Super 8 Motel - Indianola/Des Moines Area - Indianola

They advertise "pet friendly" but they charge an extra $10 (plus tax) per night for the dog. I would not gripe, except they never mentioned it until check in. Also, the mini refridg did not work

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room I stayed in did not have a working remote control and someone had obviously slept on the sheets that were on my bed. The hallways had a very fowl odor. The lady that cleaned the room across the hall from me was very nice. Her supervisor was barking orders at her like a dog. I felt sorry for the housekeeper. I had my year old son with me and […] needed to keep his formula refrigerated. The Refrigerator in my room did not work. The hairdryer did not work. I woke up with bug bites all over my body, as if there were fleas all over.This room was not worth the price I paid to stay there. I think I would rather camp at the campgrounds rather than stay there again. Read more

The toilet ran most of the night. I had to open the top to get it to operate properly. The seat would not stay up and was skewed on the sit-down there on the stool, and had to loosen, reposition, then tighten again. I told that lady at the front desk, but did not think she understood me. Liked the table and work area. Liked the widened area of the overhead […] shower curtain. Juice, donut and toast in the morning was good. Winns supper was good. Bluegrass music was good. Rain hampered local festival we just happen to run across, the desk clerk knew little about local happenings. Was a mixed experience, but a comfortable stay. Read more

Toilet seat and plumbing were broken. Hair dryer plug was broken and not replaced upon request. Breakfast is extremely minimal. Service was adequate at best, not friendly at all. Will not stay here next year.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The refrigerator didnt seem to get cold or took a day to cool. Broken plug in the bathroom. There was a broken beer bottle in the parking lot. And the noise from the other guests made it difficult to sleep. One evening guests came in late and were loud in the hall and a dog barking in a vehicle. The next evening children were running the halls after […] 9 pm,.. Staff was friendly and is an inviting atmosphere. Read more

This was the filthiest hotel I have ever stayed. Wall of pool was black, room was smelly, air conditioner did not cool, bathroom was disgusting! I am surprised that Super 8 has their name on a hotel this disgusting. Would never, ever stay here again!

Nothing really remarkable about this motel. Very average in all categories, except convienient and easy location to find

Hotel is great but the night people could used better manners.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was clean and convenient! The beds were comfortable. Overall, we really appreciated our stay!

Other than finding the front desk help on checkin the stay was good.

Cleanliness-it was not clean. They obviously never vacuum around the edges of the room. The bathroom floor was dirty and the tile above the shower was moldy. I saw a cockroach in the bathroom. On the entryway counter with the sink, there was a blood spot on the wall. The lazyboy chair in the main area was broken. I will not be staying at this hotel […] again and I may be calling the owner of the chain, it was so disgusting. I just hope that I did not bring any cockroaches home with me. Also, we only had 2 people in our room and our second day we didn't have hot water right away in the morning for our showers. My personal opinion is that they should bulldoze this one and start from the ground up. Read more

Our rooms were clean as was the hotel. Breakfast not alot of choices but fine for the price of the stay. Clean quiet little town but hotel located close to places to eat and shop. First room the air didnt work but went to the front desk and was changed to new room without any fuss.

I was very apprehensive about this hotel after reading the negative reviews, but I was very surprised when we arrived. The lobby was nice and clean. The only issue I had with the room was that there were two ceiling tiles above the tub that looks like they get wet a lot and should be replaced. We did not eat the free breakfast as it was cereals and […] pastries. We will stay at this hotel again. Read more

The first room we were given upon check in had a terrible odor as soon as we walked in and it was extremely hot in the room. We attempted to turn on the air conditioner and on high it barely blew. Temperatures outside were 90 degrees, so we requested to be moved to another room. The second room we moved to, the air worked but there was dead bug in the […] bathroom....later we found out that the tank on toilet did not fill with enough water to flush and we had them come up to fix while we went to swim in the "heated pool". First of all the pool was not heated and on top of that it was filthy. All around the inside of pool and all of the water exchanges there was so much dirt built up it didn't appear to have been cleaned in a very long time. At about 1:30 in the morning the smoke detector would beep every two minutes because the battery backup was low. We went down to desk at about 6 to tell them about it and we're told they would come fix it. About an hour later they had still not come up, so we went down again and were told that her husband was sleeping. (a couple lives in the hotel who run it). We told her we were glad someone at least was able to sleep, since we were not able to because of the constant beeping, she needed to wake him up and fix it. Only at that time did she send him up. This is by far the worst hotel, I have ever stayed at and will stay 20 miles away from my sons college for our next visit rather than step foot again in this hotel! Read more

Overall a good stay. Stayed two nights. Breakfast was good, room was clean. Our neighbors in the room above us were quiet loud at all hours of the night. Front desk associates didn't talk much and weren't super friendly but not rude.

