The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Later after we returned home I discovered I had left my sweater behind. They found it, and thanks to Linda Shaw, head of housekeeping, she returned it to me (we live too far away to go get it). I was very pleased with her extra care and effort!

We stayed at the Gateway Hotel in late April for a retirement party that was being held in the conference center. The rooms were great, beds were extremely comfy. I thought the breakfast buffet was good but overpriced as well as the bar/lounge. Overall it was a very nice property but upon check-in we were told our 3 rooms for... More

A top quality facility. An 8 story, pre-stressed cement building results in quiet nights with no thumping foot-steps from above. Top quality restaurant on premise. This hotel has an Iowa state theme and serves as a meeting center for many activities (weddings, alumni parties, pre-sportting event get-togethers etc.). Friendly staff, very good beds. Beautiful grounds of several acres. We stay... More

This is a very nice hotel and prices are generally good. During of my two time visits of Iowa state university I've stayed here and I'm generally happy with the choice. The only problem is that there is no frig or microwaves in the room. Also it seems like no one in Iowa drinks tea!

I got a room here for a discounted price using a certain "name your own price" website. I needed a pace to stay in Ames with my toddler since my fiancee was staying in the hospital. I was very impressed with the hotels appearance and friendly staff. Indoor pool was used twice with my toddler, and i would have loved... More

Very nice hotel Beds were great, flat screen tv, nice desk area to work. Room and bathroom were large. I would like to see more accessible outlets for cell phone and laptop. shouldn't have to crawl under desk to plug in. There was only 1 available plug next to bed. shower could use an update, drain plug was out and... More

I stayed at the Gateway this week for three nights. It is a nice and clean hotel, but lacked in one way - electical outlets! In the day we live in, with all the electronic gadgets we use in our day-to-day lives, you would think any hotel would pay more attention to this. There are ways to help - even... More

We've stayed at this hotel many times but each time we see more and more items that need attending. The carpet on the way to the newly renovated restaurant is old, worn and dangerously buckling. Anyone with a handicap using a walker, cane, or wheelchair would find this a scary walk. We LOVE the sauna, and whirlpool so that is... More

Stayed here over a weekend while visiting our college student grandson. Convenient to campus and clean, but not as well maintained as some chains having the same daily rate. Layout is strange & the Executive Center rooms not easily accessible. Found some burned out lightbulbs on entering. Housekeeping didn't arrive until 5PM for daily room cleaning. Front desk said that... More
