I arrived after 11 pm. Description says there is someone at the desk 24/7, but reality is there is phone, not a person. The person comes after you dial them on the phone. First room assignment smelled strongly of mold. Staff was kind enough to offer me an alternative that worked. I appreciated that, but honestly, the condition of this motel was not good, in general, for the price point. Again, the description said that there was free continental breakfast. There was a breakfast room, but I could find no hours of operation posted at the room. When I left the next morning around 7:30 am, the breakfast room was still dark. The room did have a refrigerator that I was grateful for. But even with that, I will find another option in the future when driving this route and needing to stop for the night.

The check in process was great and the staff pretty friendly throughout the stay. Usually external doors require a room key to enter but none of these did and the part of the door that would do that appeared to be broken on all doors leading to the outside except the main entrance.

Room/building review.

The building needs complete upgrade, bathroom showers while clean need to be re-caulked. Hallways smelled horribly, carpets need to be replaced as they are old and worn. I don’t remember seeing charging posts for cell phones and since hotel is pretty friendly, dog bags for cleanup would have been appreciated.

First off, I just want to say the staff running the place was very helpful and courteous but in the first room we were given, 2 of the lamps werent working which we found out were outlet issues. We were offered a second room which I thought would be better. Not so, the door did not lock, the hair dryer didn't work, the toilet cover was broken, there was a squishy part in the floor of the bathroom and both rooms didn't smell very good. We asked to have the manager call us about these issues the next day but that never happened. I will never stay at a Super 8 again.

It's a Super 8. I didn't expect the Taj Mahal. But my bathroom was 'hairy'. I don't think it was cleaned since the last guest or two. But the bed was very comfortable, and the rest of the facility was clean. The hotel is older and in definite need of a cosmetic makeover but everything was functional. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and it was quiet at night.

Extra guests....

Check in was easy, it definitely needs some TLC, breakfast was soso, after we saw a cockroach in the bathroom of our room, we choose to not eat any food there. I would have requested a new room but it was 1am when we saw it and had a 1yr back to sleep and a 2yr sleeping. I told the owner about it and he only seemed shock it was on the 2nd floor.

Unsatisfactory accommodation

I stayed here because it was convenient and less expensive than the only other hotel option in the immediate area. The bed was comfortable and clean. The condition of the room was disappointing. There were lightbulbs not working above the sink, only one of the four lamps in the room was functional, the outlets were very overused and loose, so much so that the plug to charge my phone fell out of the outlet or did not connect to power. There were wear marks on the headboard of the bed and on the walls in various places. When I went for breakfast, I found a dark room. Not very welcoming. This hotel has been in the area for a number of years and it is showing its age. As I stated, it was less expensive then the only other option in Anamosa, but it was overvalued for the quality of the accommodation.

I arrived here during to extreme weather and was unable to drive. It wasn't my first choice but the most convenient. I could tell when I pulled up that it was not going to be perfect, which was ok with me, I'd rather be safe in my travels. The manager was in his room when I arrived and promptly got me a room. As soon as I walked in the intense smell of raw sewage hit me like a ton of bricks. I picked up the phone to call the front desk and there was no dial tone. I walked to the front desk and he escorted me to a different room across the hall. This room smelled of mold and mildew but I was relieved it didn't smell of sewage. It smelled as if you left your clothes in the washer for 2 weeks. The bed was uncomfortable, the window was cracked, it was unkempt. There were obvious surfaces where patrons used to cut up drugs. I used Expedia to book. The next day I requested a refund through Expedia and they could not contact the property. I called the next day and the manager refused to refund my money. Don't let the 2 to 3 stars fool you, this place is garbage. I will not use Expedia in the future since they refused my refund.
