I miss that place.

I stayed at the Gateway Center. Its a very generic looking hotel, nice, but it doesn't seem exceptional. It had the best service of any hotel that I've stayed at, and I stay at a lot of nice hotels.
Also, the filet mignon at the hotel's restaurant was outstanding. The best filet mignon that I've had. A few months later, I was talking with a friend of mine, who lives in New Jersey, and who has been exposed to many of the finer things in life. He told me that he just had the best filte mignon ever. I asked, "where?" He told me that we was in Ames for a wedding, and stayed at the Gateway Center, and had the steak in the hotel restaurant. It was like déjà vu all over again.
So Ames might boring enough for the college kids to call it "Lames," but it is a nice little town with a great hotel that has great steak.
