Summary: All Frontdesk stays are contactless self-check-in and include Scout, our exclusive digital companion to guide you through everything you'll need before and during your time with us. We're also available 24/7 via text or phone and have a local team should you need anything. The Space: Our one-bedroom apartment is furnished with a queen bed and has everything you & your guests need to enjoy your stay in Ames! The kitchen is adorned with stainless steel appliances, a Keurig coffee maker, and basic cookware to cook simple meals for a cozy night in! A washer and dryer are also available inside the apartment for your convenience. Our studio and 1 bedroom stays come standard with 3 towels and washcloths and our 2 bedroom stays come with 4 each. There is parking available with this stay but it is first come, first served; and we cannot guarantee availability. We are not responsible for any damages that may occur as a result of using this amenity. Anything in the apartment is yours to use. Make yourself at home once you arrive. While traditional cable TV is not included in your stay, we do provide Roku TV's with apps like Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and more! Feel free to use these services with your own login and enjoy! Guest Access: You can access the building anytime after 4pm by using the lockbox to obtain the keys. We ask that you respect our home and the quiet hours of the community. Our home is not baby proofed, and may not be ideal for families with very small children; however, children are welcome at your own discretion. The Neighborhood: Thirty miles north of Des Moines lies the city of Ames, Iowa. This small city is best known as the home of Iowa State University. On-campus are some of Ames’ best attractions, like the Remain Gardens, Brunnier Art Museum, and the Jack Trice Stadium. If you’re traveling with children, splash around at the Furman Aquatic Center waterpark. For a relaxing day, play a round at Veenker Memorial Golf Course. Or, for more adult fun, get a drink and listen to live music at the Alluvial Brewing Company. Getting Around: There are many different ways that you can travel throughout Ames! The city’s public transportation service, CyRide, has multiple bus lines that stop by our suite and can take you to the ISU campus and Downtown Ames. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also very popular. Many shops, restaurants, and grocery stores are also accessible by foot or bike. Other Things to Note: Please note that this unit is located above the building's hot tub and, as a result, you may be able to hear noise/conversation from below. The hot tub does not have posted hours for use. Please ensure you are booking with your full legal name. Checkout is at 10am but we offer a complimentary extension to 11am as long as you request it 24 hours before your scheduled departure. If you'd like to pay to check out later, the latest we can do is 1pm, at $25 per hour. Please let us know one day in advance if this is something you'd like to arrange! At Frontdesk, a core value is to be a good neighbor. We extend this 5-star experience to you, our guests, as well as our property partners. This means we have a zero-tolerance policy for parties or gatherings. To ensure this in the most comfortable and least intrusive way possible, we use a noise sensor to detect the noise level inside of the suite. The number of people inside the suite may not exceed the reserved guest amount at any time. While we do not anticipate the need, following multiple warnings, we will utilize local law enforcement to ensure compliance. If removal is required, it will be done at the guest's expense. Thank you for respecting the community and our commitment to be a good neighbor. Interaction with Guests: Most of our guests prefer to let themselves in with our lockbox entry system; however, we can be available upon request and are always available via phone call or text message should any questions or issues arise.
