Unbelievable Deals: Mt. Pleasant, IA's BEST Super 8!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the… well, let's just call it "Unbelievable Deals: Mt. Pleasant, IA's BEST Super 8!" I mean, the name alone… right? Let's see if this Super 8 actually lives up to the hype, because honestly, the expectation is kinda… low. But hey, every budget traveler hopes for a hidden gem, so let's see if we find a jewel in the rough. And I'm writing this for you – the weary traveler, the bargain hunter, the one who appreciates a decent cup of coffee and a clean(ish) room.
Accessibility & Safety: The Bare Minimum - with a Few Bright Spots
Alright, so, accessibility. This is where my inner critic sighs slightly. They say they have facilities for disabled guests… which usually means the bare minimum. No specific details are really given here, and that's always a gamble. What did catch my eye was the 24-hour front desk and security. That's comforting, especially if you're rolling in late or traveling solo, or just… you know, feeling a little freaked out by the Iowa night. Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, that kind of thing – good! They have the basics, which, honestly, is better than some places. The CCTV cameras around the property are always a plus, giving off a sense of security.
On the cleanliness front, this is where you hope the "Unbelievable Deals" part isn’t a euphemism for “questionable hygiene.” They’re boasting about anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and room sanitization between stays. That's the bare minimum nowadays, and I really hope they are actually following through. They also supposedly offer room sanitization opt-out… which is a nice touch for those of us who are sensitive to cleaning chemicals.
The Room: Comfort and Amenities - No Promises
Okay, the rooms. What can we expect? Well, they claim to have everything listed. Seriously. Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Every single item on that list? We shall soon find out. It's the basics: a desk, a coffee/tea maker (essential, and my personal make or break), a refrigerator, and, thankfully, a hair dryer. That's crucial, unless you want to be that person with the perpetually wet hair. The “extra-long bed” is also a plus. I'm tall, so appreciate it. There's a decent amount of amenities included in the room; like alarm clock, coffee/tea maker, hair dryer, and more.
Here's a tip, from someone who's been there: always check the water pressure in the shower immediately. And the Wi-Fi. Always.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Low Expectations, Hopefully Beaten
The "Unbelievable Deals" part makes me skeptical of what they'll have in the way of food and snacks. The promise is a free buffet breakfast, which is always worth the price of entry. Asian breakfast? I'm intrigued, even if I'll probably stick to the usual. And the coffee shop is a nice option, especially if the free breakfast brew is… questionable. There's a snack bar and, ahem, room service [24-hour]. Room service at a SUPER 8? That's surprising. My expectations are now, dare I say, raised slightly! However, you'll still want to see what's available. If I can get a decent, hot meal at any hour, then that's a huge win in my book.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Don't Get Your Hopes Up
Okay, spa, sauna, steamroom, fitness center, and a pool with a view? In a Super 8 in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa? Color me highly skeptical. I'm willing to be wrong, mind you. The pool itself is important – a good way to cool off and relax after driving. The "fitness center" is probably a treadmill and some rusty dumbbells. The "spa" I am willing to bet, includes nothing. Unless "stress relief" is considered a relaxing feature. Unless you count the actual act of staying in a Super 8 a form of relaxation. That would be something.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras (or Lack Thereof)
They have the standard conveniences: daily housekeeping, laundry service (thank god), and a convenience store. They offer a luggage storage, a safe in your room and a currency exchange. However they may have an optional service of food delivery. If you're in a bind, a 24 hour front desk is always reliable.
For the Kids
Babysitting services? Kids' meals? Family-friendly? This could be a nice perk for those traveling with children. I'd be curious to know if the pool is actually kid-friendly, cause that is another one of my primary factors in a hotel.
Getting Around: The Essentials
Free on-site parking is a must nowadays. They also have a car-power charging station, which is a very nice touch for EV drivers. Taxi service… hey, if you've had a few drinks at, uh, the non-existent bar (probably).
My Honest Emotional Reaction
Look, I go into these deals expecting the bare minimum. The promise of an unbelievable experience raises the bar. I'm cautiously optimistic. This Super 8 seems to have the basics, and maybe even a few surprising perks.

Escape to Luxury: Kinston's Red Carpet Inn & Suites Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're doing this Super 8 by Wyndham Mt Pleasant, IA thing. Not exactly the South of France, but hey, everyone needs a little Mt. Pleasant in their life, right? This ain't your perfectly curated Instagram feed, folks; this is life, with all its glorious, messy imperfections.
Day 1: Arrival and… Well, Existence
- 1 PM - 1:30 PM: The Long Haul (and the Bathroom Break That Wasn't)
- So, picture this: I'm cruising down I-80. Not the coolest highway, but it gets you places. Of course, nature calls. And by "nature," I mean my bladder. Saw a truck stop, pulled in, ecstatic! Then… the line to the bathroom. Longer than the line for the hot dogs at a baseball game! Cue the frantic pacing, the internal battle against the inevitable… Let's just say, the journey to Mt. Pleasant started with a near disaster.
