Top Octagon Center for the Arts Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Ames

8/10 Good

"My room was relatively clean, but counters hadn’t been wiped between previous person and me. The rest of the room was fine…very soft pillows, comfortable bed, nice towels. Internet was sketchy, tv kept freezing. Staff was very friendly. They do sell some snacks and medications, grossly overpriced. But, convenience usually is."

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good price, friendly staff and a clean room"

American Inn & Suites

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is our favorite when visiting Ames. The location is ideal. The staff is friendly and always been helpful. The rooms are modern and clean. The restaurant and bar are very convenient if you don't want to leave the property to seek out food/drinks. We have not used the amenities such as weight room, pool, etc. so I can't speak to that."

Baymont by Wyndham Boone

8/10 Good

"I like the pool which is open till 10pm. Guests can still swim for late check in. There is no lotion only shampoo and conditioner. Bar soap is so hard to wash off so slippery just towel off. It might have so much moisturizer. There is a fly in the room. I like the beds and shower. The fridge is big, you can put enough food and drinks. Breakfast: there is cereal but no milk. Milk came when we are all done eating. Staff are nice ."
