Hotel Ames
For a brand new building, it has elements of it not being cleaned after construction and also just being dirty. There is a lot of scrapes and just looks really worn down for a hotel less than a year old. When I walked in one lady that worked there scurried away and the front desk was almost annoyed that I arrived, as it took a while for her to warm up. The room is decent and bed is good and it was quiet. Breakfast was pretty average. Unfortunately this seems to be the way the industry is moving to, slap buildings together, and cram people in them.

My family of 5 decided to take a last minute trip to Boone Speedway and found Staybridge Suites. It seemed to be the best bang for your buck out of the surrounding hotels, even airbnbs. The property was clean and quiet. The beds were phenomenal. Its the first time Ive woke up in a hotel without my neck and back hurting. The showers do take a little longer than normal to warm up, but no big deal there. The pool is in its own building just outside the back door and it has a really nice back patio. We spent time there sitting around the firepit. The staff was kind and welcoming. We'll be staying there again next year.

Our son will be a freshman at Iowa State University in the fall. We chose to stay at Staybridge because we needed to complete a college visit. What we found was a nicely appointed lobby, which was very clean. The front desk hostess e was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area. Our room looked amazing! Very large and comfortable. More than enough room for our family. I was very pleased with what we discovered and the next time we are in Ames, Iowa we would definitely stay there again. It’s close to campus and the highway. The amenities are very nice. The staff is friendly. What more could a visitor ask for?

This was a relatively new and very clean place to stay; good breakfast. Highly recommend. One thing though: I arrived very late for reasons beyond my control, was very apologetic to the night manager, said sorry if I disturbed her rest. The next morning, after four hours sleep, getting ready for major event, she laid into me for accusing her of unprofessionalism, etc., that she had never been talked to in such a way. I said I was sorry, that I was exhausted, needed to get on zoom classes with my students (she was unable to help me with wifi issues).... and she came back with "well I was a teacher for 22 years." It was a little odd. I think we all have to put up with each other, tiredness, misunderstanding, and so on, but when you work in the 'service industry', one should resist the temptation to lash out at a client/guest whom you feel has treated you poorly -- never mind one who has actually not treated you poorly. I think this was a passing and strange encounter. Otherwise, the hotel is fantastic.

Hotel is nice and rooms are big and well equipped. However, on last two stays, the key cards did not work. Got them re-set, and still did not work. Really frustrating. This is 2024!! Key cards are not a new technology. Staff acted like it was my fault, but they couldn’t get the cards to work, either.

Not bad but lots of minor problems
The hotel was newer and you could tell. Whoever the contractor was did a horrible job finishing it. Things were broke. If you miss measure something just of caulk a bunch...lol. there were Holes in the shower. We were moved from 1 room to another cause the TV was broke. Then the TV in the newer room broke as well. No one there to fix it or help at night. Beds and room were comfortable. And front staff did what they could about TV which was not much.

First room would not unlock, switched to another room, the silverware drawer was blocked shut by what appeared to be the bracket that was supposed to hold the stove top in place. Staff was fine but not very friendly.

This facility is new. The new construction is not completely finished. There were no curtains in our living room. There was spackle and paint on the carpet, giant gouges in the kitchen flooring, no dresser in the room with two beds, but two telephones in that room, a lamp behind a TV, because it didn’t get hung on the wall. Definitely not worth what we paid per night. Front end manager unhelpful. Still waiting on a call from the area manager.
