What guests think

Reviews of Super 8 by Wyndham Story City describe friendly, helpful staff and a convenient location near the interstate, alongside frequent comments about an aging, run‑down property with inconsistent upkeep and a range of maintenance problems.

Rooms are dated with limited TV options and loud bathroom fans, and comfort varies from very comfortable beds to lumpy, sagging mattresses. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of musty or smoke smells, dirty or worn carpets and linens, and damp or mold concerns, though some guests did find their rooms clean. Facilities draw complaints about a pothole‑ridden parking lot and the lack of an elevator, while the complimentary breakfast is very limited and often underwhelming. Expect a basic, no‑frills stay best suited for a short, low‑budget stopover.

The fist punched hole in the sheet rock wall next to the bed has not been repaired since I reported it for room 118 over a year ago. Though the room was reasonably clean the bed mattress sagged and was very lumpy. Mattress sheet did not fit the bed (too small and not fitted) Rat or mouse turds all over the floor at west entrance to the building. Waffle and syrup tasted so bad is was not edible.

When booking this property, I saw no mention of the fact that this property has no elevator. We were placed on the 2nd floor and had to carry all our stuff up stairs. I have two bad knees and stairs are very difficult to navigate, even more so with heavy luggage. Had I known there was no elevator, I never would have considered this property in the first place. The front desk has a sign stating the property was sold out, so there was no hope of changing to a ground floor room. The only thing reasonable about this property was the price, but only in comparison to nicer properties in Ames.

Terrible place. Reservation was for a king bed but only had a double bed room for us. Old, smelly, and room was dirty. Mold in bathroom, bedspread had holes, and the morning “breakfast” was pathetic. Torn window screens. Parking lot broken concrete. Dirty and old hall carpet. And it cost $184!! Don’t stay here and we won’t consider a Super 8 if this is an example of what they’re like.

From the outside the property appears abandoned. Inside the smell of dampness and pets. Carpet worn and dirty. Tile cracked. Spider on ceiling. Toliet smelled of urine. No drinking cups in room. Sheets thread bare. Window would not lock, thin dowel rod instead. Beer was left in refrigerator, not okay for a person in recovery.

Our tv came with 4 separate remotes; that I had to go individually get that each controlled a separate function on the tv. There were homeless people hanging out by our car everytime we went outside. No shower curtain in the bathroom, even after I asked to to have one brought to our room. Mold on the bed skirt. Highly recommend this hotel👍

I was staying in town for work and this was a very convenient location. Overall, the front desk person was very friendly, the room was cleaned well, but unfortunately, there was a bit of a musty odor, in the room I stayed in had two substantial cracks in the base of the tub that clearly leaks water, and you had to be careful not to cut your foot on it. The bed was actually more comfortable than some of the higher in the hotels I had stayed in earlier in the week and the week before. If you're not looking for anything can see, but want something quiet and comfortable, it's definitely priced right!

Credit card machine wasn’t working so we had to get cash. Remotes for tv don’t work, you have to get right up behind the tv to change channels and even then it doesn’t work well. Whirlpool tub had scum all over it. Sheets and comforter smelt like mold, whole room smelt like mold. Don’t stay here. Worst experience of my life.

The property is rundown inside and out. Inside the building there was an odd odor, luckily only in the halls and not in our room. The mattress wasn’t terrible, the linens were very thin though. The only light for the bathroom also turns on the bathroom vent which was extremely loud. Staff was friendly and the early check-in was appreciated.

It is a Super8 so don't expect it to be nice. Dirty worn carpet. Old linens. Old thread bare blanket peppered with holes. Minimal poor selection for breakfast. Yogurt, cereal and packaged low quality pastries. Would not stay again. We normally stay at much nicer chains like Best Western etc. But we were here for Iowa State grad and prices were sky high everywhere. We needed 2 nights. Total was $360.
