Top Story City Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Ames

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean. Pool was clean and didn’t have the typical heavy chemicals smell that indoor pools have. Room was clean and worked well for a family of 4 for the night. Very easy to get to off the highway."

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Clean hotel. Good breakfast! Quiet. Only negative was not very hot water in shower (water pressure low as well)."

Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to spend the night. The pool and hot tube were clean and warmer than most other hotels we have stayed at. Breakfast was good. No issues."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ames, IA

8/10 Good

Quality Inn & Suites Ames Conference Center Near ISU Campus

10/10 Excellent

"Everything went great"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"As always our stay was pleasant and the space is what we needed. The lobby always smells good. The property is starting to show some age. Staff is helpful and friendly. I guess my one negative comment would be the breakfast was less than the standard. They are pet friendly and have a reasonable fee compared to others."

Comfort Inn Story City

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night while in town for a wedding. Staff was helpful, the room and premises were well kep. Very comfortable stay. I've liked all of the Confort Inns I've stayed at and this is no exception to that."

Red Roof Inn Ames

"no breakfast!"

Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I really liked having a 50" inch smart tv which allowed me to watch all my shows on my apps. My room had a sleeper sofa and coffee table which were nice additions as well as having a mini fridge and microwave. The breakfast was nice because there were hot and cold items to chose from. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the housekeepers! If I'm in the area I would definitely stay again!"
