"The hotel stay was amazing and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi in our room. The only downfall is that the breakfast options are the basic options at most hotels but it was still good. I would definitely stay here again. "
"This property was very clean, comfortable and the staff was responsive, friendly and accommodating. The only minor flaw was that the air conditioner in our room was loud."
"I really can't say enough about our 3 night stay at this property. The staff was wonderful - I was travel as a single mom with 3 very small children. The staff always engaged my children and often asked if we needed anything. The property is in great condition - rooms were very clean and spacious. I loved not having carpet which is hard to clean. Smart TV allowed us to have a special movie night, fridge allowed me to store food for lunches. Nice hot shower and bathtub for the kiddos. Pool and hot tub were cozy and there was always an abundance of towels. Breakfast was fine for what we needed - pastries, cereals, waffle maker, juices, eggs, biscuits and gravy, etc. Great location and there was even free live music next door one night. Grocery stores, gas stations, food and beverage options very closeby. We would definitely stay here again!"
Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University
10/10 Excellent
"This is a great place to stay if you’re in Ames. We found the room to be large, furniture and bed was comfortable. It’s very quiet and other guests were very pleasant.
They have a unique shower head and provide directions-which are helpful. Parking is close to the entrance. "
"This place is amazing. I’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. I got one of the cottage themed rooms and it was amazing. It was extremely comfortable (except for the pillows but it’s rare to get good pillows in a hotel). It was so spacious it felt like the room kept going. The room I booked had a fireplace which helped my wife stay warm even though I was hot and she was cold. The shower had good room and pressure. The woman who checked me in was very friendly and informative. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to Des Moines but if I do I’m staying here no questions ask. In fact I’m going to find out if Stoney Creek has other places. I loved this place. "
"Needed a quiet room for one night. The hotel is older and the hallways show some age. But our room was very nice and clean. The beds are comfortable and the room was quiet. The breakfast had a nice variety of choices. "
