4/10 Fair

No working shower
The sheets on one of the beds had a brown stain. And when we woke up in the morning we found out our bathroom had no running water in the shower. Waited 20 min to find out they had no maintenance person to fix the issue so we had to get keys to another room to shower.

10/10 Exceptional

Pros: best breakfast options we’ve ever had at a hotel, clean pool, great pillows, clean rooms, friendly staff, quiet hallways, lighted parking lot, easy access into Ames. Cons: really pricey to stay, not the most comfortable mattresses, loud pool area, and prepare yourself that people in the dining area can watch you swim through windows adjoining the two rooms Overall: great for our family of 5, but I didn’t realize the steep price when I booked. (My oversight. It was over $500 for only 2 nights. From prior stays in the area, I’ve been at comparable places for $150-$200 less.). We would definitely return when we visit family, but the price will have us going elsewhere. The staff was excellent though.
