"Wouldn’t spend my money here again"

Manager called the room atleast 5x about “multiple” people being in my room even though I warned them I was having an event and I was coming from 2 hours away.

Very dirty atmosphere and the walls are falling apart, smells bad in the halls aswell , and the breakfast is awful not to mention (only toast & off brand cereal). Worst hotel visit of my life.

While not in the town center, it's just far enough to still be a quiet area, and be easily connected to the rest of Ames. The price for the nights, and is very pet friendly! The shower was also handicapable as my twin has a metal hip, and after sitting in a car, it can be hard to stand in a shower, or get out of a tub and it perfectly fit a shower chair and didn't make a mess in the bathroom!
