"ISU orientation stay"

Warm and thoughtful place to stay. Just a few blocks from school- an easy bus ride or walk. Calm evening and wonderful breakfast. We will be back!

Initially a little odd as it is unconventional compared to most hotels. But overall was better than majority of hotels I ever stayed in. Also wasn’t expensive. Breakfast was a Harry Potter dining hall type vibe. Easily met knew people. Staff engaged in conversation. Bars right around the corner. Clean bathroom. Fridge and microwave was like 5 feet from the toilet in my room which was weird but overall easily a great place to stay, and I don’t leave reviews often

We had a fantastic experience at Iowa House! Best place to stay in Ames by far. The staff was excellent & the breakfasts were amazing. A very unique and relaxing atmosphere. As class of 1984 ISU alumni, it was a very special time to reconnect with Iowa State. We will recommend to all our friends traveling through Iowa!

Great stay at the Iowa House. Great access to campus and restaurants and my daughters apartment - able to walk. Breakfast was good. Loved that there were snacks and water or coffee or tea available all hours.
