Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Horrible place to stay and so incredibly rude and unprofessional! We had a medical emergency while staying at this hotel and they were not accommodating at all and had no knowledge of how to switch a room from second floor to a main floor room so we could continue to stay here due to no elevator and then was going to charge us for another room, until they all the sudden had nothing on the main floor, but they had only 6 cars in the parking lot! Something very fishy here…. We left and checked into the Hampton inn where staff was very accommodating and sympathetic to out medical needs. We will be staying at Hampton inn this coming May and canceling at this horrible hotel with unprofessional and rude staff.

Property was clean, our room windows were filthy. Breakfast was short of a warm meal. Pool was cool and the ladder was hard to get out of pool. Motel should have a hot tub. The pool area had room for one.

It's clean, which is the most important thing. The staff was friendly. The property is visually unappealing from outside. The room was comfortable but could use renovation. There are many hotels in this area. You could do better; you could do worse.

Stayed here for 1 night. Property is older and a little rough around the edges. The sidewalk to the far west door is dangerous. Trip hazard. Furniture in our room was rough. Price was about right. Bed was comfortable. Area has places to eat and a couple gas stations.

The Baymont in Ames, Iowa, is an excellent accommodation. We especially like that the rooms are not carpeted. Beds are very comfortable. With current health safety measures, rather than a buffet type hot breakfast, for those of us who require protein for breakfast, they have a pre-packaged breakfast sandwich.

The rooms are nice for the price of the stay, although the bathroom is very small. The location is minutes away from major stores and restaurants and not on a busy street. The breakfast doesn't have much for options.
