Top hotels in Ames Lake
Mayflower Park Hotel
Quaint historic hotel. Wonderful location so we walked everywhere. Staff are very friendly. Oliver’s Restaurant in the hotel had a delicious cocktail, ambiance and breakfast menu we enjoyed.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel
Beautiful, historic 100 year old landmark hotel - would have given it 5 stars but you have to deal with an obnoxious, non-working phone robot when you call the front desk. I would expect that at motel 6 but not a place like this.
