Top Stephens Auditorium Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Ames

10/10 Excellent

"We were able to walk to the Iowa State Football game from the hotel. About a 30 minute walk. Helpful people. Breakfast wasn't huge but was appreciated"

Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"I like the property. It is very convenient to Jack Trice Stadium. One thing to note, when checking in, the staffer suggested that I could park nearer to my room and a back entry, and prop the door open with a rock to shuttle my belongings to my room! The staffer should NOT be suggesting that people bypass security. I felt less safe, as my room was the closest to the Back door. I did see that the door was propped open once or twice during my stay. Please tell staff not to tell guests to do this. It is just a matter of time before a non guest with bad intentions enters the property."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ames, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very easy to locate. In the area we were going to be spending time. Easy check-in. Late hours open for being able to use the pool! Good breakfast. We ate closer to finishing time but there was enough food even though no staff was attending. The regular coffee pot was all but dry, A lot of pumping to fill the cup. They seemed serious about recycling! Liked that! Comfortable bed! Slept well even though being close to Interstate and 4 lane highways."
