Immediately when we got there I had a bad feeling about this hotel. The outside was sketchy. I go & check in and get a room. Front desk guy was a little weird. I get into the room, it’s dirty, smells heavily of smoke (I requested nonsmoking), beds are wet, there is a dead bug on the desk, bubble gum stuck in the bathtub, and what appeared to be a camera stuck to the TV (that’s what my husband said, I never looked). It was awful. Never again. Ames isn’t a great town to begin with, and then to top it off this hotel was terrible. Save you’re money & time because this place is worthless.
