“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

2 adults and a teenager stayed overnight at the motel while traveling for Christmas. It's not fancy but was clean and comfortable. We didn't need them but it had a nice sized refrigerator and a microwave. The breakfast the provide was very good. My daughter wanted to buy the fuzzy blankets they have in the beds. We had a little trouble with the website but when I spoke with the lady at the front desk she was very helpful!

“Great Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Soft water, adjustable shower head, white towels, comfortable bed and pillows.
Breakfast-biscuits and gravy, simple donuts, waffles, boiled eggs,Great
We didn't get in until midnight and (because we had called in the evening and told them we would be late) were greeted by name by a very friendly and helpful clerk.
Definitely would stay again if we were in the area.

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

A bed, pillows, hot water, working internet and no bugs.

Nothing bad, nothing great....just very average and after driving 500 miles, someplace to crash for the evening to make a quick start in the morning.

“Very nice Super 8”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

This could possibly be the nicest Super 8 I have stayed in. The just recently remodeled the hotel. Only downside like many Super8's in the midwest is that they don't have an elevator. Other than that there is plenty of parking, etc. If you are using a GPS use Clive for the town not Des Moines.

Room Tip: I was in Rm 203, It is close to a door and you have a full view of the parking lot.
