I cannot say enough good about the Super 8 in Jerseyville, IL. I have stayed in Hiltons and Mariotts that were not as accomadating as this Super 8. Becky and Nancy and Mike treated me like family and were very gracious, kind and helpful. I stayed there for 3 days and couldn't find one thing to complain about. Those who do complain probably do so everywhere they go.

Please only stay at this hotel if you enjoy being treated horribly by the front desk staff. Also several amenities (Toilet, TV) do not work in some rooms. The owner of this hotel tried to compensate me for poor service after my initial stay by giving me a 50% discount off of my next stay, only to have the front desk staff tell me they would have to charge me a higher rate to honor the discount. Owner is customer service oriented, however his staff are not!

I was really surprised that the Super 8 had rooms the size of a Marriott Courtyard or a Hilton Garden Inn. I guess the real difference is the lack of furniture and a 19" television set. At the price point that I paid (double what a Motel 6 would charge), I thought I would at least have two end tables or a couch in the room. The only thing in there is a small television and a reclining chair. Bed was uncomfortable. Pillows had been through a ringer. All in all, worst sleep in an American hotel that I have had in years. If I didn't have to be in Jerseyville, I wouldn't have stayed.

I stayed in the Super 8 Jerseyville hotel for one night during April 2010 on a business trip. I have stayed in many hotels for business and leisure and have seen the highs and lows. In my opinion, this hotel would probably rank on the low end. The staff was friendly and check-in and check-out were fast. The outside appearance is nice and the property is clean. The interior appeared a little a worn and rough around the edges. The bed pillows were flat and the blanket had holes and was scuffed and worn. The headboard was outdated. The sheets and linens were clean, but the appearance of the blanket left me thinking, should I inspect for bed bugs?

A few positive comments on my room: 1) clean, 2) new shower head, 3) nice flat screen television, and 4) spacious with one full size bed. The hotel offered a continental breakfast which is similar to breakfasts offered at other hotels. However, the stained upholstery on the chairs in the eating area left me disgusted. I debated whether I should sit down or not.

This hotel was selected for me by someone else, and even though it offered convenient access to Jerseyville, I would stay elsewhere next time (probably, Alton, IL in the south). If you normally stay in low-budget hotels, then you probably will find no problems with the Super 8 Jerseyville. If you usually stay at the Hyatt, Holiday Inn Express, Sheraton, etc., then you will be disappointed too. I have not stayed in a Super 8 in over 10 years and I likely will not return for another 10 years. There is just too much competition in the lodging industry and alternative hotels have set a higher standard.
