Booked a room for our 2 grandchildren since they were having a time because their parents had taken a vacation without them. Plan was to take them to a hotel to go swimming. Booked on line with “a pool”. Not working. It was raining outside Saturday morning so no swimming outside either. This confirmed that I am done paying extra to stay at Fairfield at Marriott.

Quick stopover in Ames to do the Rail Explorers rail ride in Boone and the High Tressel Bridge night bike ride down in Madrid. Unfortunately, a few things in the hotel needed some TLC (clogged- slow draining bathroom sink, toilet was running- probably a slow leak, dresser drawer just kept opening on its own...ghosts? Pool area was closed for some maintenance). Bad luck maybe for the hotel... but we did do the things we came here to do! Parking was ample and the breakfast area and selection was good!

Motel was excellent as well as the breakfast. Our only complaint is that someone unplugged the refrigerator and there was a very wet carpet in front of the refrigerator that we got wet before we realized that the carpet was wet. Told the front staff and they said that we could move the next day but decided to stay in our room and we were careful not to walk on the carpet.
