Econo Lodge Ames Area

Exceptional

Very good

The breakfast was great I love biscuits and gravy The pool was refreshing My stay was awesome just wish it was longer than a night

Need to improve the housekeeping and environment surrounding. Very good and strategic location in Ames. Very friendly!

There was piles of trash all around the building. Every garbage can was over flowing. The pool was drained. The laundry room appeared operating but found out after putting 8 quaters in the washer it didnt work. The ice machines were out of order. The breakfast was a some fruit and a muffin. The room was dirty, there was food all over the floor. The hallways smelled like weed and cat piss. There was a homeless dude that creeped around the hallways all night. No coffee. The phone in the room barley had volume. It was such a terrible experience. I will never reserve a room thru expedia again.

Clean

The place is under renovation. Ceiling was unfinished. No tissues provided. The plumbing was weird/loud. Noises above me all night that didn't seem to be a renter. Handicapped spot occupied by the workers. (I was in a handicapped room)

Staff was great! I didn't expect much as I wouldn't normally stay here, but was trying to cost save. This place was so much better than I envisioned. The staff is incredibly welcoming. The place is small but clean and will kept. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. My daughter fell asleep and had locked the door. At midnight they were more than happy to help us get into the room. Kind and courteous. I will stay here again. *No elevator since it's only 2 floors Shower drained slow but seeing as many of the guests seemed to work in the construction field, I can only imagine how hard it is to keep the drains clear, lol.

Exceptional

This place is a dump. Trash piled up, front driveway inaccessible, hallways and rooms smell bad (bo+weed+spices), carpet stained and tattered. The room itself was basic and clean, but the smell was everywhere and the hallways are unpleasant. Don’t stay here unless you have to.

Very clean hotel with nice rooms. Very good value!

Yes

The facility was dirty and it smelled of smoke and marijuana, very little heat from and making the room cold and a comfortable to sleep

Run down, cluttered with old furniture in halls, outdated, blood stain on a pillow, smelled throughout the place of Marijuana (I had to stuff a towel in Crack of door) heater was obnoxiously loud. I was suppose to stay 2 more nights but ended up finding another hotel. I would have left as soon as I saw and smelled this place but it was too late at night. I asked for a refund through bookings, but no response.

Old, musty, threadbare.

Only good thing is the room rate and the air conditioning and heater worked! Breakfast was with out bananas and only two old cuties that no one took. No silverware, they need an attendant to wipe off tables.

yes

The beds were not washed and rooms were not cleaned. There is black mold in the pool room on the walls and it smells horrible throughout the whole building. We checked into another hotel that night.

Nice place All good at

Such a dirty room. Chair was soiled. Shower had mold and hairs everywhere. Smelled in hallway and room. AC didn’t work. Hair dryer didn’t work. No water pressure. More weeds than landscaping in front. Worst experience we have ever had. If we could’ve found any availability we would have walked away. We come to Ames multiple times a year and will never come if Econolodge is only available.
