“Recently Renovated and it Shows. Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

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.

“Nasty!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2008

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.

“Yuck”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2007

The hotel staff is very nice but the place is a bit run down. The 2nd night we stayed we got back to the hotel & as soon as you opened the outside doors there was the nastiest smell in both the lower & upper corridors. It was still there the next day! Also, the rooms had a stale smoky order but I was able to get a spray sanitizer from one of the staff members & that took it mostly away.

“...out of the movies”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2006

This place is so bad it is like a movie. It fills up for graduations at the local college, but beware. It is a one star hotel for a reason. There are better places up in Des Moines.
