Breakfast was okay, but not great. The eggs I think would do better as scrambled. The biscuits and gravy were great though. Everything else was great about the stay, and I will look to get another room if I need to stay overnight in Ames again.

It’s very clean hotel. Continental breakfast is adequate. Staff is very friendly. The only problem we have is our car deactivated every day and we were there for three days.
