Review of Super 8 2*

Stayed one night. Read reviews about bed bugs (unfortunately after having made our reservations) so we gave the room a thorough once over before settling in. Happy to report no bugs (except for the dead roach under the couch). However, it was still the kind of place I wanted to keep my shoes on to walk around in. The room had neither the mini-fridge nor the microwave that the website claimed each room has. The room also had a musty smell and someone had tied a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Also, the TV was broken. When I reported all of this in the morning during check out, they sounded surprised, and surmised that someone must have stolen the fridge and microwave (somehow, I suppose, after being cleaned and before we checked in? ) but judging by some other reviews I've seen, I have a feeling ours wasn't the only room without. In the hotel's defense, they told me that had I asked for a new room, they would have given me one. Since we checked in after 11pm and since we were checking out in the morning, we didn't bother. The AC worked great though. Unfortunately, there wasn't really a comforter on the bed, just a sheet and what reminded me of a tablecloth, like the sort of linen you'd see *over* a comforter in some hotels. Neither night staff nor day staff working the desk seemed like check-in/check-out was their priority and weren't in a big hurry to get to the desk, but they were friendly. The continental breakfast consisted of cereal, bagels, muffins, coffee/juice, your standard continental fare. I can't attest to the quality of the food since we opted for the Waffle House within walking distance of the hotel. I don't know that I would bring my family to this hotel, or that I'd want to stay for a long trip, but it does the trick for a quick and cheap overnight if you're just looking for a place to sleep.
