My husband called the hotel directly to make a reservation, when he was quoted a price, he realized he would get it cheaper online, so he made the reservation online. My Mother, myself and my two children were the registered guests. When I checked in, I asked the clerk for a reciept to which he rudely replied "No", because I had "booked online." That was a new one to me. The hotel lobby and rooms were clean, but the service was HORRIBLE! There was rarely anyone at the desk, morning and afternoon hours! You had to pick up a phone and call someone to come to the desk. There were 4 guests in our room and only two towels. When I went to the front desk to ask for more towels, I was told "there are already towels in your room", I explained there were only two and we needed at least 4. I was told, "the rooms is double occupancy, there are three in there." I told him...no there are two. He stared at me like I was lying! He then proceeded to walk to a room and unlock it and begrudgingly hand me two towels! The pool didn't seem to be working, the pool room itself had no air conditioning(or else it was broke), none of the filters seemed to be running and their was no smell of chlorine or pool chemicals at all, in fact the water smelled musty. We tried it, but got out when my kids and mother started pulling cigarette butts out of the pool. At about 4pm, another family member and her children(they live in the area) came to the hotel to see us, about 5 minutes after she arrived, we received a phone call from the front desk saying, "I hear children, what is going on up there?" Now at this time, there were only about 3 cars in the parking lot, it was in the afternoon and we were disturbing no one. I later realized that our room was directly above what I assume was the clerk's(who I assume is also the owner) living quarters. I assume this clerk, who was so rude, is the owner as he is the only one we ever saw at the desk, and when we would have to call for anything, he was the one who came out of that living area.

We stayed for one night after Bike Night on the square. Decent place to stay, clean, normal Super 8 breakfast, staff friendly, comfortable beds and pillows, and great location...right on 69/65. Will stay again.

Things have changed at this Super 8 since the previous reviews were written!

We stayed at the Super 8 in Indianola on June 18th. We had looked at the motel options (there are only a couple in town) in January as we were making recommendations for friends who were coming into town for a wedding. We were impressed with the Super 8. They have undergone renovations within the past year and it shows. I have included pictures of our room (Room 115). The room was clean and ready upon check-in. The room had a refrigerator, mini-microwave, and a coffee maker. The sink area is separate (outside) the bathroom. I would also state that several friends also stayed here and two stated they had great rooms, but one stated her room had a bit of an odor.

The morning breakfast was standard fare for a Super 8. Coffee, juice, cereal, pastries, and waffles. All was good. There is also an indoor pool, but we did not use it. It looked fine. There was no hot tub or whirl pool in the pool area that we could see.

Overall, it was a fine hotel. Clean and comfortable. I would recommend this Super 8 if staying in Indianola.

This hotel is in bad shape. It used to be pretty decent when it was a different hotel under different ownership. It is now smelly, dirty, and run down. The carpet is disgusting and all the chairs in the room and breakfast area are stained and grungy. The rooms smell like old smokey rooms that have been sprayed with some generic/cheap air freshner. You are way better off staying in Greenwood or Greenville at one of the Best Western's or Hampton Inn's.
