Iowa House Historic Inn

Iowa House was charming and comfortable, a great setting for our overnight getaway. Although there was no staff at check in, when we had a question about the heating unit, our text was answered immediately with a phone call. The bedding was downy soft, and the room very quiet. We had no idea there were even other guests present. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious (thank you, Kendra!) My husband and I agreed the breakfast added a $30 value to our reservation. We definitely want to stay here again on our next visit to Ames!

Our son is a freshman at Iowa State and we stayed here once before on a visit and loved it. This time we stayed was during a huge snow storm and the temps were -10. This added hours on to our drive from Chicago. When we got there we were beyond stressed. This place was the perfect way to relax. We brought a bottle of wine with us and found the little common room in the basement with the comfy couch and big screen TV and that's where we stayed under a warm blanket. That sure beats the sterile rooms and halls of a regular hotel. This was exactly what we needed to de-stress and prepare for the next day's drive.

Excellent breakfast cooked for us. Excellent location near the University. Good looking historic building. Cozy room. Clean. Would book again.

The facility keeps coffee and snacks out for guests throughout the day, very nice if you happen to get in late or come down late for breakfast. The location of the home is exception, a nice walk to the downtown. Safe and clean neighborhood. The room is well furnished, clean and spacious bathroom.

This is my second time staying at the Iowa House. I grew up in Ames, and come back often to see friends and family. I've decided I will not stay anywhere else, except here. So homey, exceptionally clean and the hot breakfast in the morning and 24/7 snacks are great! Love love love!! Thank you all! See you soon!
