Super 8 by Wyndham Anamosa IA

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.

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.

The heater in room did not work. Cold night. They did bring a small heater.

Our room smelled nasty and there were a bunch of flies in it. Neither of us even wanted to walk around the room bare foot. There wasn't even one picture on the wall. Just holes where they used to be.

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.

Old fashioned. No attention. The phone in my room was marked #212 even though we were in 213.

The only nice thing I have to say about this place is I was able to have a hot shower. I checked in late (about 10pm) and the front desk person seemed very inconvenienced as they mentioned I was the last check-in and it was late and they wanted to go to bed. The room was very musty smelling and humid. The bathroom toilet rim had urin on it, the tub calking was dirty and cracked, the shower curtain wouldnt stay closed because the rod was installed incorrectly. They had exactly 2 towels for me and my boyfriend but only 1 washcloth. There were 2 bulbs burned out along the vanity. Only 2 of the 3 lamps worked and one of those lamps had a blue light bulb so it was hard to see in the room and one of the lamp shades had stains all over it. There was bubbling and peeling paint on the wall around the AC unit. In order to fluch the toilet you had to hold the handle down until after it flushed completely. I didnt trust the clenliness of the bedding or anything in the room for that matter. Our door wouldn't latch shut so we had to slam it multiple times (which obviously irritated other guests and another guest showed me a trick to close the door quietly explaining the doors dont fit right in the door jams so you had to lift up on the handle and push the top of the door in to get it to close and latch. The only reason I stayed was because the only other hotel in town was completely booked. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

There was mold all around the window and on the back of the curtain. There was a very musty smell. The toilet had urine spots all around the top. Tub had hair in it. Ran to Walmart up the road and bought lysol. It helped some. It is very deceiving from photos. Not a place we would ever go back to.
