Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Wonderful location. Lots of restaurant around to go eat at. Not far from shopping area either. Always have clean rooms and customer service is top tier. I've stayed at the hotel every week for work almost a year and have never had any issues with the rooms or location.

When I checked in there was no one at the front desk I think he was sleeping it took awhile for him to come. He is so rude!! There was someone in the room next to us raising hell all night and having sex really loud!! I reported twice a broken beer bottle against a tree outside that was still there when we checked out!! I was charged a 100.00 for a towel that I used to wiped up some root beer I spilled on the table. They say they are pet friendly but I don't think they like animals so they tried to say that it was pee and poop on the towel!!

We had issues when we checked in. Reported soon after to front desk, figured they would take care of issues. No. Third day they finally fixed the broken lamp, the bathroom fan, and the toilet lever. There was a dirty footprint (human foot) in the bathtub. The shower curtain had mildew at the bottom. There was a dark curly hair in the tub that was NOT ours. GROSS!! The door frame was loose outside the room on the knob/lock side. The door was VERY hard to open from the inside AND outside. The shower was leaking out to the corner of the floor between the tub and the wall (see picture). The shower diverter allowed a 3/16”-1/4” solid stream of water to leak at the base of the tub spout. Even when the diverter was OFF, water leaked in this area. The tub stopper did not work. The tub would not fill unless the stopper was pushed down with several pounds of force. I had wanted to soak my sore right leg and hip in the tub, being sore from a 12-hour drive, but holding down the stopped with my left heel was very stressful, and I could not hold it down for more than a few minutes. When I asked the front desk staff about a possible discount at checkout time, she said no, because we booked “through a third party”. I felt that a 10-20% discount would have been appropriate. We would NOT recommend this “hotel” at all. Ever.

Stayed here because price and location were great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was what I would expect at a Super 8. I would stay here again should I need to on a trip to Ankeny.

Quite, decent place to stay. Breakfast was small choice but very good. Front desk was polite and helpful. Was surprised at the quality. It had been several years since I stayed at a Super 8. This was a different experience.

This hotel actually charges an extra $100 to your credit card when you check in, and doesn't refund it until sometime after you check out. Hotel is older, and a little run down. Staff are friendly and helpful.

For reasons unknown, we were given a handicap-accessible room (we did not request one). The room was clean. The bathroom has been retrofitted for handicap use. However, the retrofit was done poorly. The shower curtain is too short, so there was water all over the floor. The shower head is too small and water pressure was very low, so water was literally dribbling out rather than a good spray We don't think anyone came into the room during our stay. The towel we left on the floor was not picked up, the used paper cups were not replaced, the coffee packets were not replaced. The light switch by the door did not turn on a light, but started the microwave. Although the room was clean and the lights and tv all worked as they should, there were too many negatives for us to want to stay there again.
