Don't be fooled by the very well-kept exterior or the beautiful indoor pool: This Super 8 is one to be avoided. My lesson learned was to inspect the room before I rent it, and somehow I thought that that would not be necessary with this chain. The problem was not with cleanliness (aside from the large spider on the floor... More

First stop on our way to relocating west. The first hotel was sold out, the second had one room left for $89. Found out that the high school graduation was the next day. S8 "only have a suite for $129". Started to walk out to go to the 2nd hotel and were asked the price of #2. Told them $79.... More

The hotel is old and a little creepy but I'm also not used to staying in this price range of hotels, so part of that is my own fault! The bed was "wavy", and the room was also a little creepy but I was okay with it once I adjusted my expectations. Then, just as we were climbing into bed... More

The room was not clean and they didn't even have sheets to fit the beds. There was a lost little boy who walked out of a room in the morning and the houskeeping person cleaning on that floor ignored his screams. When I took him to the front desk for help they just looked at me. I'm glad I took... More

If you are looking for just a bed...this is the place. They do have a pool, so I guess if your travels include younger ones, that would be nice. Nothing spectacular about this hotel, but it worked for our needs. We wished that we could have parked by our room, but the parking lot does not go around building. Breakfast... More

Our family was passing through on our way back from vacation and we were horribly tired and needed to sleep. It was 2 a.m. when we stopped. When we walked in, the front desk attendant was sprawled out on the lobby chair snoring. We got our key and went to the other entrance. It was completely bare, just a trash... More

I stayed one night on my way west.Motel is not bad for Super8 but it like in a cow field nothing around there but farms.I found the rates way too high for location.I was told it was grads weekend and that was why the rates were high but only about 40% of the rooms were occupied.Rip off i think.

We woke to bed bugs. When my husband went to the front desk they replied, "oh not again. ". My husband called the owner who failed to report the last incidence. We will be contacting the health authorities.

We stayed at this hotel as we were traveling thru the midwest on our way to Rapid City ,SD. Motel was very clean although it was beginning to show some signs of its age. The front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was more than adequate. Waffles, juice, cereal, etc. We would definitely stay here again.
