We paid $43 (without tax) for a very small room, with a comfortable (and a nice comforter) queen sized bed. Inside corridors that had no distinct odors. The only thing I didn't like was hauling our stuff up one flight of stairs (I prefer a room on the first floor, but they were all out). Our room was on the tiny side but it had everything we could ask for. Comfortable queen sized bed with a very nice comforter and clean, comfy sheets. The headboard was made out of solid wood and looked brand new. The two pictures on the wall reminded me of a dark forest with filtering sunlight, very peaceful! A desk with a comfortable office chair (my husband loves to relax on chair - with arms - after a long, long drive)! This worked! There was an iron/board (didn't need one, but had one). A pull down luggage rack to hold our suitcase. A dresser and a flat screen (with many, many channels), an ice bucket (with a working ice maker on the first floor!), a mini fridge and microwave. Also had a coffee pot with a couple of packets of coffee. The carpeting seemed very clean and the room didn't smell funny like other hotel rooms seem to. The curtains were black out curtains and very little light shined through in the morning. The "in wall" older air conditioner had a thermostat that kept the room very cool. The bathroom had a small granite sink and bowed shower curtain (so the shower curtain never touched you when you took a shower). They provided soap and shampoo and decent towels. The water pressure was excellent with great hot water. The tile needs to be re-caulked (but what does one want for $43?). We wanted to eat at the Perkins that was right next door so we didn't enjoy their breakfast. The breakfast included donuts, raisin bread, white and wheat bread for toast and bagels with butter/cream cheese. Waffle maker for two small waffles with Mrs. Buttersworth's syrup. Coffee, tea, orange and apple juice. They also served cheese omelets that could be warmed up. It looked great! I wished we would have eaten there instead at Perkins! We had a very comfortable, nice stay at the this very clean Super 8 in Newton, Iowa and when we are passing through, we hope to stop there again! read more
