"Good Place In Ames"
Fantastic stay, I booked last minute, and the staff was more than helpful. Thanks for everything.Genuine Expedia guest review
Pleasantly surprised to find a clean, comfortable, non-smelly room at a great price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place for a great rate!"
This was a great stay. Compared to surrounding hotels and motels, this had the best reviews in its rate class so I gave it a try. I was not disappointed! My father was the one who actually stayed and he is beyond his "stay-anywhere-as-long-as-it's-cheap" days. He was very happy with this hotel and so was I! It was clean and had friendly service when […] we arrived. I had called the hotel to check availability and they were going to charge more than Hotels.com offered so I booked it on here. Definitely recommend doing that! The only complaint is that the room coffee is terrible -- but that's a common theme at hotels! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Worth the money."
The price was very good which attracted us. Came in late and the late-day desk staff, Jessica was outstanding! The motel was quiet, which I like. A nice flat screen tv in our room. Breakfast fare was good -- but avoid the donuts unless you are looking for rocks to skip across the water. The only downside of the motel was its location -- away from everything. […] Nothing in walking distance, no convenience store, restaurant, bar, or store. So if you stay there, be prepared to stay right there or drive a distance to any support retail store. If the price were any higher we would have stayed some where else where location was more convenient. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great room, great price, great service"
Impacted by weather, wasn't sure we would get there but Econo Lodge said no problem, they would still cancel late, no charge. Did arrive very late. Guest clerk offered 2nd floor room "a little newer" if we didn't mine the steps. Firm bed (we like it that way). Clean room. Heater fan a little noisy, but didn't leave it on. Slept in next morning and missed […] breakfast. Workers said "come on in - still some donuts, bisquits and gravey coffee and juice available. Can't say enough good and the rate was the lowest around. Thank you. We will stay there again for sure. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Clean, comfortable place to stay in Ames"
A good economical choice for a hotel in Ames. Comfortable beds/pillow and updated & clean bathroom are the key features for me. Basic amenities only, but a breakfast that will get the kids going and save a few bucks as well.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Comfortble and inexpensive motel in Ames, Iowa"

""Great hotel at a great price""
My daughter is at student at Iowa State University, so I am becoming a frequent visitor to Ames. I have stayed t four different hotels the four times I have been to visit. This hotel is the best so far as far as price and quality. Everything was either new or remodeled. The room had everything I needed- nothing more, but everything necessary. The morning […] breakfast was very good- again, nothing fancy, but just fine. The beds were very comfortable. The front desk was friendly and helpful. I have stayed at two other motels on the same street, and the Econolodge was the best deal for the money in my opinion. I recommend it to anyone on a budget- it's very clean and has everything you need. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Econolodge Ames, IA"
Convenient location, right off of interstate. Limited selection of restaurants in immediate area; you have to go into town for more variety. Very clean rooms. I also appreciate that the walkways/spaces between buildings are now enclosed so you can go between without going outside. Nicely done, too. Breakfast was ok, but too starchy. Would recommend […] more protein rich foods and fruits. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value for a budget priced hotel."
This was a nice clean (!) hotel to stay for a night on the road. The breakfast was hot and plentiful-we didn't go down until almost 9 and there was still enough and we didn't feel like we were eating the leftovers. So often, complimentary breakfasts are sparse or they run out. There were biscuits and gravy, waffle iron/batter, or cereal and donuts. […] The towels and sheets were surprisingly good quality for the price of the hotel. Pillows were small, but overall we were very happy with the value we received. All hotel employees we encountered spoke English too. The room was so cool upon arrival that we actually turned the AC down a bit. There is no elevator which might be an issue for some if you stay on the second floor. I would definitely recommend the Econolodge in Ames if you need a nice, clean bed and shower and are not into the decor. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"ames iowa hotel"
we had stayed at this motel previously under another name and now that econo lodge has bought it is much better. the staff was very friendly and helpful at both check-in and check-out. the breakfast has make your own waffles which totally rocked! the beds were very comfortable and even though our room was located close to the breakfast space we didn't […] hear a thing until we left our room in the morning. a great place to stay for the money!

"Great Hotel Service"
Econo lodge was very comfortable, it wasnt huge but it was far from small. The pool was about 10x20 and was the perfect temperature. The service was probaly one of the best ive had in awhile, i cant remember a single thing they werent willing to do for us including giving us directions to different places in ames. I would highly recommend this hotel […] to a couple looking just an overnight stay somewhere Econo Lodge will surely be a good decision for you. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