It was clean & the hotel staff was friendly. They were in the process of updating some of the rooms. The toliet ran most of the night, which under the circumstances was under standable & passable. So the only real complaint that I had was the pool. It needed cleaning in our opinion, being we had a pool for 25 years. There was stuff on the bottom of […] pool, the sides needed to be cleaned. There was some small brown bugs on the one ledge. Where the sun reflected on the pool, you could see like sun particales. After noticing this, me & my granddaughter got out right away. Read more

As a whole the hotel was fairly decent. Our kids went to go swimming and the manager walked in and dumped chemicals in the water and told e eryone to get out. The chemicals should have been added when the pool was closed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were very disappointed in this hotel. When you pull up to register the pillar holding up the carport area is completely demolished. The only thing holding it up is a 4x4! Very unsafe! The parking lot had a pothole as big as my car! We reserved a non-smoking room and when we got there they only had a smoking room--the smell of the room was horrible. […] We had to sleep with the window open (without a screen) and the noise of the highway made it hard for my children to sleep. We were there for two nights and so we asked for a different room the second night and they did accommodate us; however, the fridge didn't work in the new room and the window had a torn screen on it! The indoor pool was clean but was freezing. The breakfast was a positive, the kids liked the waffles. I will not stay at this hotel again! Read more

Upon arrival to our hotel we were informed that our room was not ready. We were a bit early so we took this is stride taking the opportunity to explore the town. When we returned the hotel manager was friendly and did remember my name from earlier in the day. We were checked in right away. The room was not as clean as one would expect. There were hairs […] all over and the shower was dirty. It was obvious that they had done the bare minimum to prepare the room. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was because of the pool. The water was freezing! It was one of the cheapest hotels in town so I guess I got what I paid for. Read more

The hotel served the purpose however the man working the front desk was rude. We went to the hotel pool at 9:50 pm & he came in right at 10:00 and kicked us out by saying "pools closed". I was lounging in a chair while my husband & 17 year old son had their feet only in the pool. We were told when we booked the hotel that there was a hot tub but there […] was not & that was very disappointing! We would stay again because of convenience but would appreciate being treated nicer next time. Read more

The quality of this hotel did not match the price I paid for it. It was run down, dirty and understaffed. I was very disappointed. The town is close to Des Moines and I should have stayed there instead.

Genuine Expedia guest review

mediocre is the best way to describe this hotel. Nothing great; nothing bad either.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

we chose this hotel because of it's proximity to the Summerset Vineyard, where we were attending a wedding reception with our 2 small children. The "indoor heated pool" was the other motivation for staying here. We thought it would be a nice way to unwind from the 4 hour car drive. Unfortunately the pool was small, very heavily chlorined, and not particularly […] warm. We were only able to swim for about 10 minutes before our teeth were chattering. I could still smell the chlorine on my skin hours later after showering etc. So the pool shouldn't be a selling point. However, the make-your-own waffles, as part of the breakfast, was a hit with both our kids. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable enough. Good hot water pressure in the bathroom. Read more

Clean room, a little dated though. Drain in bathtub was broken (lying on edge of tub). Below average for the cost but OK.

for being a 2 star i didn't expect much at all. But the staff was very nice even when we asked about late arrivial times. my wife and I got there after midnite from des moines airport which is a very short distance from motel (15 miles tops ). nicely cleaned rooms, plenty of hot water for shower and the normal breakfast menu in the morning.

Room was clean, bed was comfy and location was great, the cleaning staff was very helpful when I left a message regarding the air conditioner not working and promptly replaced a light bulb. The gentleman working the front desk one evening was not very friendly and did not go out of his way when I asked if they had an item that I needed, he seemed more […] concerned about going outside to smoke a cigarette. Not sure if we will stay there again because of the way I was treated by him. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The first problem I had with the room was that I did not notice when booking that the room was a smoking room. I went out and bought disinfectant but it was not effective. There were a few other issues related to the room. There was a light bulb missing from the bedside lamp and the toliet would not flush. The continental breakfast was very limited. […] The is the first time I have ever written a poor review. Read more

I chose this motel for it's convenient location in Indianola. Despite past reviews the motel was clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff was responsive to our requests to turn the pool temerature up and when I thought I had lost my watch they went out of their way to ensure it was not in the motel. Typical of this sort of motel the carpets were somewhat […] worn but the linens were changed daily and the room was cleaned thoroughly. I will stay here again Read more

We were staying here while looking for a place to live prior to a cross-country move. The staff helped us with knowledge of the town, with contacting realtors and landlords and with any other needs we needed. It was among the most helpful staffs we've ever encountered, and a completely opposite experience to our stay at a Super 8 in Hannibal the night […] before our arrival in Indianola. It's all about the management, and the management here instep-notch. Read more
