Quality Inn & Suites Ames Conference Center Near Isu Campus ★★
"Nice hotel facilities"
Gateway Hotel and Conference Center ★★★
"As Iowa State alumni, the building made us feel like we were on campus. For an affordable rate, we enjoyed our stay more than the average hotel at a similar price point. This hotel offers a pool, hot tub and jacuzzi. Even though the facilities seemed a bit dated, we felt they were clean and enjoyed them greatly. The room was not so exciting but it seemed clean. I appreciated the lighting, including dimmers for night lights in the bedroom and bathroom. We tried the IowaStater in-house restaurant for breakfast. If you’re looking for a Midwest breakfast with all of the staples, they served us a memorable omelet with some of the best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had. All of the staff we met were kind and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to be close to campus."
Baymont by Wyndham Ames ★★
"Last minute reservation, no frills but has comfy beds, and had waffles for breakfast which is really all I needed … their pool was not open."
Courtyard Ames ★★★
"Excellent."
Staybridge Suites AMES by IHG ★★★
"Service and room were beautiful"
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames ★★
"It was an ok hotel. When we got to the room the room was very humid and the sheets were wet because of the humidity. The breakfast was just a Continental breakfast wasn’t worth the price difference."
Sonesta Essential Ames ★★
TownePlace Suites Ames ★★★
"Great staff and very friendly."
Iowa House ★★★

SpringHill Suites Ames
"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."
Sleep Inn & Suites Ames Near Isu Campus
"Checkin process was good; but the room was ice cold when I first arrived. After turning the AC off to get to a more livable temperature, I noticed that the chair by the window reeked of stale cigarette smoke. As long as the fan was always running and the temperature setting was cold, the smell was not noticeable; but hardly hospitable. The center of the bed sagged a bit; it might be due to the lack of proper bed support under the mattress. Plentiful hangers came in handy. Showers were very nice; lots of hot water and good pressure. I can't review the breakfast or facilities because I did not partake of either one. These problems can be quickly rectified; but I should not have to ask. They should have been observed by hotel staff and reported for correction. Housekeeping service showed up at 8:45 on the first day of a 3 day stay to clean the room but I was still sleeping. I didn't realize that I _HAD_ to put out a Do Not Disturb placard to keep them from waking me up. I thought they would be able to tell that I was still in the room with their housekeeping key. They did not return later that day to perform their tidy up routine."
Holiday Inn Express & Suites AMES by IHG
"Very comfortable hotel. I would like to use it next time."
AmericInn by Wyndham Ames
"The room was spacious with plenty of storage space. It was very clean. The staff was courteous and friendly. The breakfast area was well stocked with a good variety. We would stay there again."
Red Roof Inn Ames
"First couple days were great, however on our last day we wanted to stay another night but they couldn’t find us in their system, so the employee said I could just stay and when his boss woke up he would come down and fix it. He also told me I could stay pass check in since we were waiting for the boss. Fast forward a couple hours boss was still not up yet so I decided to cancel reservation on my phone since it wasn’t showing in their system anyways. I got my stuff out and planned to go to another hotel and an hour later the boss called me, sounded incredibly disrespectful saying if I was planning to leave I shouldn’t have stayed past check out (11) I proceeded to tell him his employee couldn’t figure it out and that we waited a few hours for him so then I finally cancelled. He still continued to talk rude to me saying I didn’t have the right to stay and I told him his employee was the one who told me to wait and stay longer. Overall cleanliness was good, rooms were nice, but whoever the boss is, needs to either learn how to start talking with respect, or give his employees a lecture on the dos and don’ts."
Hampton Inn & Suites Ames
"The room is clean. I like the bathroom with a shower instead of a bathtub. It is more convenient and easy to use. The bed is very comfortable. I really like the quilt covered with a quilt cover instead of the quilt covered with a sheet."
Days Inn by Wyndham Ames
"The location is great, you can walk to Sakdang and Merket, and the price is good, so I recommend it if you're going."
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ames, IA
Fairfield Inn & Suites Ames
"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."
GrandStay Hotel & Suites Ames
"I booked this hotel for 3 nights and i didn’t have room service any of nights. When i asked they said they did come and cleaned my room but the truth is they lied. When i forced them they replied they saw DND card on my door. I only pit DND card for the first night cause i was too tired then never put back. Horrible receptionist, his temper was too bad. In one time he started to smacking the table with his hands. This hotel employees are liar and horrible with service. Never again."
Loya's Little House Bed & Breakfast
"Loya's Little House was an absolute gem in Iowa! The atmosphere is peaceful and the story of the house is interesting too. We stayed in Loya's room, and it is very comfortable and quiet. But the best part of all was the breakfast the next morning, it is like eating in a 5-star restaurant."
