We booked the Country Inn & Suites over a year in advance so that we wouldn't have such a long drive from Des Moines, and it was worth it. There isn't anything within walking distance of the hotel, so a car is necessary. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so you will have to carry your suitcase upstairs; be sure to let the hotel know if a disability or anything would keep you from bringing your bag upstairs so you can stay on the ground floor. The hotel provides free breakfast which has the standard eggs, breakfast meat and some carbs. The rooms are pretty tired but they were otherwise clean and functional. The gym was a decent size with a couple of cardio machines, some free weights and one weight machine.

This roadside motel is a lovey throwback to old Americana roadside motels that was a little slice of heaven. Foor $60, we reserved a king size room, which had a microwave, a mini fridge, great wifi and cable TV (important as I don't typically sleep well and use the TV to fall asleep). They also had a continental breakfast room with OJ, coffee, fruit, yogurt and honey buns. As a person with insomnia, I have to tell you, I had the best night's sleep that I'd had in ages! The mattress was comfortable, and the bedding was so soft and smelled fantastic (I'm aware that sounds weird, but I have sensory issues...so much so that I spoke to the owner in the morning when we checked out about where she purchased the bedding and the type of laundry detergent they use.) When we checked in, they recommended a local restaurant for dinner, the Sundown Bar & Grill, and I am so glad we went to dinner there! I cannot recommend this motel more! From their friendly staff, and comfortable rooms, to their fun decor and beautiful grounds (picnic tables & Adirondack chairs), I will definitely stay here again when we travel through this area. Every roadside Motel should try to be as awesome as this place.

Until I noticed my carpet was wet under the ac unit. Upon further inspection there was mold growing on it as well. I called the front desk and he gently scolded me for not telling him when I check in so he could have someone clean it for me. Really? He gave us the handicapped room which had a queen sized bed. It was a bit more updated so I was happy with it until I noticed the shower and tub was not clean. So if I had asked them to clean the other room it would not have been done properly anyway. It has a pool which made the second room extremely muggy, it was also raining which didn't help. Lastly, breakfast would have been great if their microwave worked to heat up the cold omelettes offered. So we paid for a King bed and got a queen, no price reduction and no apologies for having to change rooms. We won't be back.

This is a pet friendly facility and they conveniently placed my hubby and I right by the outer door, so it was easy to take our pup, Bailey, in and outside as she needed. The room was spacious and well taken care of. I loved that they have makeup remover cloths with the toiletries and four pillows on each bed. Small touches, that made our stay more comfortable. There is free wifi, direct TV (HUGE bonus), and free breakfast. The only downside was that they were doing construction and it was a bit messy. All in all, this is a solid spot and I would highly recommend if you are needing a place to stay while you are in Marshalltown.

Here's what I sent on Facebook messenger - if only just to make my tired butt feel better. ***** I have had the worst stay at Knoxville Iowa location & the management told me to contact you by finding my own number to contact you. What kind of business are you guys running here? We have 2 rooms checking in yesterday to today - and have had nothing but issues. Dirty towels, broken toilet (non-stop running), family of 10 above us (8 kids - they took up the entire pool & left us the hot tub) no breakfast by 8:41am, loud mattresses and...no $25 gift card as promised by your website when I made the reservations. I have called the reservation line & they told me that I "should" get an email in 48 hours but I AM TIRED. No sleep since 4:30 am. The management was no help at each step. The only thing they helped me with was the dirty towels. This hotel is not even full. The "manager" or blond haired lady told me to find my own customer service online. No compassion for someone who is terribly tired and underserved. We spent over $300 staying here - and need some customer service. Is there any or is this it? My final review - Stay in Pella. It is not that much further & you will get way better service. And...don't fall for any deals made on the website - each site is privately owned & refuses to participate. Caveat Emptor

The Motel was definitely cheap for the stay. However luckily I was only in the motel for a few…read morehours at night for the two night stay. It was definitely not an appealing place. The pictures will show more than my words. I will say the person at the front desk was polite, and helpful, but that's where the good ended. The motel smelled like cigarette smoke, even in my non smoking room, which left me smelling like cigarettes. The hallways were dirty as well. My first room they assigned was not clean at all, the second room was better but not great either, still dirty but cleaner than the last. St that point I needed to just get to the wedding I was attending as a groomsmen, and I didn't want to play room roulette any more. Again the pictures of the room will show the state of the room. The "Continental" breakfast was best described all prepackaged items and cereal. It was a disgrace to call it a continental breakfast by the least. All in all, if you need a quick and cheap place to stay at and a decent bed, and your not going to spend a lot of time at the motel, then go ahead and book it. Also, if you don't mind people coming up to your car asking for change and or a ride then book it. I was very disappointed and have stayed at a few other econo lodges and this by far has to be the worst.
