Stayed a couple nights for a concert. Staff is very friendly and the hotel was clean and comfortable. They even put out a nice spread for everyone after the concert!

We really like this hotel. We come to Ames often because our child attends Iowa State University. We try to stay at the Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites when we're there. The rooms are comfortable, the lobby is nice, and the pool is good.

Front desk clerk very nice. The room itself was very clean, shower was wonderful! Breakfast was mid. Hotel very dog friendly! Hallways could definitely use some updating. Close proximity to the places we wanted to go!

10/10 Exceptional

It was a good place to stay. When a concert as large as this is in town, you really need to have a huge shuttle van to take people to the stadium and bring people back. We had to walk almost 2 miles back from the stadium due to no Ubers available. Nice that the hotel had meat and cheese after the concert! Room was clean and the breakfast was amazing.

We really enjoyed our stay at the BWP in Ames. We weren't in the room much but the room was spotless and the beds are the most comfortable hotel bed we have slept on in a long time. The breakfast is the standard free breakfast stuff but the filing station is next door with a awesome breakfast. We will be back.

The Best Western Plus in Ames was really great for our stay! We were in town to see family for a few days and spent the nights here as well as breakfast everyday. The Pros - Price, Breakfast food + coffee machine, Safe location, Clean and well kept lobby and rooms. Cons - the hot tub was wayyyy too hot to use. The beds and pillows could be better. Overall a good place for the value that is really well kept up by staff! I will recommend!

We stayed for an Iowa State football game and liked that we had an easy walk to the stadium so didn't have to worry about the stress of parking. The breakfast was great, the staff were friendly, and the rooms and public spaces were well kept.
