Ames and related destinations
Wander through Iowa State University's campus, where the Campanile tower chimes across manicured lawns and Reiman Gardens showcases butterflies in glass-enclosed splendor. The Main Street Cultural District offers shops in historic buildings that escaped the architectural blandness afflicting most Midwestern downtowns. Cyclones fans create seismic activity at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum, their enthusiasm suggesting sports here might be religion rather than hobby. The Octagon Center displays local art that's surprisingly sophisticated for a town this size. Between government research facilities and the university, Ames maintains a curious blend of agricultural roots and scientific innovation – a college town where test tubes and tractors coexist in unexpected harmony.

Red Roof Inn Ames
10/10 Excellent
"Comfortable clean room the tub dripped a little but typical age nothing horrible but a great stay for the price"
GrandStay Hotel & Suites
8/10 Good
"Check in was quick and easy. The front desk worker was welcoming and friendly. The place was nice and our room seemed to be fairly newly painted. Our toilet paper dispenser was missing the metal tube to put the toilet paper roll on. We were going to let the front desk know as we left, but no one was there. Not a big deal, but it should be fixed. Breakfast was fine. Quite a few choices, but no hot eggs over the weekend we were there. Disappointing, but there were several other choices. No real complaints and we would definitely stay there again."
Staybridge Suites Ames by IHG

"All was great except the pool was not available for lack of maintenance"
