“Days Inn By Wyndham Ames is a solid choice if you're in town for an event at Iowa State University and need an affordable place to crash. The rooms are clean and come with handy microwaves and mini-fridges, but the virtual check-in can feel a bit impersonal. Overall, it's a practical, no-frills option that covers the basics without breaking the bank.”
