“Good place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I thought this was a great place to stop for a night. It's tucked back away from the freeway, but that helps it to be a quiet place. The room was clean, and the only issue I had with the room was one that I have noticed in most hotels - the toilet in my room wouldn't flush properly, and it might not have been an issue if the toilet wasn't low-flow. Since I realize that generally that sort of thing is not something the hotel has a choice about, it's not something I would hold against it, just something to note.

The breakfast was a little sparse, but I don't expect luxury from a Super 8, so that wasn't a problem. In general, this is a really average place to stay. Nothing special, but not at all bad. I would stay again.

“Clean, Friendly and Cheap - Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

This hotel is nothing out of the ordinary but for the price met our expectations for an over night stay. We were heading home from Chicago and with a late start - this was a good stop. Front desk curteous, room clean, including a coffee maker and hair dryer in the room. The breakfast offerings we skipped except for the coffee. We almost missed the turn in to the hotel. Though the road is lit because it is the main road off of the interstate just so many other places crowded in and almost missed the turn into Super 8. At that price we would stay again!

Room Tip: The TGIF up the road is quite good but crowded!

“Perfect for One Night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

As a previous reviewer said, this is a great road trip hotel. We booked through bringfido.com, which is a website that lists pet-friendly properties all over the country.
When I called to ask some questions regarding booking and check-in, I spoke with Tracy. She was very kind and helpful!

We arrived around 12:30 or 1:00am and had a very easy check-in process. Peggy had all of my information ready, and the whole process took just a minute or two.
We found a parking spot easily, but I think it was literally the last one in the lot.

Our room was on the downstairs floor. There was some sort of appliance plugged in and sitting in the hallway. Maybe a dehumidifier? My fiance thinks it was that or a space heater. It was a little humid, so it may have been the former.

The keys I was given didn't work when we got to the room. Not a huge deal--It was a quick walk back to the front desk, but we were holding our bags and trying to keep our dog still and quiet; it would have been nice to go in right away!

Our room was cozy. There was some definite water damage -or some sort of unsightly damage- along the floor next to the outer wall.

I got a great night's sleep! The air conditioner gave us a nice white noise, and I didn't hear one other traveler the whole night--I can't say the same thing about some more expensive hotels! The sheets were *so* soft and clean, and the pillows were great. If it weren't for my pup needing an early morning potty break, I would have slept well into the morning!

The bathroom was clean, and bigger than I expected--not large, but not at all cramped. It had a great shower!

We didn't catch breakfast, but it looked like it would have filled us up enough for the morning drive.

We will definitely book again when passing through Effingham!

Room Tip: The parking lot is only on one side (If facing the front desk, it's on your right.), so request...

“Great Road-Trip Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel gives you everything you'd expect from a Super 8: the bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the staff was friendly. The free breakfast, which included self-made waffles was nice.

This hotel is pretty much in the middle of everything there is in Effingham, so there are plenty of restaurant choices if you want more than waffles and cereal.

All in all a good choice whether you are visiting Effingham or just passing through.

We had been on the road for 7 weeks, this was our last MOTEL of the trip, it was comfortable, clean, friendly, and very very accessbile..plenty of places to eat walking distance, and if U wanted to shop, there was a SUPER WAL MART right behind the property..
The beds were comfy, the internet worked, first floor was down the stairs, that was fine with us:-)
This is on our " to stay at again" list..
