2 story home nestled into an idyllic neighborhood full of unique homes and history. This very functional and peaceful home is a great base of operations for everything ISU.

Guests are able to access each space of the home with the exception of the garage where storage of lawn care equipment is located. The newly restored basement (completely unfinished) is available for laundry use only. There is no useable living space or bedrooms located in the basement.

There are two off-street parking spots in the home's driveway. There is also ample free street parking in front of the home.

We would love the opportunity to host you!About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:City Quiet Hours: 12 AM - 7 AM.Take off shoes and leave on mat in entry way..About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 18.About events:No events allowed.
