Review of Super 8 2*

My boyfriend and I stayed here for Valentines. We knew going into it that it's not the Ritz, but as with everything in life, we have standards, some higher than others. We got a king bed room and at $70/night we thought it should at least be clean with comfortable accommodations. We were (hardly) greeted by a grumpy lady & a terrible smell (which seemed to be everywhere in the hotel). As we looked for our room (trying not to breath) it was dark and kinda creepy — as only half of the hallway lights worked, with some flickering. Upon entering the room it wasn't perfect, didn't look vacuumed and the smell was still everywhere, but we thought it didn't look THAT bad. Then we found dirty towels in the bathroom (gross) and cigarette burns on the sink! When we went to check out the view, we realized the window didn't fully close… in winter… So we turned on the heater and it worked, kind of, in a partially broken, obnoxiously loud kind of way. The fridge didn't look too bad, until we saw what seemed to be mold… good thing we only had soda to put in there. We were excited about having a hotel bed to lounge and sleep on, until we felt how uncomfortable it was! That's a big deal for me, I would have been able to deal with everything else if only the bed would have been decent! We had three small pillows, my boyfriend said it was like laying his head on a plastic bag full of leaves. Lol Another thing that was kind of a big deal, only because I love ice, is that the only ice machine they have had no ice… that was unacceptable to me. (I had to drive to somewhere to get ice) After being there a while I went to get something from the car and returned to the room to find that my key card didn't work anymore. Luckily my boyfriend was still in there. We tried both key cards several times, but they must have been deactivated or something. Overall it was a very disappointing stay and I would absolutely NOT recommend staying at this Super 8 location unless it's your absolute last resort.
