The room was clean and comfortable, but the bathroom was in need of an upgrade. The shower head was too low, the counter too small, and the tub was worn, pitted, and looked dirty. The staff was lovely and very helpful.

I would stay here again but I am very low maintenance. It was clean and quite the bed was fine, but the base of the bed was tin and made noise. The TV wasn't hooked up so I had to figure that out and one of the bedside lights and outlets didn't work. The waffle at breakfast was really good but the bagels only flavor had raisons.

Very clean! Hotel has been updated & every thing is very nice & fresh. Hotel staff was very accommodating when the TV, refrigerator & microwave wouldn’t work. Someone had removed the adapter. The staff immediately moved us to another room across the hall. The usual breakfast which was as good as any. No charge for our dog. Will definitely stay there again

Aging facility and the bathrooms were very average... no hair dryer. Limited breakfast. Friendly staff to welcome you but you have to ring a bell to have someone come out and help you. That is a trend that needs to stop.

Adequate in Ames

The Super 8 in Ames was OK, except that I saw a small spider in the bathroom (not moving while I looked at it, but later I saw that it had moved into a corner.) Otherwise, the room was comfortable enough. The breakfast options were nice.

Bed was comfortable, decor was beautiful. Great customer service however there was dust built up on the lamps and behind the doors. Mold was growing above the shower

There was no one at the reception desk when I arrived. Two other people were waiting and said they had tried the phone number posted and had been there several minutes already. The room itself was very dark. The light bulbs were low wattage and there weren't many of them. The floor I was on was the lower floor, half a flight down from the street level. The tub in the bathroom was in poor shape.

Hallways were very dark. Access was limited for handicapped people (walking down ramp was awkward and took time.) Bathroom fixtures were very small and low. Rooms were clean. Breakfast and coffee were good.
