We travel from Wisconsin to Kansas frequently to visit family and always stop half way. Now Iowa house in Ames will be our preference stop and place to stay. Everything was so comfortable (even the pillows). Breakfast was OUTSTANDING!

Room 100 was very noisy. Not sure if it was the room above or the kitchen but I was kept up both nights with walking, moving things around and other sounds. I would stay away from that room!

Very inviting and warm welcome. Sad we didn’t find this hidden gem sooner after our son has attended ISU for the last four years. We were lucky to meet some of the former fraternity brothers that lived there in the 1980s. Highly recommend this property! Awesome breakfast!!!

Our favorite place to stay when we visit our college kids because of its walkable location to campus and the campus town area. We like the building history, the hot breakfast made to order, the friendly staff, and the clean and relaxed atmosphere.

Great stay in an well-maintained historic ex-fraternity house! The fresh-made breakfasts were way better than we expected. And the location so close to campus couldn't be beat....just a quick walk to everything!
