It was the quietest, darkest room that I have ever stayed in. I slept 11 hours and never heard a door, an elevator or a person the whole time I was in my room. The bed was very comfortable and had 4 body pillows, which was awesome. The seating area for watching TV was also very comfortable.

I stay in Ames often, and the Courtyard is my favorite place to stay. However, I normally do not stay on game weekends because the price is so inflated...but this is true for all Ames hotels.

Wendy

The room is very thoughtfully designed and comfortable. Very updated furniture and bathroom design. Very nice looking gym, although I didn't have time to use it.

Laurel

The location was convenient to get around, lots of restaurants near-by, the staff was courteous, the bedding was comfortable and the hotel was updated.

Lorraine

The smell when you walk in! Reminds me of Vegas!
