We stopped here for one night traveling through Iowa back home. Easy access right off 35 and right next to gas station. Super clean and nice facilities. Small pool, but clean. Great breakfast options. Comfy beds. Ames was a nice town with lots of food options. Would definitely stay here again!

No flexibility - good breakfast
Staff providing the breakfast was friendly and attentive to guest's needs. We had a change in the number of our guests 24 hours before arrival and the hotel would not accommodate our request to adjust to 1 room instead of 2. I would encourage you to re-consider with future guests needing this accommodation.
