Very good aside from one significant glitch

Bed was VERY comfortable and room was spacious and clean. We requested bedding for the fold out couch (not comfortable at all, but no fold outs are) and very shockingly, the sheet provided in the bedding kit was dirty—very clearly unclean from bodily fluids. I asked the front desk for another set as the sheets were dirty and the employee was very apologetic and she handled it well. So I have to question how a sheet like that ended up in a bag of “clean” laundry and it made me a bit concerned about the bedding in general, but everything else seemed fine. Other than that very unpleasant surprise, things were very good and very clean.

Found two dead flies and a deaqd roach on the floor of our room. Elevator floor had a lot crumbs on the floor when we arrived and were still there when we checked out the next day. The place just seems minimally maintained, and it shows. Breakfast and lobby area TVs' pictures were all fouled up with a blue hue. Just not very impressive overall for the price. I won't stay there again.

Terrible hotel and staff. I suspect they may be renting rooms by the hour. This hotel used to be a clean affordable place to stay with a great staff. I rented two room for three nights so parents and grand parents could attend a wedding. When we arrived we were given keys to dirty rooms with unmade beds, trash, and broken tile in the bathrooms. I selected and paid for king beds, but after changing rooms all they gave us was two queen beds. Again, the bathrooms had broken tile. Formerly, the stays included a hot breakfast. This time all they had was stale bagels and a few bruised apples. I approached the desk attendant and asked for a discount or some sort of consolation for being subjected to such horrid conditions. They flat out refused any sort of discount. I should also mention that they ran out of coffee and the ironing board looked like it was ran over by a truck. DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. It is the worst hotel in Ames. New management would rather run a homeless shelter than a hotel. I only gave it a one star because negative stars were not an option. Bad is a compliment for this nasty place.
