“Better to stay in Des Moines”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

I understand that when it comes to hotels you usually get what you pay for. This did not happen with my recent visit to the Super 8 in Indianola, Iowa. Based on other hotels I have stayed at in the past for the same amount of money, this hotel was not worth what I paid. It is dirty, run down and understaffed. As far as I can tell this is the only hotel in Indianola. My advice is to stay in a hotel in Des Moines if you are going to visit Indianola.

“Clean It Up!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

They have black beetle bugs all over, including every light shade in the hallways, 6 inches of mold around the pool and a very sparse breakfast. The eating area is large but not much for seating. A little cleaning and extra exterminator vistits would make a world of difference. Stayed one week and then went to a better hotel!

“Watch out for shady dealings!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

We booked a three night stay through the Super 8 website and our confirmation said that we not be charged until checkout. When presenting my credit card at check-in, the clerk handed me a charge-slip for signature! When I asked about the procedure, he assured me that I could get a refund if we decided not to stay for the three nights. After I signed, he immediately said that the rate was based on the charges being paid upfront and that no refund could be paid under any circumstances. We ended up staying for the three nights, but I do NOT like being scammed. The cooling was not working very well and we found earwigs in the room several times. You should skip this place.

“Will NEVER stay there again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

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.