- 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM: Check-In Chaos (and the Smell of "Clean")
- Arrived at the Super 8. Okay, it's… Super 8. You know what I mean? The lobby smelled like that "clean" smell that's actually twenty different cleaning products fighting for supremacy. The front desk clerk seemed friendly, but she had this glint in her eye that said, "I've seen things." Check-in: surprisingly simple, except I nearly forgot my name, which, honestly, happens more often than I'd like to admit.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Room & The Existential Dread
- The room. Let's be real, it's a Super 8 room. Fine. The bedspread was that kind of vaguely quilted thing – you know, the kind that probably gets cleaned once a year if you're lucky. I dumped my bags, then spent a soul-searching 30 minutes staring at the TV. It's a surprisingly philosophical experience. Considering whether I should order the pizza or try the Subway nearby.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner Dilemmas and Desperate Measures
- Decision made I went ahead and ordered a pizza. Didn't disappoint but also didn't exactly blow me away. Wandered the aisles of a local grocery store. Got some Oreos, because, you know, vacation. This is when the loneliness hit. So naturally, I decided to call my mother.
- Anecdote: We had this ridiculous conversation about the meaning of life (naturally). Anyway, she ended up giving me a lecture about Vitamin D deficiency. This is now the state of my travel.
- 7:00 PM onwards: TV and Bedtime (AKA My True Purpose in Life)
- Settled in for an epic night. TV and Oreos. Watched a terrible reality show. Wondered if I was going to make it through the night without turning into a total pizza-and-reality-TV-fueled potato.
- Tried to get some sleep. The AC was either full blast or off. No in-between. I opted to sweat, because, as I mentioned: character building.
Day 2: Mt. Pleasant Adventures (and the Great Coffee Crisis)
- 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: The Breakfast Blues (and the Coffee Catastrophe)
- Oh, the buffet. Standard Super 8 fare. Waffles, questionable eggs, and the coffee… the coffee was a crime against humanity. So, you know, perfect. Seriously though, how can you mess up coffee THIS badly? It tasted like burnt dirt. I'm writing a strongly worded letter to corporate.
- 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Attempting to do Something "Cultural"
- Okay, the plan was to check out the Midwest Old Threshers show (if it was open). But it was just closed up. Decided to roam around and look for a coffee shop.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Rambling Downtown
- Mt. Pleasant's downtown. The kind of place that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time… in a good way? Maybe? Had a charming, old-fashioned feel.
- Quirky Observation: Saw a guy really into his lawn art. Like, garden gnomes and stuff, but on a grand scale. Absolutely committed. It was inspirational.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch & Contemplation
- Found a diner. Solid. Nothing fancy. But… the waitress was named "Ethel." ETHEL! This is the kind of experience you just can't make up.
- Emotional Reaction: I felt content. For a brief moment. The air conditioning was on.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Return to the Room/ Existential Dread 2.0
- The afternoon slump. Back to the Super 8. More TV. Wondering if I should re-evaluate my life. I was thinking, "I'm a traveler, this is my life."
- Ramble: I mean, who am I kidding? It's not like I'm some intrepid explorer.
- 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner & Evening Entertainment (AKA My Darkest Hour)
- Decided on a steak dinner at a place with a very old-school vibe. The steak. It was fine. The waiter, though… he reminded me of my grandpa. In a not-so-good way.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: I think that the steak place turned out to be a mistake. It was very quiet. The food wasn't amazing. I was very alone.
- Messier Structure I went to bed early.
Day 3: Departure
- 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Breakfast (and Goodbye Coffee)
- Same coffee. Same existential dread about it.
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Final thoughts
- Packed, checked out, and hit the road. Mt. Pleasant, you were… something.
- 9:00 AM onwards: On to the next adventure
- Heading home. I'm not sure when the pizza and the Oreos will end. I think I may have a problem.
Rating: 2.5/5 Stars
Mt. Pleasant? It's not Paris, but it has a certain charm. I found it. I found myself. I found a new appreciation for quality coffee (and the importance of a good bathroom). Would I go back? Maybe… for the Ethel and the lawn art. And maybe to finally conquer that coffee. The journey, as they say, is the destination. And in this case, the journey was filled with pizza, a few existential crises, and a whole lot of mediocre coffee. Worth it.
Charlotte's BEST Home2 Suites? (I-77 South - Unbelievable!)
Is this *really* the "BEST" Super 8? Because I’ve seen some Super 8s… let's just say, less than stellar.
