Guests often appreciate the warm hospitality and attention to detail, which contribute to a memorable stay. Set in a quiet neighborhood yet close enough to downtown Ames, it allows easy access to local dining and shopping options.

A significant advantage is its location near cultural hotspots such as Stephens Auditorium and Jack Trice Stadium, enabling guests to enjoy events without extensive travel. Cyclists can also take advantage of nearby bike trails for leisurely rides through scenic areas.
