“Worst place I've ever stayed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2010

I'm writing because our stay at this hotel was the absolute worst that we've ever had. First- the hallways at the hotel smelled like stale cigarette smoke. When we walked into our room, it positively stank of mildew. We immediately went to the front desk to inquire about a change of rooms, and were told that they could not do this-- and then they gave us some air freshner to spray. Sleeping that night was restless, as the walls are like paper, and I could hear the neighbor's tv that was on all night (I guess I should be glad that that was the only noise I heard). Breakfast consisted of Little Debbie like packaged desserts and little tiny bagels or cereal. For seventy some dollars-- this place was absolutely atrocious.

“Great dog friendly place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2010

Wonderfully accommodating staff; great rooms, large, clean, and nicely decorated. Lots of grassy area for dog walking and convenient guest laundry. My only suggestion would be to have dog rooms on the first floor. My stay was midweek and there were several dogs on the second floor, where I was. Not sure if there are dog rooms on the first floor or they were filled (don't think so.) Other than schlepping all the dog bedding, etc up the stairs, the stay was absolutely wonderful. Much better than other Super 8s I experienced on the trip.

“not bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2008

Not the nicest check in ever but ok. Small selection for breakfast, closet size bathroon, curved shower bar. Does have a full size ironing board in the room which is a huge plus. Fairly clean, just a bit run down, not too bad. Room was only $59 a night so pretty much got what I paid for.

“Pleasant stay at the Super 8”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2003

person found this review helpful

Our party had two rooms at the Super 8. The hosts were pleasant, and the rooms were just what we needed: cable tv, great showers, and a nice continental breakfast in the lobby. My folks even had a small refridgerator and microwave in their room. All in all, a very nice stay!
