We really enjoyed our stay at the BWP in Ames. We weren't in the room much but the room was spotless and the beds are the most comfortable hotel bed we have slept on in a long time. The breakfast is the standard free breakfast stuff but the filing station is next door with a awesome breakfast. We will be back.
