The room layout is very warm, the breakfast is delicious, the surrounding environment is elegant, the quietness of Ames is experienced, and the traffic is very convenient. It is nearly ten minutes walk from Iowa State University.

Guest UserAs Iowa State alumni, the building made us feel like we were on campus. For an affordable rate, we enjoyed our stay more than the average hotel at a similar price point.
This hotel offers a pool, hot tub and jacuzzi. Even though the facilities seemed a bit dated, we felt they were clean and enjoyed them greatly.
The room was not so exciting but it seemed clean. I appreciated the lighting, including dimmers for night lights in the bedroom and bathroom.
We tried the IowaStater in-house restaurant for breakfast. If you’re looking for a Midwest breakfast with all of the staples, they served us a memorable omelet with some of the best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had.
All of the staff we met were kind and helpful.
I highly recommend this hotel if you want to be close to campus.
