I had the best time here during homecoming weekend. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in and started talking about the football game this weekend and told us all about the town and what to avoid and what to go see!! They helped us out with every question and suggested we try this Thai place on main... more

We asked the front desk to call a cab for us, they gave us the number to do it ourselves, which was great since there was no pen by the phone. When our cab left us, they gave us the number for another one-totally helpful since I could've called Free411 and gotten more help. Our room was a smoking room,... more

The hotel was nice. Clean. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Workout room and pool were nice. We were disappointed with the breakfast bar. Eggs were dried out and the food on the breakfast bar was not being restocked. We stay at a lot of Holiday Inn Expresses and the breakfast was not up to the usual standards. more

PC membership recognized upon check-in and uprade given, lightening fast- professional check-in, friendly & prompt service all 4 nights, comfortable and well appointed accomodations, breakfast hot and fresh each morning (free), many choices! Very pleased, would recommend and will absolutely stay again! Oh, the pool was warm and inviting (indoor) plenty of towels too. more

GREAT place to stay. Right off the highway, the staff is so friendly and always smiling and willing to help. I felt right at home when I walked in. The cookies were great and breakfast was very nice. I will definitely be staying here again when in ames! more

I spent one night at this hotel during the floods. I didn't have a reservation, so I drove up and went to the front desk. They were able to get me a room for about $110. The front desk staff was very friendly. The room was very large, but everything about this hotel felt cheap. For example, the room had... more

We stayed here the night before an ISU basketball game and found the accomodations to be quite nice. Huge bathroom - soft towels, comfy beds, good TV channel selection and a toasty warm pool were all benefits of our stay. I was slightly let down to see a poster for breakfast promoting bacon and eggs only to find out they... more

I wouldn't recommend this hotel with anyone with kids. They are very demeaning to young adolescents and wouldn't even provide enough towels for children. Absolutely, bar none, the WORST experience I have ever witnessed and as for the slogan, "If you're not satisfied with your night's stay, it's on us." That statement is bogus, even the national headquarters don't back... more

Very nice hotel. Not sure how old it is, but it appeared fairly new. Very clean, good beds, lots of lights in the room. Everything at the hotel worked well, ice machine, elevator, etc. Well kept property. Right off the interstate and only about 10 min. away from campus. The girls at the front desk could stand to work on... more

I booked a last minute room the night before the Iowa vs. Iowa State game. I was afraid there wouldn't be any rooms left in town, but they had a wonderful room at a great price. The room was big, clean and welcoming. The bathroom was huge, well stocked and spotless. I'd definately stay here again. more
