Iowa House

As ISU alumni, it is hard to find place for stay and close to campus, when most of friends graduated from school many years. I was living here for 2 nights. The house is lovely. Breakfast was nice. It is also convenient to visit campus.

Best night of sleep ever, reminded me of my childhood home. Not super busy on this random Sunday night. Cornerstone Church service was the highlight of our trip.

Awesome place to stay in Ames.

Great place to stay. One recommendation would be to have a regular height bed for handicap room. It is too high to get into without a step stool.

My cousin and I had this house all to ourselves. It was so relaxing to hang out in the main living room after trudging around campus. I was glad my room had a fan as I usually have one on at home to get to sleep. My only caveat is that this place is highly perfumed. If you have a scent allergy it could be a deal breaker.

Perfect location, wide selection of rooms, great breakfast.

Loved our stay at the Iowa House! Will definitely stay again!

Our stay last night was absolutely wonderful! The hotel was beautiful and incredibly comfy, making for a perfect night's rest. We especially loved the family-style breakfast – it was such a unique and delightful way to start the day, with everyone sitting down and enjoying food together. Highly recommend!

Had a pleasant first night staying at the Iowa House. I was able to check-in a few minutes past midnight accommodating me as I shortly disembarked a Jefferson Lines bus that's a short walking distance from the building which is very convenient. I also enjoyed the free breakfast that was prepared to the customers liking. I would definitely say another night here.

This place was FANTASTIC! I've never traveled to Iowa (at least not on purpose) and we were coming to take a ride on the Rail Explorer. This sweet place was close enough and had such great reviews, I didn't even feel like I was taking a chance. Being an old frat house, it's obviously on campus. There were some parties going on in the neighborhood, but we couldn't hear a thing in our room! The rooms are all so quaint and cozy - fridge and microwave in each one! - quilts on the beds, jetted tubs (even bath salts!) and lovely, old windows giving glorious natural light and adding to the charm of the room. Okay, I know this might sound dumb, but the toilet paper is REAL. If you know, you know. Breakfast in the morning is homemade (I think it's different every day) but they were also accommodating to guests who didn't necessarily want what was being served. There were plenty of "continental" options as well. And all day, there are snacks and drinks available in the dining room (the homemade carrot, banana bread was delicious!). The living room was very spacious and a lovely place to just sit and read a book, or visit with others. There are also patio tables and chairs for when it is nice outside. There is a quaint eatery in very easy walking distance, with great coffee options, and they're open til 9pm! This bed and breakfast was so nice, I'm looking for a reason to come back! Thanks so much, staff of Iowa House! We felt very at home, in your home. ❤️
