We have stayed at this property a few other times while spending time in Indianola, and have always been satisfied. Since our last stay they have done some updating including new flooring and fixtures, which was needed and appreciated. We like having breakfast included in our stay, however, this time we were disappointed that the scrambled eggs were lukewarm at best, even though we ate shortly after breakfast started at 6:00 a.m. Other than that we were very happy and definitely will stay there again when we are in the area.

Great sleep

The hotel was very accomodating to our needs. We have some mobility issues, and the check in attendent was so helpful. We have stayed here three times, and this was by far the best stay yet. We loved the pillows and the bed.
