Gateway Hotel and Conference Center

I attended an event in one of the conference rooms. Despite the hotels run-down exterior, the interior was generally beautiful and clean, except for the gaudy Iowa State University murals along the hallway. I've been to the Iowa Stater before, and it's a OK restaurant. The light desserts served at the event were really good, though. The actual room was set up well, beautiful, and all the equipment worked. I would recommend Gateway for events and conferences.

Great location if you are looking for a comfortable stay near the ISU campus. Although the hotel decor feels a little date, the rooms are in great shape, the beds are comfortable, and the staff has seemed responsive in each of my four stays here. Though the hotel can be full when there is a game or a large college event going on, other times it is very quiet, and by searching hotel booking sit s, you might find a great deal.

Stayed one night for a work winter party. Rooms were very well kept. Pool and whirlpool were clean and enjoyable. Definitely a nice place to stay!

Stayed as an overnight guest this January for a conference in Ames. Was pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel, as well as the overall ambiance. There were very few outlets in the room, and we had to take the little coffee maker from the desk to the bathroom to find an outlet. While traveling with kids, extra outlets are essential and we had a hard time finding enough for our needs.

Rooms were very nice, visited on off season so they were cheap too. Always nice to see the Iowa State spirit. Location isn't Central but isn't far away either
