Friendly, welcoming staff, quick check in and check out, helpful directions, convenient location, clean facility, good TV even I can operate, good bed, almost instant hot water, good breakfast, quick check out. The Red Roof Inn of Ames, Iowa, is a great value for the money. I'll stay there again next time I'm in Ames and I'll recommend it to others.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
I spent three nights in IA each night at a different hotel. This was the most expensive and the continental breakfast was the most pathetic. The only thing I liked best about this hotel was the rooms were not carpeted. That was the only plus. But nit worth the price.

Sink didnt work and room was so hot we couldn't sleep, finally turned air conditioning on at midnight and got a little rest. Very unsatisfactory, several plumbing issues, were afraid to attempt a shower.
