TownePlace Suites by Marriott Ames is a hotel at 1523 South Dayton Place in Ames, near the I-35 and US-30 interchange. That road access is one of the practical strengths of the property, especially for a stay that depends on arriving by car rather than walking from transit.

The rooms are set up as studios and apartments rather than standard hotel rooms. Studios include kitchens, flat-screen TVs, desks, sofas, and Wi-Fi, while the one- and two-bedroom apartment layouts add separate living areas. Room imagery for this specific property also shows two-bed rooms, bathrooms with a shower and sink, and living space with a couch and TV.

The stay works well for guests who want hotel services without giving up some apartment-style space. Breakfast is available in the building, and parking is complimentary on the property. The hotel also has a fitness center, a BBQ and picnic area, meeting space, and guest laundry.

The pool area is indoors, so it is not dependent on warm weather in Ames. The hot tub adds a stronger relaxation feature than a simple pool-only setup, and the fitness center gives another option for spending time on site without leaving the building.

One firm limit is the age rule: guests must be at least 21 years old to reserve a room and check in at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Ames.
