    Quiet location, away from traffic and noise and easy access to interstate. Small but very workable workout room, could use a large fan for air circulation. Inexpensive breakfast but healthy. Staff very helpful and attentive to your request. Freshly baked cookies was a nice treat though they didn't last long.

    The hotel was really great. The only problem was a non-working exhaust fan but that was no big deal. It has adjustable beds and the pool and hot tub were great. The breakfast buffet isn't a bad deal at 10 dollars for all you can eat. I would stay again when I am headed that way.

    We had a nice stay here. The only thing that bugged me, was that when I checked in the clerk said, "have a great stay". And then, I walked thru with my bags & such three times, she said the same thing to me. This place has a good breakfast buffet with a nice variety, or you could have breakfast made to order.

    Mattress was a little too hard for me, but everything else was great. We got back from our event late Sunday morning and the staff were cleaning up the breakfast buffet- the coffee was all gone. The waitress kindly offered to make a fresh pot. The coffee is great. Very pleasant stay.

    I asked for a handicapped room and did not have one when I arrived, but they changed it and got me one, with little quibbling, and they were very kind about it. When I got to the room, there were no hand towels or any of the shampoo and soap that is usually in rooms. I know it should have been there, as there was a little rack for it. I went downstairs […] to the desk and told them about it and was given shampoo and whatever else I needed with no problem, and a very heartfelt apology. It is a gorgeous hotel, and when you have problems walking, the beds they have there, that can be adjusted to be harder or softer are a dream come true. This is by far the best hotel I have stayed in at Ames, and since I have a child at Iowa State, I have stayed in a LOT of hotels there. I will never stay in another hotel but this one. The four was only because the stuff was missing, and I have a feeling it was just an oversight. They were more then kind about getting new stuff to me, and I HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Read more

    The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We stayed here for a girl's night out, but once we got to the hotel, turned it into a girl's night in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and the bathroom was very clean. My only two complaints would be the bed was very firm and I was not aware that […] it could be adjusted and there was no continental breakfast included with the rate. Other hotels at this price point offer at least something for breakfast for free. Having said that, I would still recommend this hotel and would stay there again while in town. Read more

    My nephew runs for the University of Missouri Columbia and I have been to Ames for track meets several times. The Hilton Garden Inn is always the choice for my stay in Ames. The decor is elegant, serene and relaxing. We were served fresh hot cookies in front of the fire place and took advantage of the 2 for 1 happy hour. Our room is cozy and I'm especially […] fond of the pillows on the beds. "Do you sell those." On a scale of one to ten I give the Hilton Garden Inn Ames Iowa a 10.

    Our daughter's team traveled to Ames, IA for a basketball tournament. The staff was very well organized in laying down the rules for the girls regarding running in the halls, food, etc. There were no issues the entire weekend - it was great. Most of the staff was very out-going and helpful, except for the chef who patroled the pool area and hallways […] enforcing every rule on parents and players alike. Additionally, I had booked on-line and the hotel was having issues with breakfast purchased on-line. But they stood behind it and comped my meals anyway - despite being able to see those records on-line. This area was close enough to campus and also convenient for highway access. If we had another tournament in Ames, we'd stay there in a heartbeat. Read more

    This hotel is only 2 years old so condition is excellent. Close to Iowa State University campus. We did request a non-smoking room and upon our arrival were given a smoking room (smelled of stale cigarette smoke). Staff immediately found a new room for us. I am surprised that the entire hotel does not prohibit smoking. Beds are the most comfortable […] I have experienced in a hotel. Although breakfast is an additional cost, I highly recommend the made-to-order option. Sports bar next door is not the best and I would not recommend eating there. Best hotel we have found in Ames.

    We were in town for college move-in day, and our room suited us fine after all the hard labor of moving. The room was fresh, nothing out of place, and was all we could ask for during our two night stay. The bonus was that a nation wide Buick show was in town, and it entertained us looking at classic iron all weekend.
