We stayed 3 nights and room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great with different types of eggs & sausage each day along with 2 kinds of waffles, breads, scones, muffins, oatmeal, fruit. We only had time on one night to use the pool but it was a bit too cold. Staff was all pleasant but not around much in the evening. But no problems with our stay. Would definitely stay again.

The check in was quick and easy. The room was great and the breakfast was very good and quite generous. The Hampton was " much" nicer than the Double Tree by Hilton in Minneapolis. I wish I had known this before I booked it. The staff in Ames seemed happier and friendlier. Great Job Hampton!!! Thank you.
