Incredible good attention from the hotel staff, because the Expedia did a big mistake, I did a reservation for one room and 3 adults, and Expedia gave me one king bed room and didn’t fix this mistake after I called them. Though the hotel manager solve my problem even that the Expedia didn’t care about. Thanks so much Red Roof manager, appreciate your attention and support.

Adequate in Ames

The Super 8 in Ames was OK, except that I saw a small spider in the bathroom (not moving while I looked at it, but later I saw that it had moved into a corner.) Otherwise, the room was comfortable enough. The breakfast options were nice.

The hairdryer was gone from the wall, but the cord still hanging from wall looked chewed. We didn’t need it, however did let the front desk attendant know. Our sleep was fine. Would stay at this property again.
