This is our go to stay when we are in Indianola to see our kids. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that so e places have bit that is not our dialog. For the price it is great. Staff is always friendly, breakfast is good. Love the apples and coffee available all the time. Even though it is now the highway it is quite. The lobby is great for extended conversation too.

Nice local hotel

Short trip to Indianola for a few days of work. Chose to stay at the Hotel Pommier because of the reviews and the local flair of the place. Everything was good accept for the refrigerator. Understandably the hotel turns them off when rooms are not in use to save on electricity, however there was a very distinct and unpleasant odor coming from the fridge. The odor did improve as the fridge cooled back down, but it made an impression.

Last minute stay with grand kiddos.

We stayed over night at the last minute. Price was good and everything was fine. I would suggest to use more fabric softener, because sheets were scratchy and I ask for queen beds but I think the beds were only full. That was disappointing. Breakfast was adequate. Overall it was a good stay.
