I have been staying at the Gateway since my college days in the 1970s. It is always my first choice of accommodations when visiting Ames. The staff is super professional, the rooms are great, and the amenities are wonderful. It is close to campus and beautifully maintained. Can’t recommend enough!!

Stayed September 25–27, 2026 in an Executive King room. The room was comfortable and the location was convenient — right at Iowa State University in Ames. Everything matched the booking, and I'd stay here again.

The hotel itself was clean and very nice. The room had a musty smell as soon as you walked in. There weren’t enough outlets especially by the beds to plug anything in. You get a voucher for breakfast for 1 person regardless of the number staying in your room. It was a perfect location for a visit to Iowa State.
