Incredible Integrity – Staff Went Above and Beyond! We are beyond grateful for the incredible team at the Country Inn & Suites in Indianola. My son accidentally left his wallet behind, and the honesty and effort shown by the staff were truly remarkable. A huge thank you to Adam, Rebekah, Ashley, and Kat for their kindness and for going the extra mile to ensure the wallet was found and safely mailed back to him. It is rare to find such a dedicated and trustworthy group of people. They turned a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience. We can’t recommend this hotel enough—not just for the stay, but for the wonderful people who run it!
Room was nice, but the shower head would not stay engaged. Thankfully, I only needed to wash my hair. Would've been annoying, if not impossible, to shower. Otherwise, the beds were comfortable, the staff was very helpful and the breakfast was good. Might have just been our room that had the issue.
Hotel was very convenient to get to and the staff was friendly to associate with. The rooms were clean but the air did not work very well and there was no cable TV for our entire stay. This made our stay not as good as it could have been.
The staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the bathroom smelled good. Breakfast was delicious. We were on the second floor, and our neighbors from the third floor just walked with heavy steps. On the second floor, we heard every step they took around the room.
I have stayed in this hotel twice and had a great experience both times. It's easy to access from the highway, the rooms are clean, and everything is modern and up to date without being too over the top or fancy.
We got married in Indianola in June and had several rooms booked! They did an amazing job accommodating all of us. My husband and I had separate rooms on Friday and a joint one for Saturday. They placed our room at the top of the list for cleaning so we could move our things in on Saturday morning! Very grateful for their attention to detail. They also had a nice breakfast and others enjoyed the pool! We were able to use the conference room to open gifts the next day as well with no additional charges. Thank you!
Fantastic 1 bedroom suite with kitchen for a great price! Very clean and quiet! Loved my stay here!
The only real drawback is you can hear everything in the hallway, people walking down it.If you're walking down it , you can hear everyone's conversation in the hotel rooms other than that it was a nice stay.
Set in a residential area surrounded by farmland, this casual hotel is a mile from both Route 65 and the National Balloon Museum, and 5 miles from the Summerset Winery.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
