I stayed here the other night and I was really surprised how nice the motel was. The room I had was nice and the bed comfortable enough. You can tell it used to be another motel and come to find out it was a Comfort Inn. I thought this one was better than a lot of the others that I've... More

Our room here was gross... couldn't even see through the coffee pot it was so limed up. Bed sheets didn't fit because the elastic was so worn out and were stained, had small holes in them.When the heater would kick in, it would have a really odd, kind of rotten smell as well. The shower had little water pressure and... More

Called 6 motels in Newton and Des Moines as we were driving through Iowa late in the evening. Prices were all $69 and up. Saw the sign on the interstate and called. $62 with tax and their pet policy is fair. $10 deposit returned after the check the room for damages. So much fairer than $10 extra that they keep!... More

This Inn is terrible. Their Pool has Black Mold all over the ceiling and some on floor area. Took the staff three times to find a card key for a room that we could open and use. One of the staff knocked on the door right before check out and came right in room. This staff person never even waited... More

Stop at the exit before or after Colfax. This place wasn't worth $69. Found a coupon in the book from the gas station after I spent the night but they wouldn't honor it in the morning. Older Comfort Inn that is now a mom and pop motel. Dated decor - toss the bedspead (ugh). Pillows were awful. It was clean,... More

The breakfast was a disappointment ! They had a minimal selection and had no butter, but offered toast and English muffins . There was jelly but again no butter! Waffles but no butter. Pool was cloudy and hot tub was broken.

We stayed here for two nights, never again. At 1:00 in the morning a couple were trying to get in our room, because the desk had just assigned them the same room. We had four people in our room, but they only gave us towels for three. Then had to wait while they washed more towels in the laundry room... More

Have stayed at this motel four out of the last six years while attending the Iowa Corn 250 IRL race in Newton, IA. Up until this year it was the perfect place to stay. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly and the services were great. This was when the motel was until the Choice Hotels banner and called the Comfort... More

I was extremely disappointed in this hotel last weekend. The price was extremely inflated due to the fact it is located between Iowa Speedway and Adventureland. First of all, it says its a Comfort Inn, but I really had my doubts. Maybe it once was, but it had the feeling of a privately owned, low-funded hotel. Our reservation was for... More

Great hotel that used to be a Comfort Inn. (The sign is still on the outside of the hotel) It is a older hotel that has been maintained quite well, but you can see where the owner should spend a little more on maintenance. The pool was nice but the whirlpool and fitness facilities were not working. The room was... More
