I was not certain about booking at a Super 8 as I was not only making reservations for my husband and I but my brother and sister-in-law too. I've not always had the best experience with Super 8 but I was pleasantly surprised. The owners were very friendly and helpful upon checking in. The check-in area and breakfast area were... More

DON'T BE AFRAID to stay at this location! I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in because the inside was neat & clean and so was my room. I was impressed that the entire carpet had been vacuumed wall to wall and there was nothing in the bathroom that frightened me off. I hadn't stayed at a Super 8 for... More

Clean hotel, nice rooms -- this property was renovated in 2011 and the rooms are very nice. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, and the popcorn was available each evening as noted on the sign by the fron desk. More

Quite satisfied first visit, after this probably won't return. Reserved king, given 2 queens in far wing- so why bother. No reason given. Hairdryer had been ripped out of wall in room not replaced. Robe hook in bathroom ripped out. Local channels unwatchable with static. Whirlpool out of order. Amenities promised not provided- no pop corn or cookies as noted... More

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... More

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... More

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. More

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. More

Stayed here because it was only trip advisor hotel on the west side of des moines and ratings were pretty good. Honestly for the rate I expected a very basic near-highway motel, but it's in a nice location and has obviously been very recently remodeled. Room is quite nice. Would be happy in any case, and for the price I'm... More
