    beautifully decorated room
    great value

    It was just an optimal selection for a weekend excursion in Ames with outstanding value. Our Deluxe Double Room was beautifully decorated, which made our short stay more enjoyable. Make sure to book through third-party sites for better rates next time.

    labeling issue

    The décor blends lovely antiques with modern comforts, creating a charming atmosphere. The common areas offer spaciousness, perfect for relaxing after a day out.

    Finding room 101 was a bit tricky due to the lack of proper labeling, which added stress after a long drive. The breakfast offerings could be improved, as I noted a lot of processed food and waste from packaging, which felt a little dated for my taste.

The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, with large windows showcasing lovely neighborhood views. The hot breakfast, featuring made-to-order eggs, is arguably the best in Ames, and the staff's friendly service enhances the experience.

    cozy lounge
    higher room rate

    I had an amazing time, especially enjoying the charming decor and the delicious hot breakfast with made-to-order eggs. The cozy lounge area was perfect for unwinding after a long day, and the fitness center was a nice bonus for staying active. The only hiccup was the room rate for extending my stay, which was a bit higher than expected, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 😊
