5 out of 5 stars

Pros: best breakfast options we’ve ever had at a hotel, clean pool, great pillows, clean rooms, friendly staff, quiet hallways, lighted parking lot, easy access into Ames. Cons: really pricey to stay, not the most comfortable mattresses, loud pool area, and prepare yourself that people in the dining area can watch you swim through windows adjoining the two rooms Overall: great for our family of 5, but I didn’t realize the steep price when I booked. (My oversight. It was over $500 for only 2 nights. From prior stays in the area, I’ve been at comparable places for $150-$200 less.). We would definitely return when we visit family, but the price will have us going elsewhere. The staff was excellent though.
