“Below average for Super 8”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Check in was extremely slow. All linens smelt faintly of smoke. The curtains in our room were halfway torn and were folded up and sewn to hide holes. The hotel smells heavily of curry during lunch time. The house keeping is very loud and woke us up several times. Slamming door at the eastern end of hotel is very very loud and woke us up as guests left as well.

I am usually very content with my Super 8 stays but we will not be returning to this particular hotel.

Room Tip: Room on eastern end are incredibly noisy due to heavy slamming door when guests leave side entrance.

“Awful Stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our stay at the Super 8 in Joliet was terrible. The elevators were broken, the pillows were all lumpy and mis-shapen. We went to the pools and there were nothing but wet dirty towels everywhere and when we asked for some clean towels, they proceeded to tell us that there were no clean towels in the entire hotel. We went back to our room dripping cold. Everything in the room felt dirty to me, I slept with my t-shirt over the pillow. I won't ever stay at a Super 8 ever again.

“Bugs and Smells - the worst Super 8 I've been to.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2009
1
person found this review helpful

1. We found a bedbug scurrying across the bathroom floor. Upon killing it, found it was full of blood. It had been feeding.

2. The couch and top sheet in the room smelled of cigarettes.

3. The entire hotel, lobby and hallways, smelled musty and kind of gross.

4. The sheets didn't fully cover the bed, we could see the unsightly box spring.

5. There's a good amount of bird poop on the outside of the window.

6. Breakfast is skimpy -- no donuts.

7. A damaged piece of carpeting in the hallway outside our room was repaired, but poorly.

8. The blankets were thin and scratchy.

9. They couldn't program our door key properly. Coming back to the room on the second day of our stay, we found the key didn't work in the door. I had to go back to the clerk and ask him to reprogram it so we could get back in.

10. Internet access, though free, is slow.

11. No complimentary shampoo, and our room was missing its "Do not disturb" sign.

I've been in Super 8s before, and I've usually been satisfied. This was definitely not one of those experiences. This hotel was disturbing in its overall dinginess. I would not recommend it for any stay in Joliet.

“Quality on a budget! Impressed.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2008

I have stayed at the Super 8 off of I-80 and Larkin in Joliet quite a few times. I have always been impressed with the early check in, the cleanliness of the rroms, the rates and excellent service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for quality on a budget! Recently renovated.

A very well maintained Super 8, a nice comfortable room, a decent breakfast. Unfortunately the WiFi did not quite reach my room

  • Liked — Very well maintained hotel
  • Disliked — The weak WiFi, that does not reach all rooms (but it is free, and works well in the lobby)
