About this place Days Inn by Wyndham Ames

Days Inn by Wyndham Ames is a mainstream budget motel at 229 S Duff Ave, on the commercial strip south of downtown and a short drive from the Iowa State University campus. It's listed as gay-friendly and isn't a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it only 3.0 from about 330 reviews, so expect a basic, no-frills stay. Rooms fill up and prices jump on ISU football and graduation weekends, so book early for those. Ames itself has no dedicated gay bar. Des Moines, about 35 minutes south, has the nearest scene.

Worst hotel ever! The virtual kiosk was super sketchy. The lights in our room didn’t even work. There were open wires from the lights switch. Never go here.

First thing I enjoyed the breakfast, the pancakes mix and then the room very super clean for the price they offered. I would defend recommend to try this place if you’re passing by this area. Rooms has iron and hair dryer. The front desk guy(harshil) was also helpful.

No, just NO! Mouse poop in my room, dirty sheets, and the bathroom was so dirty that I went to Walmart and bought new sheets and cleaning supplies. Would NOT recommend.

There is no front desk personnel. You basically “FaceTime” a person overseas through a kiosk. They attempt to hold you hostage and price gouge for special events, charging $50 for a second person to sleep in the room (double queen bed room, mind you). Normally rooms are roughly $100/night. The TV didn’t work, no TP on the holder upon arrival, and the water pressure was barely above a drip. Would not recommend. My opinion: ownership is unethical and leverages predatory practices.

Breakfast was behind a locked door. No access. Handle on Hot Tub leaked. Hot Tub was dirty. No liners for ice bucket that was full of coffee packets etc. Kiosk in lobby instead of people. Office was locked so couldn't ask about the "free breakfast".
