Overall Score4.0/ 5
I was in Ames on business and stayed two nights at the Quality Inn. My room was comfortable and located on the back side of the hotel which made it very quiet with a view of greenery. Check in was smooth and quick. After a quick shower I was off to the pool where my only disappointment happened ~ no hot tub. The pool however was sparkling clean and a pleasant temperature in which I could just relax and float. My bed was comfortable and well appointed with pillows ~ my favorite accessory next to the coffee maker and frig. My night's sleep was peaceful with no disturbing noise, even on the second night when there were a number of families at the hotel. The rate was great,too.
