Love this place its our go to. This time though the hot tub and pool were closed and i was looking forward to that for my back injury. I dont know what it is about Ames they have motels that close their pools etc. The top of the fridge was very dusty and someone had wrote stuff in it other then that the staff was wonderful the room was spacious we will return.
