Hampton Inn Ames - Ames

Great breakfast and service... however it was not within walking distance to any bars or entertainment so a cab is a must to get around if you don't want to deal with parking. We also went on a weekend that there was some sort of college gathering so it took over an hour to get a cab at 10pm!

Upon arrival we were greeted by the night manager. He was very polite and helpful. Our key cards only worked after the 3rd try so we swapped them the next day. Upon closer inspection the room had obviously not been cleaned to the usual Hampton standard... Dirty vents with lots of dust in the bathroom and something stuck to the walls that should have […] come off with a wet rag, but was left there. There were long black hairs in the bed and we're both blonde. I found a water bottle under the dust ruffle making me wonder when the last time a vacuum was under there. We were on the first floor so we heard kids running and screaming on their way to the pool all day. But on top of all that, the least professional thing I saw was during my complimentary breakfast. I was the only guest there and I felt completely our of place as the staff chatted loudly to each other about the hiring of new employees over themselves and how they don't make enough money. Very inappropriate. Wow, guess there was more to complain about than I thought. We won't stay again, even with the proximity to the university. Ďalšie informácie

We had a king room. We were up in Ames for a weekend. I knew I was going to have to work while I was there. The hotel offered free wifi but it was quite obvious they had a fairly low speed DSL connection that caused some headaches. Breakfast closed up a bit earlier than the 11AM posted, but the spread wasn't bad. Some sort of eggs, meat, oatmeal, biscuits […] and gravy one day, a waffle maker, pastries, and cold options. Overall the hotel and the room was clean and comfortable. The only real issue was that someone was obviously smoking on our floor. We ran across the front desk person on there and I mentioned something. I got a non-committal "yeah, someone is" and nothing was done about it. Thing is, in the State of Iowa, smoking in a public building like that is illegal. Lastly, the rooms have very nice, large flat panels. Unfortunately, they're all locked into the hotel's Lodgenet system, so you can't plug in anything or use alternate video sources (so they can get you to buy their PPV and built-in game system). I didn't really care, but I would have liked the option. When we travel yearly for our anniversary we bring our wedding video and a laptop. Had this been that trip I would have been very disappointed. Still, please don't take the above as all there was to our stay. They say you only remember the bad. Overall despite these issues our stay was very nice and I would definitely go back (as long as I wasn't going to need a true high-speed internet connection again) Ďalšie informácie

After a long drive we decided to get take out food and eat in the room. There was a table, but no chairs. Eating on the bed was not an option, so standing was the way we went.

Hotel was a little dated and in need of some upgrading. For the price, expected more. Also, sofa bed did not have clean sheets on it.

We were trying to eat breakfast as a family, and the attendant just hovered making us very uncomfortable eating. We wondered if he was afraid we'd steal the plastic forks! My daughter was "creeped out" by him, and we just wanted to get out of there. If you are going to have continental breakfast, have it and leave people alone. We also had to exchange […] our keys in several times, and the manager told us "This one looks newer, maybe it will work." It was ridiculous. Ďalšie informácie

The staff of this Hampton Inn are very friendly. The property is very nicely cared for, very clean and comfortable. It would be an especially nice place to stay for a weekend visiting the Ames area. We especially appreciated that the entire facility was non smoking.

The room was pretty clean except for the carpet. It was noticeably old. The bed was comfortable but the room's cooling/heating system was so noisy that we had to completely shut it down and the bathroom exhaust fan was noisy and never shut off. The room got very warm. People were friendly but for the price that we paid I would not recommend this ho […] tel. Ďalšie informácie

I love the Hampton Inn hotels. Comfortable beds, free breakfast, polite staff and a good price. I haven't been dissapointed yet.

Used this motel as base of visits to Ames, Des Moines, and Story. Comfortable and fairly new. Restaurants a little ways away, but good choices. Some noise from other vistors one night, but quiet for sleeping. Continental breakfast just so-so.
