Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good
"Overall, the room was OK for the money. Some caulking around the windows seems needed, because ants came in and attacked our caramel popcorn that was left out. The air conditioning worked well, and cooled the room nicely, but it let out a musty smell at times. The breakfast was fine."
