Quiet place for a good night’s sleep

I was on my way through to Missouri and had a quick overnight stop in Ames, IA. I appreciated the large, spacious room with a full kitchen. I had a large cooler of food I was bringing with me, and having a full refrigerator in the room was a godsend. Very quiet and comfortable stay. Thanks for a good night’s rest! Would definitely stay here again.

Will

Disliked: Staff & service
We came at a time where there were a lot of kids staying in the room above us. They were making so much noise and hitting the floor so hard it rattled the fixtures and things fell in the kitchen. We called the front desk, they told us the noise was due to the stairs. We called a second time when the noise persisted. We were again told it was the stairs and the employee did nothing about it. We had to go to the room and knock on the door ourselves to get the noise to stop.

Problem solvers because lots of problems?

This was tricky to rate! I chose this hotel and paid more than others in the area hoping it would make things less stressful for a business trip I took my kids on. It did not. Pool was closed, TV wasn’t working, and the bathroom sinks are so tall my 7 yr old couldn’t reach to turn them off and on. That said, most of the staff were willing to problem solve-moved rooms halfway through for a working TV, borrowed a step stool from the front desk (they should buy a few of the $10 kids ones form walmart!). So the staff was willing to solve problems, it just seems they’ve been left by the franchise or property owner with a lot of problems to solve. Overall, it’s not the place to stay with kids, or at least not worth paying 30% more than other options in town if you don’t really need to be able to cook in your room. Super nice house keeping and maintenance staff!

Hotel is nice and rooms are big and well equipped. However, on last two stays, the key cards did not work. Got them re-set, and still did not work. Really frustrating. This is 2024!! Key cards are not a new technology. Staff acted like it was my fault, but they couldn’t get the cards to work, either.

Not ready

First room would not unlock, switched to another room, the silverware drawer was blocked shut by what appeared to be the bracket that was supposed to hold the stove top in place. Staff was fine but not very friendly.

Jessica

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This facility is new. The new construction is not completely finished. There were no curtains in our living room. There was spackle and paint on the carpet, giant gouges in the kitchen flooring, no dresser in the room with two beds, but two telephones in that room, a lamp behind a TV, because it didn’t get hung on the wall. Definitely not worth what we paid per night. Front end manager unhelpful. Still waiting on a call from the area manager.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was a relatively new and very clean place to stay; good breakfast. Highly recommend. One thing though: I arrived very late for reasons beyond my control, was very apologetic to the night manager, said sorry if I disturbed her rest. The next morning, after four hours sleep, getting ready for major event, she laid into me for accusing her of unprofessionalism, etc., that she had never been talked to in such a way. I said I was sorry, that I was exhausted, needed to get on zoom classes with my students (she was unable to help me with wifi issues).... and she came back with "well I was a teacher for 22 years." It was a little odd. I think we all have to put up with each other, tiredness, misunderstanding, and so on, but when you work in the 'service industry', one should resist the temptation to lash out at a client/guest whom you feel has treated you poorly -- never mind one who has actually not treated you poorly. I think this was a passing and strange encounter. Otherwise, the hotel is fantastic.

To be honest, I was a little taken back that this was a new property. The bathroom was very outdated. I would say bathtub was yellow. The caulking was already changing color and then on top of it all when it was storming at night, I had water pouring into my room onto the carpet, which I did bring to the staffs attention in the morning and they just said they will tell their maintenance to look into it and put the room out of service.
