Top Nelson Park Hotel Reviews

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff are fantastic and helpful."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Love that it has an inside pool, hot tub, and laundry!!! The workout room has a good set of weights but needs an elliptical machine and recumbent bike. Hated to hear the hotel sold to lashings and couldn't compete with well known brands. Will stay again."

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very quiet setting. Very comfortable, I only wish that I could have understood the lady at the front desk better but she was very nice and I wish there was a protein of some sort on the breakfast bar but overall I would definitely stay there again. I also wish they were a bit more Pet friendly but there was plenty of walking space."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel however the breakfast has a very limited option. I also didn't like the smell in my room but that's just me. Overall it was ok."

Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"For a quick stay in Ames it's perfect. I was concerned initially because of the ratings, but gave it a chance anyway. The staff I came in contact with were welcoming and helpful! The front desk gentleman was very attentive and friendly! There was a lady that worked the breakfast stations (I didn't catch her name) she was absolutely wonderful, personable and sweet. The rooms were very simple (not fancy), but clean (and I look at everything!!!) As a single female traveler I felt very safe there. The breakfast was great! Lots of choices available! I would definitely stay again."

Best Western Premier Des Moines-Ankeny Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, staff was friendly, and they had many options for breakfast. This hotel was close to shopping, restaurants, and a quick drive to Ames or Des Moines. We will stay here again!"

Wyndham Garden Ankeny/Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Very pleased by the amenities in the room. Breakfast was great especially connected to the onsite restaurant"
