This location was perfect for a family celebration. The location was easy to get to for family and the outdoor and indoor seating was beautiful. The room was perfect for the family. The staff was very accommodating when there were questions about the reservation.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

The pool room smelt like sewage and looking online you'll see that there is a hot tub but there is not.

Only half of the channels worked. Seemed to be very noise as you could hear every door close and street travel. Need upgrade of sound proof rooms
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.
