Wow, my stay was absolutely amazing! I discovered a hidden gem, and the staff was beyond amazing. The check-in process was a breeze, and my room was perfect - complete with a full kitchen and separate bedroom. The pool was warm and refreshing, and the hot tub jets were exactly what I needed after a long day of traveling. If you ever find yourself in Ames, IA, I highly recommend this place!"

Our experience at this property was outstanding. The staff was friendly and the hotel was very clean :) I did give a 4 star on property condition because the hot tub was out of service. I understand this was out of their control but was really looking forward to soaking in hot tub this weekend. Other than that everything was great
