During my stay the Suite I booked was very clean and house keeping was great and respectful with my stuff i had in the room as I booked for multiple days. They knew what to throw away and what I might want to keep I was impressed when I came back to the room as I was in a hurry in the morning to get somewhere and left it a bit disorganized but I came back to an excellent cleaned room and my luggage and belongings unbothered. I also like that it is close by a place for night activities "Perfect Games" it's a very fun arcade place for all ages with bowling this was perfect. Thanks for the great service and having me stay at your hotel during my stay in Ames.

The hotel was a good place but nothing write home about. Breakfast was $10.00 for a buffett that was comparable to others that are typically included in the room rate but not here. The thing I did not like was the air conditioning. When it came on, it made so much noise I could not hear the television and had to increase the volume. It also made this noise during the night as it came on several times waking up my wife.