Alright, alright, let's be brutally honest right out of the gate. "Best" is a *highly* subjective term, isn't it? Look, I've seen Super 8s that looked like they were prepping for a zombie apocalypse. And then I've seen others that were… well, still felt like a Super 8. This one? It’s… surprisingly decent. Okay, maybe not Michelin Star-worthy, but for the price, and for Mt. Pleasant, Iowa? Yeah, it holds its own. It's like the quirky, slightly off-kilter friend who still manages to be charming. You know? You get me? Look, I once stayed in a place where the *bathtub* had more character than most people. This one, thank goodness, doesn’t assault your senses. Usually.
What kind of "Unbelievable Deals" are we talking about? Do they actually exist?
Okay, the "Unbelievable" part? That's marketing, folks. Let's be real. But they *do* have deals. Like, I snagged a room for a ridiculously low price once – it was probably the off-season, or maybe the hotel gods were smiling on me. I'm talking "less than a decent pizza" price, you know? The kind of deal that makes you suspect they’re hiding something… like a black market for… I don't even know. Anyway, check their website, sign up for those emails, and pray to the discount gods. They DO happen. Just, you might have to be patient, kinda like me waiting for the waffle maker to heat up on a Saturday morning.
Is the breakfast as depressing as every other Super 8 breakfast? Be honest, I can handle the truth.
Okay, the breakfast... this is where we enter the emotional zone. Alright? Here's the lowdown: it's not *gourmet*. It's… a Super 8 breakfast. Think: pre-packaged pastries the texture of packing peanuts, questionable coffee that’s either hotter than the sun or ice cold, and a waffle maker that might or might not be working. The waffle maker is a coin flip, I swear. One time, I saw this kid, maybe seven years old, absolutely *crushed* because it wasn’t working. His face…heartbreaking, I'm telling you. So, yeah, the breakfast is… an experience. Manage your expectations. Bring your own Nutella. And maybe a therapist. Just kidding… mostly.
Let's talk about the rooms. Are they… clean? Like, *actually* clean? I'm a germaphobe, please help me.
Alright, germaphobes, breathe. No, it's not a sterile operating room. I’m not going to lie to you. BUT, in my experience, the rooms are usually okay. Like, "legit could sleep in the bed without getting the heebie-jeebies" okay. Now, I’m not saying there haven’t been *minor*… irregularities in my past stays. A stray hair here, a questionable stain there. But nothing that’s sent me running for the hills. Just… inspect your bedspread. And maybe bring your own Lysol wipes? Just in case. You know, for peace of mind.
What's the Wi-Fi situation? Gotta stay connected, you know?
The Wi-Fi. Ah, the bane of modern travel! Okay, it's… functional. Sometimes. It’s not the blazing-fast, download-a-movie-in-two-seconds kind of Wi-Fi. It's more like… a slow, thoughtful Wi-Fi. Like a turtle deciding to cross a busy highway. If you're planning on streaming, prepare to be patient. If you're just checking email, you'll probably be fine. I once tried to watch a YouTube video and it buffered for so long I considered taking up macrame. Yes, really.
Is there a pool? Because sometimes you just NEED a pool, you know?
Oh yes, the pool. Ah, the pool. Now, from what I recall, yes! There IS a pool. I've seen it. I've smelled the chlorine. I've even… observed it from afar. I'm pretty sure it's indoors. So that's a plus, I guess! No risk of getting sunburned. No guarantee that it’s not full of rogue hotel dust bunnies. Pool…it's there. Proceed at your own risk and bring your own goggles, seriously.
How’s the location? Anything interesting nearby? Besides… Mt. Pleasant.
Mt. Pleasant. Okay, it's… Mt. Pleasant. It's not exactly the hustle and bustle of New York City, right? But! It's close to stuff. Like, you're near the Iowa State Fairgrounds, if you're into that kind of thing (fair food!), also it's a short drive to some pretty little towns, or drive the other direction, and you're in the wilds of the Midwest (bring bug spray!). It's a convenient spot for getting to wherever you need to go (and, let's be honest, it's probably the *reason* you're there in the first place, right?).
Okay, so let's say I'm IN the Super 8. What's the *vibe*? What's the *feeling* of being there?
Vibe? Feeling? Ah, now we're getting to the heart of the matter! You know, it's a particular kind of… something. It’s that slightly melancholic, slightly hopeful, slightly… *weird* vibe that you find in a lot of roadside motels. Remember that time I was there? It was raining, which I later found out, was a sign. And I'm checking in, and there's this older gentleman in front of me, and he’s arguing with the desk clerk about the price of his room (which was already…cheap). I can still see the clerk’s face, and the guy's, and how the whole scene just hung there…suspended. Then the desk clerk sighed. And then, it was my turn. It was like a theater of the absurd—and maybe that’s the beauty of it? You might see families. Road-trippers. People just passing through. Maybe you'll encounter a truly *memorable* interaction with the staff. It *is* Iowa, after all. The point is… it’s a place where stories are made. It’Unique Hotel Finds
