"Disappointed"
I try to stay away from the discount side of the motel/hotel world but on this trip I had no choice. We were in Ames for graduation and had tried to make reservations before Christmas. Alas there were only the most expensive hotels and cheapest motels with any vacancies. So... I went cheap, a big mistake. But to my defense all the prices were almost […] double because of it being graduation weekend and most of them had requirements of a 2 day stay. This motel was smelled like mildew and cigarettes. The carpets were so dirty that when I walked around in my white athletic socks for awhile it turned them black. I was disgusted. Needless to say I did not walk in the room barefooted. The shower was hot but the water pressure was so low it was very difficult to rinse off. The toilet would not stop running. The curtains would not close. The HVAC was either all the way on or off. The breakfast was gross. Stale, tasteless, and unappetizing. I will never stay in a bargain motel again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Response by Super 8 Ames We appreciate the fact that you took time to write a review. We are working to always improve our hotel and we are sincerely sorry that your stay was anything less than satisfactory.
"Many issues"
The 2 pillows in our room were flat as pancakes and when I asked for more they told me that they didn't have any extras. The bed was uncomfortable. The chair on the other hand was comfy and the bathroom was large which was nice but the shower head was to low and there were holes in the wall in the bathroom also. I will not stay there againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Room appeared clean until we pulled back the sheets and saw something smeared on the box springs. Sheets appeared clean but stained as well as towels. Loud pounding noise at 5 in the morning. Asked front desk and they said nothing even though police were there earlier because of the disturbance. Breakfast was scant but area was clean. Overall appearance […] was ok.

"Do NOT stay here!"
I would strongly urge you to NOT stay at this hotel. It is located in very close proximity to several other hotels that would be a much better choice. It is extremely outdated and the cleanliness of the room is sketchy at best. There are virtually no amenities at this hotel, but if you're in a bind and simply need a bed to sleep in--it will do the trick. […] I was on a pretty tight budget when I stayed there and booked the room through Hotels.com. Upon arrival, in spite of the fact that I had already paid Hotels.com via phone, I was charged AGAIN by the Super 8. I am STILL waiting for this to be remedied.

"Would not recommend"
The hotel smelled of old cigerette smoke. The bed was so uncomfortable and only 2 pillows on the queen bed and they were as flat as a pancake. Would not recommend this hotel and will not plan to stay there again. Also no wifi. It is 2013 every hotel has wifi.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great stay.in All areas"
Chad the Manager was awesome. The whole experience was a #5. II will go back in the next four months. On my trip I tried to stay at a number of Super 8 hotels but their prices were higher then the Ames Hotel.and Expedia. I should have called Expedia back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel!!"
I would definitely recommend this hotel!!!! The room was very clean and roomy. Hotel staff was friendly. Location was good, right off Hwy 30 and I 35. I plan on using this hotel for future travel to Iowa.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"False rate"
I was not please with the rate of this hotel being 3.5 more like a 2.0. I felt I pd for 3.5 and got a 2.0 rate.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was ok"
The breakfast was lacking. I know that a "continental" breakfast is sparse and this breakfast was really sparse.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Won't Return"
Overall experience was not good. Rooms were below average in every way. I will be staying somewhere else next time I visit Ames.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good experience"
The staff was accommidating and professional. Brought up clothes iron right away after requesting it. Room was in good condition and clean on arrival, and everything was reset perfectly when room cleaned. Only downside was the simple breakfast in the morning, but I never planned on eating at the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Needed a cheap hotel - that's what I got."
I needed a cheap place to sleep for one night. The hotel fit the bill for that. It was cheap, and I slept. That being said, I would never recommend this hotel for a vacation or any occasion where you're looking for more than simple, cheap convenience. The first room they sent me to hadn't been cleaned when I checked in at 10:00 PM. The man at the front […] desk didn't seem too surprised. The beds weren't very comfortable, and there was a lot of noise coming from the hallway. The window air conditioning unit was very loud. I guess I got what I paid for.

There was a football team staying at the same time we were. They were up very early Saturday morning and were very loud!! i had requested a refrigerator and didn't get one. The was a burn mark on the blanket of our bed also. We won't be staying here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Smoke smelly roomGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap cost, cheap hotel"
Nothing really bad about the stay, but I paid a very low price and got an older, no frill hotel room. Had an old smell and feel, but nothing horrible. And it was cheapGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Won't stay again"
The TV only got about 6 channels even though there was a list of over 30 on the desk. We stayed 2 nights and the bathroom was not cleaned. Dirty towels were left and the floor and tub were not cleaned. Our room was near the back entrance so when we returned at midnight we assumed we would need to use our key card. Nope, the door was unlocked! I know […] it is an inexpensive hotel, but there are others in the same price range that I have stayed in with better satisfaction. Even my husband thought the guy at the reception desk was creepy. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Wasn't the cleanest"
We stayed here after getting our daughter settled into college life at ISU. The room felt old and dirty. The price was ok, but didn't really meet my expectations.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Should be $40 per night."
We had a 1st floor room and it smelled damp and musty. No fridge. No microwave. However pets are allowed, and we had our two small dogs with us.Genuine Expedia guest review
The room had bad smellGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall, terrible place. Won't stay there again."
Customer service was non-existent, room stunk like urine, hair dryer got broke and front desk never did anything about it. We checked out day before as we couldn't stand the smell.Genuine Expedia guest review
"smelled like the inside of a poop filled gym sock."
I thought the smell was bad when I first started walking down the hall, but the smell in the room was enough to make me stager back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Let there be light"
One of electrical outlets off and it was fixed next day (we had a two day stay)--apparently some one then put a do not disturb sign on the door so room not cleaned--soap was also in short supplyGenuine Expedia guest review

"Air Comditioner pumps out odor."
First room smelled. We switched rooms. Too bad we didn't figure out it was the air conditioner pumping in the smell untill the morning when we where getting our bags together. The tiolet didn't flush well. I think we were the only people staying just the night. The others in the hotel had been "living" there for a while and very comfy there. They were […] very noisey.

"Nastiest place I have ever been to!!"
I had 2 nights booked. Went there the first night and had to leave after 2 hours. The room was dirty, all the guests at the hotel were sketchy, had there laundry hanging outside on the fence. Bad, Bad, Bad, do not stay there, there are plenty of other nicer hotels in that area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Will spend a few bucks more for a better sleep"
Smoke free room, but I could still detect smoke scents. The toilet seat was very loose (I fixed that myself). The bed wasn't very comfortable at all. Hardly any stuffing in the pillows. The room was very basic, but seemed to be cleanGenuine Expedia guest review
"smelly"
The room smelled of pet urine. The staff was very helpful though & relocated us to another hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review

"What you expect for the money"
The shower head was pretty low. We are a family about 6' tall and had to bend over to wash our hair. The carpet had a tackiness to it that just felt dirty. It is an older building and the wireless internet in the room was sort of slow. We were on a budget so we get what we pay for, and I would probably stay here again if it was the cheapest option. […] Our room had a refridgerator and microwave which was a plus. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Worth it if you have a discount..."
I used Expedia to find the cheapest room I could. We were visiting Ames for VEISHEA and we wanted to save funds. This one was by far the cheapest, and we could see why. The breakfast area was clean, but small. The desk clerks were nice enough, but they were a little strange. We found ourselves wishing we had brought pillows, as these were very rigid […] and not very comfortable. All the amenities worked well and seemed to be kept up. We did get a pushy call from the desk around our check-out time, making us feel rushed. All in all, not a horrible stay. The hotel is located in a developing area of Ames, making the traffic less congested, but only about a mile away from many restaurants and shopping areas. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
