Great B&B with so much historic character and modern amenities like wifi and combination locks. Bed was so comfortable. And the breakfast was perfect. I will return.

Iowa House is our favorite place to stay when visiting Ames. The staff is wonderful and we always end up meeting great people around the breakfast table 💕 Right across the street from campus and some great little restaurants just a couple blocks away

Personal inexistente, deficiente e inoperante.
The staff does not know about public transportation. I had to go out and find out on my own. They gave me the wrong key to the door and I couldn't get in. I spent an hour knocking on all the windows and no one came out, I was alone in the house, there was no other guest or any of the staff. With my things inside, being cold on the street, cut off because my cell phone is foreign and without WiFi, without having anyone to turn to, I was forced to break a glass to enter. I called from the reception phone to the help number they had on a sign and it was not available. If I had more to do, I went to bed and, not happy with the lack of attention, they took me out of the room with the police as if I were a criminal and expelled me from the hotel. I couldn't even spend the night, I had no way to ask for help or explain the situation and they did not return my money. A terrible experience, to be forgotten. And we are talking about the United States, a first world country. These things don't happen in mine. Terribly attended, terrible management of the conflict. A real shame.

Very adequate overnight stay, very cute historic home in a great location. This is definitely your typical corporate owned facility, with offsite owners. Breakfast is mediocre at best. Air conditioner didn’t work in our room, but that might have been a one off issue.

We loved the Iowa House for a one night stay in a college town. The place is charming and must have great stories having been a frat house. After arriving we were a little skeptical of location right amongst college housing but we were pleasantly surprised. So much space indoors and outdoors to enjoy. We would definitely go back. Highly recommend.
