"little trouble checking in"
Couldn't check in until after 5PM and then couldn't get the type of room I requested when making the reservation. Staff was helpful as they could be but obviously reservations need a little help.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very comfortable nights stay, morning breakfast was hella delicious. Very good location I thought, Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Ames Iowa.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel"
We have stayed in this hotel several times. It is clean and convenient. We will stay here again!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Avoid Room 108"
This a standard Hilton Garden and meets the level of quality that you would expect at any of them. However, specifically avoid rooms around 107-110 as they are directly across from the ice machine and fitness/pool area, which means higher traffic, kids and the ice machine dumping ice. It can get a little loud.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel, housekeeping forgot us."
The overall hotel stay was very nice. My husband and I, alumni of ISU, came with some friends for a football game. We were relatively close to the campus and field, which was nice. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were nice as well. The only downside is that somehow in our 2-night stay we never had housekeeping come and take out the trash, […] make-up the beds, change towels, etc. Kind of expected and kind of disappointing for a hotel that was nice otherwise. Also, the bar didn't open until 5, which for vacationing adults visiting their old college was a bit of a disappointment. However, a convenience store is right next door with plenty of other options.

"Nice stay but priced a bit high"
We've stayed here a couple of times. The restaurant service and food were much better this time. Very nice hotel. Only thing I'd change is the price. Seems a bit high priced relative to other hotels in Ames.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Four-Night Stay"
Good place to stay in Ames. Nice rooms excellent staff well-maintained facility with a good location on the west side of town near ISU.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good for business travelers"
The location of the hotel is good and it's probably the newest hotel in the area. The staff was very friendly. They have a nice little restaurant and bar on the first floor. I had breakfast there one morning and it was good. The rooms are very spacious and they provide two TV's (one in the bedroom and one in the living room. There were some cleanliness […] issues. The pillows on the sofa were dirty, some of the towels had stains, the caulking around the tub wasn't very clean, etc. Also, the bed is like a rock - very uncomfortable. However, if you're just in town for a couple of days, it's not bad. The staff is very friendly and the public areas of the hotel are kept pretty clean. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A nice place for the weekend"
The staff was very freeindly at checking and anytime was passed through the lobby. Even offered cookies and bottled water.The hotel is on the west end of Ames where there isn't a lot going on, but it is just off the highway and still close to campus. Not a lot of places to eat nearby, but Ames isn't that big.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Friendly Staff, Beautiful rooms."
I was rudely awakened by the neighboring room at 7am, i'm sure you can imagine why. The walls were way built way too thin! Otherwise it was an enjoyable stay, the lounge was nice and so was the staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"safe luggage"
My group arrived six hours early to the 3pm check in time. The hostes kindly let us keep our luggage in their back room while we were at an all day event.Genuine Expedia guest review
There were potato chips in the chair in the room - so made me wonder what else was not clean. Only 1 bar of soap - so we had to share it with the shower. One day they did not give us a bath mat either. We booked this a long time ago for a king bed, they did not have one when we arrivedGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was pretty nice but when we got to our room there was left over food from the last guests in our fridge. I think the cost was way too much considering our room wasn't clean and it doesn't come with breakfast. We paid for the breakfast and there wasn't hardly anything out. I wont be going backGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"would stay again"
I stayed 4 nights and would stay there again. Bathroom could use updating but it wasn't too bad. Air/heat was very loud.Genuine Expedia guest review

"An okay stay... I'll give it another chance"
Hotel was really noisy with kids above us that we could hear jumping for hours followed by young teenage girls that were in the hallways yelling until all hours of the night. The hotel management can't really control this, but ti proved that the doors were not well sealed to hallway noises and the floors reminded me of a Super 8. The night before the […] kids all arrived we had a good night sleep. So, overall, I would stay at this hotel again, but I would definitely request the top floor - 3rd to alleviate the possible nose through the floor above you. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable and clean"
I stayed four nights, and the room and beds were comfortable and clean. Internet access was appreciated. I only had two minor annoyances - on the first night I noticed the shower drain wasn't draining very quickly, so I mentioned it to the front desk and they assured me they would have maintenance look at it. It never got looked at. The second thing […] is I had the "Do not disturb" sign on the door one morning so I could sleep in a little, but I left the room before noon and removed the sign then. I was disappointed to return to my room that evening and find that it never got made up in the afternoon. Maybe I should have requested it when I left.. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ames Hilton Garden Inn"
Hotel is very nice overall and fairly new. Only problem we had was that the bathrooms had a bad, mildew smell when we arrived. We complained and they had someone come up right away but it still smelled bad after the second cleaning. Nothing a little bleach wouldn't cure but oh well. We didn't eat there because the food was a little too expensive. But […] it's a nice place overall and we would stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice stay in Ames"
The hotel was very nice and clean. Front desk was helpful. Breakfast service was a little slow and seemd a litttle disorganized. Why no fans in bathrooms?Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Friendly staff"
The highway is under going a renovation starting at 6 a.m. It was quite noisy to wake up to. Overall this is a very nice place to stay for the money, and the staff is extremely pleasant. Would recommend asking for a room toward the front of the hotel, and not one next to the highway.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hilton Garden in Ames, Ia"
We find the Hilton Garden a very comfortable stay and easy access from the interstate. The rooms are clean and up to date in decor. There is a nice workout facility and indoor pool and jacuzzi. These are important items when visiting during the winter months!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convenience"
For the most part this hotel was accomodating for our trip. We were going to a tournament at the Ames Ice Arena. This hotel was a perfect location for that. The only problem that I had was with the temperature of the room. Either the heater was blowing hot air and the room was roasting or if you turned the heat down a degree then it started blowing […] super cold air and you'd be freezing in a matter of minutes. Ended up shutting the thing off and only turning the heat on for a few minutes at a time. One of the elevators was broken for a short time. One of our players was stuck on there for about five minutes. The hotel did have someone out that evening to fix it. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great beds and close to campus expensive breakfast"
The hotel was very comfortable especially with the temporpedic beds. It was minutes from Iowa State and most of Ames. The only negative was that they made you pay $11 for breakfast if you wanted anything hot. They did offer pastries and other breads for $3, but still, kind of a rip off.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No breakfast!"
I would prefer accommodations where breakfast was included, even a continental one.Genuine Expedia guest review
I wish that they had a free breakfast, It is kind of an expensive hotel not have amenities like that.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Can't wait to go back"
It was the second time to stay at Holiday Garden Inn Ames. I did not stay at other hotels, so I can't compare it with others. but I satisfied everything of it.Genuine Expedia guest review
