Great place to stay within a couple blocks of campus. Management is easy to work with and very accommodating. It feels like you are staying at someone's home. Charming, clean... read more place to stay! I would definitely stay here again!

  We stayed at the Iowa House as we moved our son into college. It is conveniently close to campus and truly a unique and special place. We were... read more told it was once a Fraternity house, and recently renovated into a the hotel/inn that it is now. It seems little expense was spared, as the house is emasculate from top to bottom. Our room had a full bath, TV and cable, refrigerator and microwave. AC, and a spiral staircase up to a twin bed loft in case our son wanted to stay with us. The beds were VERY clean and comfortable, and the homemade freshly cooked breakfast to order was a great bonus. Will be staying here anytime we come to visit our son in the years to come! More

  My husband and I stayed at the Iowa House on a Friday night and Jessica told us that breakfast was from 8a.m.- 10a.m. the next day. We said that... read more would not work for us as we had to leave early. They checked with their kitchen help and were able to make it for us early and it was wonderful. We got pancakes, eggs, toast and bacon. We thought it was nice that they did this for us! We have stayed at the Iowa House before and will continue to go back when we need a place to stay!

  We've stayed here before and had wanted to return. Love the old building and the simple room decor. Everything was comfortable and clean. Noah at the front desk... read more was very professional when I called asking how to get there (I'd forgotten to print directions) and helpful when we arrived. Evening snacks were a pleasant treat; we spent the evening reading in the comfortable living room. Breakfast is basic, but hot and good with more if you ask. We will certainly go back if we ever have a reason to stay in Ames again.

  Our family stays in Iowa House to participate in the graduation ceremony. The location was convenient to walk to ISU and restaurants, rooms were very clean and well decorated, breakfast... read more was the best compared to other hotels, parking space was convenient. Among all, we really enjoyed Christmas decorations and snacks at the lobby during our stay. Thank you so much for the hospitality of the staff.
