Ames and related destinations
Wander through Iowa State University's campus, where the Campanile tower chimes across manicured lawns and Reiman Gardens showcases butterflies in glass-enclosed splendor. The Main Street Cultural District offers shops in historic buildings that escaped the architectural blandness afflicting most Midwestern downtowns. Cyclones fans create seismic activity at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum, their enthusiasm suggesting sports here might be religion rather than hobby. The Octagon Center displays local art that's surprisingly sophisticated for a town this size. Between government research facilities and the university, Ames maintains a curious blend of agricultural roots and scientific innovation – a college town where test tubes and tractors coexist in unexpected harmony.

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University
10/10 Excellent
"Very clean rooms. Staff were polite and helpful."
Spark by Hilton Ames
10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean & very nice. They had a welcome message on a card & my name up on the TV! Was so sweet and personable! Staff were incredibly kind. The whole place was clean, no weird smells, & the rooms are surprisingly soundproof. Didn’t hear any of the birthday parties going on near us actually! The room was comfortable and cool. The whole place had AC so thankfully it was a relief getting out of the heat when we were checking in. Breakfast was a nice selection & great quality."

"It was great"
Sonesta Essential Ames
8/10 Good
"The staff are very nice and helpful. The breakfast is great, with hot eggs sausages, and biscuits and gravy. It's just that the building is pretty old, so some maintenance or dirt seems inevitable."
