The staff were friendly. The condition of the hotel and rooms were in need of some TLC and cleaning. The window did not seal well so we hear the highway all night. The breakfast was good. All items were pre-packaged.

Happy quiet weekend
Checked into the hotel Friday evening with my son and check in was fast. The young lady who checked us in was very nice and helpful and explained everything to us. Our weekend stay was very relaxing and fun while staying there.

It was ok for a safe and economical place to sleep and move on. Older property with noisy room AC and limited breakfast and lobby seating. It was a clean room. Staff was friendly.

We were impressed with the room for the good value. The breakfast was good. The swimming pool was too cold to go swimming. The outside was not impressive but nice inside. It was quiet. Close to the interstate and downtown Ames. We would definitely stay again.

You get what you pay for.
The motel was adequate, nothing special. Pool was cold, breakfast had few options and most were pre-packaged. Waffle machine, yogurt, 2 kinds of creal, coffee & juice.
Beds were comfortable, room was spacious & clean.

I found the motel to be very clean, staff was very nice, I would stay there again, I was stuck because of the weather. Only thing negative was no ice melt put out, very slippery.
