Ames Hotels with Free Parking.

The room layout is very warm, the breakfast is delicious, the surrounding environment is elegant, the quietness of Ames is experienced, and the traffic is very convenient. It is nearly ten minutes walk from Iowa State University.

This room was nice for big families. The kids loved the pool. It had a good breakfast selection.

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.

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.

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.

Not bad, mainly because the location is better. The facilities are relatively old and the overall conditions are average. It is on the edge of Duff Ave, not far from the supermarket, and there is a panda restaurant nearby.
