The hotel was pretty good. But the restaurant was closed and the pool wasnt working. Thats one of the first things I look for when I book a room is whether or not they have a pool. So that was disappointing . The hot tub and sauna was decent, just too many people, so couldnt really enjoy any of it!!

The hotel is ok. But dirty. Lots of hotels in Ames do yourself a favor and book one that employees maids. I never saw one the whole stay and didnt get my room cleaned in between nights. And my friends had a dirty room upon arrival.
