It was a decent hotel room for the price we paid, the man at the front desk was very nice and helped us in many ways. However the first morning we woke uo our air conditioner in our room was leaking and our floor was wet, someone elses room who was in our party the air didnt work. However the staff switched room immediately and was very nice and did it no questions asked the lobby was very warm. It did have a good breakfast and the pool looked like it had a film on top however other people were swimming so it could have been just a personal preference on my behalf

We have stayed at this hotel for several years. We stayed on 2/8/25, and they have renovated almost everything:new flooring, new curtains, TVs, and some furniture. We love the pool area...nice hot tub. The people are always nice.

Overall everything was very clean and comfortable! Only thing that wasn’t that great was the pool temperature was on the cold side. But that was minor compared to a nice hot tub, room, and delicious breakfast.

Located just off the freeway, convenient for our road trip. Looking forward to the hot tub that was advertised, under maintenance. (This should be disclosed when making a reservation.) Our room was very nice - updated and clean.

This is an older facility but has been well maintained and remodeled to update both the look and the feel. Adding electrical outlets/USB charging to the bedside clock and on the desk would bring it even more up to date. The pool and hot tub are wonderful!

Marginally ok for a cheap motel. However, my room was not cleaned/serviced during the three days I stayed at the motel. There are 6-8 other hotels in the same area that are newer and better appointed. I will stay elsewhere on my next trip to Ames.

This is an older hotel that needs some updating to the 21st century. It's a 2 story building with no elevators, so a 2nd floor room means hauling baggage up and down stairs. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the standard amenities. Breakfast was pretty meager. Everyone we met on staff was very friendly and helpful. OK for a bargain priced hotel.

My husband and I drove to Iowa, from Texas, for a family reunion of sorts. We had never stayed at an AmericInn before. However, we WILL be staying at this location again in the future! The staff were super friendly and helpful and our room was very clean and tidy. We loved the room darkening curtains, big screen TV and mini fridge! Oh, AND, the water pressure in the shower was AMAZING! Seriously, y'all - it was great and even better than what we have at home. LOL! The hot breakfast every morning was great, too - with lots of options to choose from. This AmericInn offers wonderful amenities for a great value! Most of us are on a tight budget these days and this place met all of our needs and more! We will now recommend this AmericInn to everyone we know. Sincerely, Very happy and satisfied customers!

For the price this place was well worth it. Just an overnight stay so we didn’t get to use the pool but it was quite nice. Hot breakfast was very adequate and much better than the typical continental breakfast at other hotels. The Staff were so nice & helpful. No elevator to go to the second level but the staff helped carry our bags to our room. Very considerate. I would stay here again.

Stopped in Ames overnight while on longer trip. Hotel is conviently right off of I-35, about two miles from ISU campus. Loads of restaurants and shopping within a couple of miles. Owner checked us in and was very nice. Hotel is clean. Very basic facilities, good value for the money if you are just looking to crash overnight and don’t need anything fancy. Bathrooms are getting close to needing a renovation.

The stay was great. The pool was the highlight for our stay. Breakfast was pretty average. One thing that disappointed me was that I was told I had to pay extra due to having 3 children in one room. It was one single adult and 3 children, the website said that each room held 5 people so I wasn’t exactly sure why I was being charged more.

We like AmericInns for the breakfasts and they are overall decent hotels. We've stayed at this one before so knew it was ok. But the bad thing this trip was it is undergoing renovations in the lobby/breakfast area, so the breakfast was not up to snuff. The juice machine is in the area that is not currently accessible, so there was no juice. The food options were more limited than normal, though they did have scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy. So not terrible, just not what it is normally. And because of the work being done the area is a bit of a mess. But it should be much nicer when it's done. It is an older hotel so it can use the facelift. The room was fine, comfortable bed, and I like the separate sink from the toilet/shower. Plus their fridge is bigger than most and has a freezer, something we appreciate as we are often traveling with a cooler with ice packs. Our main complaint is there was no communication about the renovations going on and the affect on the breakfast.

I didn't mind the property, I'm not picky. It didn't have need bugs and it was reasonably quiet. Just the people in the room next door were loud enough. The breakfast had scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy that a lot don't have. They didn't have any fruit, however. But, everything else was fine.

Overall a good experience, parking lot well lit, friendly front desk, room temp was good. The biggest downfall was floor in the lobby was being replaced, so there was construction going on. I don't know if that can be posted within the app or not, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. This cramped the breakfast area and the selection wasn’t what it normally is at other Americinn hotels we've stayed at.
