The bad: Bed was hard and showerhead choices seemed to be light spray or hard, no good in between for rinsing long hair. The good: nice mini kitchen full of dishes, cups and silverware.i made a cup of hot chocolate in an actual mug before bed. Breakfast was pretty good. Even took a muffin for the road and it was really good/moist. The hot tub was small but hit the spot after walking all day. The staff was very friendly and helpful...5 stars on the staff.

This was the 2nd time we stayed here. First time was to drop our son off at ISU and this time was to attend his graduation. The place was easy to find, clean, we felt safe. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good..something to start your day. I will say that the coffee for breakfast was good compared to other places we have stayed. Hubby and I used the fitness room everyday and was able to get a decent workout. The laundry was clean and I believe the washers are newer ones because last time they had a smell. The only downside was that the ac in the room was very loud when it was on and when the shower is on, the water still runs from the faucet below which in my opinion is a waste of water.Otherwise I would stay here again if I was returning to Ames.

We enjoyed staying here which was conveniently located near the highway (but far enough so you don't hear the noise), restaurants, and the town. The rooms were nice and clean which included a full fridge, microwave, small stove, dishwasher, coffee pot and kitchen supplies. The bed was firm, and pillows were great (at least to us). There was plenty of room to spread out to put your clothes / things in closet. Only thing that they didn't have is a room safe which would've been nice to have. Breakfast was wonderful with the selection of different items from eggs / omelets / hard boiled eggs, sausage / bacon, pancakes / French toast or make it yourself waffles. Every day had different options. They also had the usual like oatmeal, cereal, assorted yogurts / breads / pastries / muffins, fresh fruits, juices / milk, coffee / tea. It was nice to have the microwave and toaster in the room so that I could reheat or toast my bread. We enjoyed using the indoor jacuzzi and the fitness center. Overall, this hotel is nice, and we wouldn't mind staying here again in the near future.

Our stay at the Towne Place suites was great. The rooms have been updated, there was some wear and tear around the bottom of the furniture but I am sure that is just from customers and cleaning. We stayed in a two bedroom and found it very spacious. We will consider it again next time we are in town visiting my college kid.

The hotel was very clean and modern. The room had a full kitchen, which we weren't expecting. The staff was professional and those with less experience were being supervised and trained. The breakfast was OK... I've had better and I've had worse, but no complaints. The coffee was very good. The special request I made at the time of reservation, for two extra pillows, was not executed but, in the end, I didn't mind. I would stay here again.

Breakfast was not as good as what we get in other hotels. The hockey puck eggs were not good and we saw something that might have been sausage, but didn’t try it. Could have just been a bad day for someone.

The elevator didn’t work (and had a sign), but it would travel to the floor, preventing the working elevator from coming up. That was frustrating.

The place wasn’t full, but they put us next to an occupied room. So instead of a really quiet night, we got to enjoy someone else coming and going all the time.

Loved the fact that there was a tub.

Not a bad experience, but it could have been better.

We stopped on our way heading south. It was a nice room. Had plenty of space to spread after a long day in the car. Did not use any of the facilities, but they were available. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection for you. Their coffee kinda sucks. I like cleanliness and this place passes my test. I would stay here again.

Nice, clean hotel, very friendly & welcoming staff. Beds weren't overly comfortable. Would've been nice to know that it was under construction, I believe that should be disclosed when booking. I think it was a high demand weekend & prices were high.

Hotel was in very good condition. We were in town for the Boone Supernationals, which run late into the night, and we would not normally leave for the day until 1pm. Only complaint was that we did not get houskeeping services for the entire 6 days we were there. The one day I asked if we could get clean sheets and towels, housekeeping was gone, so I said to make sure they came the next day, and they did not. That's my only complaint. Otherwisse, good overall experience.

Stayed in room 201. Got bedbugs-they got an exterminator who also validated the bedbugs, and I was able to change rooms- no other compensation offered. Tried to leave a day early and they would not refund my money for the night I wasn’t staying.

Our family with young kids loves staying at Towneplace suites! Private bedrooms & bathrooms in 2-BR suite, fully stocked kitchen, great pool and hot tub, free hot breakfast, and wonderful staff. Thank you!

I didn't like how loud the heat/ac units are in the bedrooms when it turned on. If you are sensitive to noise while sleeping you must where ear plugs. I have seen a SpringHill Suites in Tennessee provide earplugs for guests on bedside tables. I would suggest the same to Ames TownePlace Suites. Other than the noise from the wall unit in the bedroom, I thought the hotel was very comfortable. I would stay again.

Great Front Desk and Property

Great location near ISU campus, newer property so everything is new and fresh. They had a problem with the room I reserved but moved us into another room - no issues and great customer service.

Excellent place to stay! Good location near ISU and los of amenities. Stayed in the 2Q suite. Large enough to have dining table. High ceilings. Larger bathroom. Super comfy single armchair. Quiet at night even on weekend. Very accommodating with our two dogs. The staff was fantastic! Helpful, kind and went the extra mile every time. Laundry facility and jacuzzi were awesome. Breakfast area is large with plenty of seating (unless it’s ISU move in week!). Decent hot breakfast. Good coffee. Will definitely stay here again!

Ok place to stay

The person at the front desk was very friendly. We were able to borrow a deck of cards from them which was nice.
The room was a nice size with a full kitchen although we only used the fridge. I am short and beds were so high it was hard for me to get in it. Our blow dryer didn't work so I requested another one. The one they brought us didn't work so I had to call and request yet another one. We tried to use the hot tub but the chlorine smell was so bad our eyes burned. So we went outside to sit by the fire pit and that wasn't working.

At first they gave us a room that hadn’t been cleaned yet. Actually we thought the people were still there. I thought I had reserved a room with a separate sitting area but they said that wasn’t what I ordered. They did give us a room with a separate sitting area. Everything was fine after that

Hire someone for housekeeping.

Comfortable stay

Bed & linens were very comfortable, room was clean and smartly laid out. We didn’t use kitchen during our stay but list of available appliances would be more than sufficient for family meals. Pool is a bit small but satisfactory for the kids to swim. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again!

It was okay

Hotel was clean. Bed was too hard and we were fighting for the small blanket, but the pillows were comfy. What was disappointing is that they appear to be using Covid as an excuse to eliminate all amenities. No breakfast, no housekeeping, no ice in machines. I had to go to the front counter to ask for more shampoo and coffee.
