Hilton Garden Inn Ames

This hotel was designed very poorly. We were given a handicapped accessible room for unknown reasons. So I'm not sure if all the rooms are the same design. There was literally about 6 inches of space on each side of the bathroom sink. No other place to unpack bathroom items so I had to leave them in the bag which was a pain for a 3 day stay. The lighting is atrocious. Only 2 bar lights built into the bathroom mirror with opaque glass over them. Make up application was a challenge. Good overhead lights in the rest of the bathroom but it's so large to accommodate a wheelchair that they don't illuminate the sink. In the room itself, 1 lamp on the desk, 1 by 1 side of the bed, and 2 small reading eyeball lights on each side of the bed. The only overhead was by the door. No dresser, just wire baskets by the closet. Thin walls, you can hear everything in the next room. Very clean. Bed was comfortable.

Hotel was very clean and all staff were very helpful. In our room, there was no way to control the level of the fan on the heating/cooling unit; it was either on high or auto which blew on high, no way to lower it. As the blower was very loud on high, it was difficult to sleep. We have stayed at many Hilton Garden Inns in the past , and have enjoyed free breakfast at most I believe. The $12.95 cost for the breakfast at this hotel seemed very high! We did not eat breakfast at the hotel.

A great place to stay while visiting ISU!

It is a very nice hotel updated recently have stayed there before and never come away dissatisfied.

The hotel is lovely, clean and quite modern. The staff were all very friendly and helpful - the chef was a great laugh! Thoroughly appreciated the friendly face and chat in the morning.
