      room was nice, bathroom a little too small. Breakfast area is way too small and breakfast items leave a lot to be desired. Went and ate breakfast out both days we were there. There were several sports teams staying and the breakfast area was no where near big enough to accommodate people.

      the room was clean when arrived, the front desk staff was very personable, the breakfast was standard. I was there for an event that had alot of highschoolers in the hotel and it was very quiet so that was a very pleasant surprise. For the money I would definately stay again.

      "Great place, especially if just passing through." Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 4, 2013

      I've stayed in a couple of hotels in Ames and this was the best experience. Averaged price and very clean. The location is the only thing that could have been better. It's great for someone just passing through, right of I-35 and highway 30. The only thing in walking distance though is a mexican restaraunt. If you're looking for night life, the cabs can take awhile also.

    Like the location of the Gateway. Surprised, since a conference center, that refrigerator and/or microwave was an extra request and charge. Room clean and beds comfortable. Pool area also clean. Did find layout of plugs and lights in room inconvenient for more than one quest in room trying to get ready in morning. Hard to plug appliances in anywhere […] except for nightstand area and bathroom. But price was right for the weekend, and close to ISU! Read more

    Overall Good. I attempted to check-in early. My room was not ready, but the staff took my name and telephone number and called us when the room was ready, and still was about an hour before the published check-in time. The room was clean and quiet, with good bedding. The only real need that we had was for a couple of extra bath towels. They were delivered […] pleasantly and quickly, and that was appreciated. No surprises with the bill (which is always appreciated). Read more

    We booked this room because of the pool and got there to find out it was "under construction" I was very dissapointed. also we ate at the hotel resturant and the service was extremely slow and the people around us were having issues getting their food.

    One of the good dependable places to stay in Ames, more of a "Hotel" with the access to a bar and restaurant etc. Check in is always fast and easy, rooms are well appointed. We appreciate internet access. We do miss some of the "Motel" standards like a min-fridge or microwave that many of the other newer places have. We also have never quite figured […] out the climate control system in Gateway rooms. Read more

    4 night stay for an IOWA STATE CYCLONE football game. Good location, good price. My only complaint was our bathroom fan and shower. Our room (#615) had one of those vintage 2.5 gallon/minute shower heads that is about the size of a quarter that just spits at you. It spit such a fine mist that the water seemed to cool off before it hit my body. The water […] also wasn't hot-hot. However, I also rented an adjoining room (#617) for our friends, they had a nice shower head and very hot water, so it may have been an isolated issue just with room 615. Also, there is no separate fan switch for the bathroom, so it fogged up the whole room. There seemed to be a main intake duct for the rooms, but they weren't visibly sucking air (I checked with some toilet paper). The beds were VERY comfortable and we slept great. My wife even said, "I could just take that bed home with me!" Read more

    Less than desired water pressure--or maybe no the actual pressure but the way the nozzle allowed the water to spray. I felt like I was not getting the soap rinsed off. Plus the tub/shower floor itself was a bit slippery when first stepping into the tub. After the first time, learned to be a lot more surefooted.

    When you first walk in the hotel has a very nice appearance. From the nice little waterfall to the beautiful elevator. The carpeting color and condition took away from and otherwise nice place. The restraunt in the motel was nice in appearance. The food and service was.not so nice. Expensive and not that good. The room we stayed in had two queen size […] beds.

    We called for reservations Jan. 31, 2012 to book in the block of rooms with our wedding party for set for June 9, but were told the hotel was full by the sales/reservation staff. After calling twice, and being rudely told there was no availability, we booked 2 queen double rooms through Expedia, and received immediate confirmation but at a higher rate. […] We called to confirm our reservation Thurs. before arriving Sat. and were told it was fine. On arrival, they said "we've upgraded you to an executive suite," and gave us 2 King rooms without even a pullout couch, and offered rollaways for our family rather than our "confirmed" rooms!! We were put at the other end of the building away from most of our family. Our rooms were to be non-smoking and smelled like smoke. We also found out that several other people that had reserved in advance, had similar issues with booking and were also bumped from the type of rooms they reserved. It's a shame that the hotel would treat its guests like this, and even worse that they wouldn't prioritize a large wedding reception to save their reputation. Our family will never stay there again!

    The Gateway Hotel was just what we were looking for. There was a restaraunt and bar on the second floor. The bed was super comfortable king. They did have some kind of convention going on that night so there were some loud girls about 1 a.m. in the hallway but my wife likes to sleep with the tv on so it was not enough to detract from the score at all. […] We would definitely go back.

    I really like the Gateway, my wife was not happy with the fact that the toilet ran all night. i had to shut it off. Hope she will let us return there next time we go back.

    We enjoyed the hotel and location very much. It's a beautiful hotel in a great location. I only have 2 suggestions for improvement. 1) To plow the parking lot after bad weather. It became very messy. 2) Improve the quality and price of food in the restaurant -- it was good but not worth the price. Overall we had an excellent experience and would love […] to stay there again.
