    I stayed at this hotel mainly for price and location. It was a good hotel for what I needed it for (I had an interview at Iowa State University). All the main necessities (iron/ironing board, blowdryer, microwave and refrigerator) were in good condition and were clean. The bathroom was clean and house keeping did their job: cleaned and replenished the […] room and bathroom. Desk staff was informative and friendly. Overall I am happy that I stayed at the Days Inn in Ames. Read more

    Hotel manager tried to break into one of our rooms at 2:30am, but thankfully we had the deadbolt in. When asked why, he did not give a reasonable answer. Manager also was unreasonably furious when we tried to point out that the price we had prepaid was given by hotels.com and we had already paid in full, when he charged is extra for every person in […] the room. Stay away. Read more

    The beds were not very comfortable. The bedspreads hung way over the beds. They were not made very well. We have to be in Ames again soon and I wont stay at this Days Inn.

    We were looking for a hotel near the Iowa State campus, and this hotel was conveniently located. The room was affordable and clean, but very cramped. To their credit, they seemed to be in the middle of some renovations (as witnessed by a great deal of furniture in the hallways), but the room as extremely small and cramped. The staff was not overly […] friendly when we checked in, but they were also not rude. The complimentary breakfast was quite limited, and they were closing everything down a little early, but the manager stepped in to replenish a few of the items specifically for us, which was very kind of him. While I would not highly recommend this hotel, I would not discourage people from staying there, as it was acceptable. Read more

    I listed special instructions, such as I wanted a room by 11:00 AM and I wanted a hot tub, and when I got there, no one knew about these special request. And if they did know they made no attempt to contact me to let me know they could not accommodate me. Finally after I agreed to pay an additional $25.00, then they could find an available room.
