Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"For a quick stay in Ames it's perfect. I was concerned initially because of the ratings, but gave it a chance anyway. The staff I came in contact with were welcoming and helpful! The front desk gentleman was very attentive and friendly! There was a lady that worked the breakfast stations (I didn't catch her name) she was absolutely wonderful, personable and sweet. The rooms were very simple (not fancy), but clean (and I look at everything!!!) As a single female traveler I felt very safe there. The breakfast was great! Lots of choices available! I would definitely stay again."

"The room and the facility are very clean. The parking lot was packed because it was a football weekend. And the spaces were very narrow. Lots of SUVs and pick up trucks. Parking was tight"
