Hallways were very dark. Access was limited for handicapped people (walking down ramp was awkward and took time.) Bathroom fixtures were very small and low. Rooms were clean. Breakfast and coffee were good.

The hairdryer was gone from the wall, but the cord still hanging from wall looked chewed. We didn’t need it, however did let the front desk attendant know. Our sleep was fine. Would stay at this property again.

Adequate in Ames

The Super 8 in Ames was OK, except that I saw a small spider in the bathroom (not moving while I looked at it, but later I saw that it had moved into a corner.) Otherwise, the room was comfortable enough. The breakfast options were nice.

Had trouble with key cards two days in a row. TV in room didn't work, I advised the front desk and they said they would come up in ten minutes, never showed. If you just need a bed, this motel will meet your needs.

We both were super itchy in the bed which is very scary! The room was dirty, the toilet struggled to flush, and the sink wouldn’t drain.
