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.
hard to say what I didn't like. The furnishings and amenities are well done.

We stayed at the Iowa Inn for three nights. The host and staff were fabulous, friendly, and provided fantastic service. The building is in perfect condition and the facilities and room excellent and comfortable. The rooms are so nice as to make you feel like you never left home. The first floor common room is elegant and very comfortable to reading, talking, or just relaxing. Breakfast was made to order, simple and delicious, and delivered quickly. The dining area was clean and comfortable. Location is great. We were not there for the University however but the property is easily accessible with ample parking. There are sitting areas outside as well to enjoy the day or evening. In summary, our stay was fantastic and we highly recommend the Iowa Inn.
There is really very little to be added. It is pretty rare not to have any commentary but there is little we can recommend improving. Perhaps a more "healthy" afternoon evening snack other than cracker-like items or raw fruit. Best we can do ;-)

The kitchen area was great accommodation. The loft in the room was nice. The location was great for Iowa Sate campus. Easy to access. Friendly.
Carpet was a little mangy/dirty looking, but no big deal. The room fridge was in the bathroom, just a bit off setting and weird. The lock on the door was strange and i wasn't certain it locked.

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!

Great breakfast (French toast and either sausage or eggs), fruit, coffee, juice, and other options available (cereal, muffins, oatmeal, bars, etc). The bed was really comfortable and the location was quiet. Walkable to campus. Nice outside sitting area.
There isn't an elevator, which was ok for us but good to know.

Excellent breakfast, Great location, Comfortable beds, Cozy room for all four guests. We stayed here to attend a funeral and wanted to checkout this B&B for future stays, being our oldest grandson will be attending Iowa State this Fall. This will be our first choice for booking a room in the future years.

Staff treats you like an individual, not just a number. The site feels very homey and like 'an experience'. The location is ideal for both ISU related visitors and non-alike. Breakfast is always a treat and the fully stocked snack counter is an added bonus.

The beds were very comfortable. Nice pillows and bedding. Slept very well! Breakfast was good.
I reserved a room with two beds and I would have preferred that they were together on the same level vs the one being up in the loft area. The only access was a spiral staircase.

Snack and beverage availability was great- 24hr access. The basement common room/game room was cozy with a nice selection of board games. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with good service.
Our room was tight - desk chair had to be moved to fully open the door. Not much space on sides of the bed...but it was okay.

Room very clean and bed extremely comfortable.
As solo female traveler in her 70s I struggled a bit with code and keyless entry. Very grateful they had a number posted on front door to call for help with that. Also, there is no elevator. So know that you have to drag your luggage upstairs to second or third floor.
