Everyone was very nice and helpful. Very quiet and convenient to freeways. The only thing I would say could have been better is the cleanliness of the room I stayed in. Bathroom door looked like frosting finger marks from little ones as well as on the window. Also the bathtub had that pinkish/red fungus in a couple spots.

There was no hand soap. When we asked, we were told that they didn’t get their shipment in. To me, that is unacceptable. The breakfast options were limited and the juice was served in bottles and there was no more when we came down at 8 am.

We were just passing through, so didn’t stay long. Service was friendly and everything was in good order. The room was super noisy. We had to unplug the fridge and there was still a lot of noise from heater? Each of us to wait for hot breakfast food.

ISU Graduation stay in Ames
The hotel is clean and the personnel is very cordial and warm. Especially Lisa from the kitchen ; she goes beyond her duty to give a special service to the guests . Our only dissatisfaction was the night when we arrived with the thermostat of the room , it was broken and the night was chilly. Nevertheless, as soon we informed the situation , we got another room in perfect conditions.

Please don’t stay here
I typically do not leave negative reviews but this hotel is horrible. The first room had disgusting black hairs and yellow stains all over the beds. The lady at the front desk was nice enough and said we can either change the sheets or change rooms..we changed rooms. The second room did not have black hairs in the bed but had them all over the bathroom floor. The walls were filthy, the carpet was disgusting, there was soda or something else splashed on the wall and just left to dry, the pool was ice cold, there was bugs all in the lobby, and the bed was extremely warn out. I am disappointed Marriott is allowing these owners to use their name.
