How to read these listings
Every card carries the same facts in the same order, so two properties can be compared at a glance rather than read as marketing copy.
- Distance is straight-line, not walking. We know where the property is and where the centre is; we do not know the streets in between. That is why each card also says walkable, long walk or drive, and why those labels are deliberately conservative.
- Guest scores are our accommodation partner’s, not ours. StubOrder does not review hotels. Where a score appears it is theirs, with the review count beside it so you can judge how much weight it carries.
- The rate is the lowest available for the stay you asked for, for two adults, and it moves constantly. Treat it as a comparison between properties rather than a quote.
- Nothing here is paid placement. The order is distance from the centre, full stop. No property pays to appear or to rank.

Frequently asked questions
How close are these hotels to the Ames venues?
They are measured from the middle of Ames, in a straight line, and each card says plainly whether that is a walk or a drive.
What kind of hotels are there in Ames?
The stock is mixed, with 3-star the largest single band at 19 of 33, and 3 of them are within a mile of the centre. They average 7.9/10 in guest scores from our accommodation partner.
Does StubOrder sell hotels and tickets together?
No. Tickets come from our resale marketplace and rooms from our accommodation partner, as two separate bookings with separate confirmations.
Why are no prices shown until I pick dates?
Because a nightly rate only means anything for a specific stay, and asking for one costs a live request. Pick your dates and every property above is priced for exactly those nights, for two adults.
Is it cheaper to stay near the venue or in the centre?
It depends on the city and the night. Near a stadium on an event night is usually the expensive option; the centre is usually better value but adds a journey. Both pages exist so you can compare them rather than guess.
