Terrible hotel and staff. I suspect they may be renting rooms by the hour. This hotel used to be a clean affordable place to stay with a great staff. I rented two room for three nights so parents and grand parents could attend a wedding. When we arrived we were given keys to dirty rooms with unmade beds, trash, and broken tile in the bathrooms. I selected and paid for king beds, but after changing rooms all they gave us was two queen beds. Again, the bathrooms had broken tile. Formerly, the stays included a hot breakfast. This time all they had was stale bagels and a few bruised apples. I approached the desk attendant and asked for a discount or some sort of consolation for being subjected to such horrid conditions. They flat out refused any sort of discount. I should also mention that they ran out of coffee and the ironing board looked like it was ran over by a truck. DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. It is the worst hotel in Ames. New management would rather run a homeless shelter than a hotel. I only gave it a one star because negative stars were not an option. Bad is a compliment for this nasty place.

The hot/cold knobs on sink we’re backwards!!! There’s was no linens for the pullout sofa. The door for the closest was broken. The water coming out of the shower sprayed EVERYWHERE!! I had to fix it myself! No hot breakfast. Very disappointed for the price. Will not stay here again

There was an ambulance at the front when we arrived so the staff was obviously dealing with something. The room was nice enough and I like the 12pm check-out. A lot of food options are close by as it’s close to ISU campus. However, pool was closed, half the equipment in the gym weren’t working, and the only Gluten free option for breakfast was a yogurt.
