Review of Super 8 by Wyndham Fountain 2*

It wasn't unsleepable, but it is really bad. I can't speak of breakfast, because I was unwilling to eat anything in that building. As for the rest, here goes: I arrived around 9pm and was surprised to learn that on a Monday, they only had one room left. A suite, of course. The manager was very nice and gave it to me at 99 dollars. It is regularly 130 dollars. There was a very nice new lady, learning her job from the slowest, most unconcerned, rude without being mean, old, crotchety woman I have ever met. As I was waiting for them to finish with the woman in front of me, 3 people already renting rooms walked up. One asked for toilet paper (REALLY!? ), the next asked for a plunger (oh, my), and the last came to complain that their television was broken. This all happened in the 10-15 minute span I was in the lobby. I knew that my night was not going to be great. The suite was located at the end of the building on the first floor, NEXT TO THE EXIT DOOR. I was constantly woke up starting at 6am from people talking and slamming that door. It probably wouldn't have been that bad if it wasn't for my door being extremely warped, letting in light and sound. The room was pretty big, and the bed was actually quite comfortable, except for the pillows which were too hard, or too soft. One consistency they shared was lumpyness. The sheet had a small blood stain on it which looked fresh but I didn't want to think about. The air in the room was stale and everything seemed not quite clean, coming across random hairs every time you reached for something. For a 130 a night suite, it was extremely plain. No refrigerator, no microwave, no usb ports. Not even an alarm clock. Side note: every other Super 8 room I've ever rented, suite or no, has had a fridge and microwave. There was a coffee pot on a huge counter, making me think that it had all of these amenities at one time, and a telephone. There was a old couch and a coffee table facing the wall where a very small television was mounted to the wall. The television was fixed, so you couldn't turn it to watch TV from bed. You had to sit on the couch. If you took your shoes off and walked on the carpet, it felt like what I imagine walking on an open faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich would feel like. THE ROOM HAD A JACUZZI! I guess this is why the room is so expensive! It is old, chipping and not quite clean, but the jets worked and the water was hot. All and all, the room was sub par in every way. But, hey. I had two rolls of toilet paper, and never needed a plunger. I recommend driving the extra 10 miles or so into Colorado Springs to find better options. Exit 138 (Circle Dr. ) has a ton.
