We checked out TripAdvisor's reviews on this place before staying. Very glad we did. We found the positive reviews to be accurate. I tried to make my reservation online but had a a glitch so called Bill directly. He was able to give me a better rate and he was very pleasant. We noticed he had won several customer service...

My wife and I have been to this motel probably 4-6 times over the past 7 years when passing through Winterset. Bill who is the Manager remembers us every time. How he does this is amazing with all of the people who pass through this establishment. The rooms are always clean and the place is well taken care of. This... More

My wife and I were returning to Arkansas from Canada and decided to exit off the the Interstate and check out the Bridges of Madison County. The people of Winterset, IA were all so friendly. Bill Thede is the manager of the Super 8 and he couldn't have been a better host. Very friendly and helpful. The motel is not... More

So, on August 26th, it was only fitting that we be greeted in the lobby of the Winterset Super 8 by a rifle-toting John Wayne cutout.

On the weekend of June 11th my wife to be and I were getting married in Winterset iowa. A year in advance we met up with Bill (GM of the motel) and discussed having him block off the entire motel for us and our guests. We both come from large families and booking all 32 rooms would not be an... More

Everything was fine my three nights there. Nice town, too. Very friendly. More

There are a couple of unpleasant reviews on this site. I can only believe that they had some bad experiences on their way here. My wife and I don't travel much but we usually stay at Super 8s, and we found Bill's operation to be very good. It is an older unit but very well-maintained--clean grounds, kept up, clean rooms,...
