don't stay here unless you have no other choice

worst hotel experience ever! Room was filthy, floors looked like they hadn't been swept or mopped in a month, housekeeping was smoking in the room, didn't leave towels or washcloths. I had to go to the office everyday for them. we had to ask 3 times for extra pillows & a working remote for the tv, after waiting half an hour in the lobby for someone to come to the desk to check us in (we arrived half an hour after check-in time started), & the pillows smelled like mildew. also they advertise as newly remodeled rooms, since when is only painting a room remodeling it?

une blague...

Nous avons du changer trois dois de chambre à notre arrivée... la première n'ayant pas d'eau dans la salle de bain ni de serviettes. La seconde n'ayant pas de lumière dans la salle de bain et des serviettes tachées... quant à la troisième elle n'avait pas de frigo... mais après tous ces déménagements on s'en sera passé. Par contre pas de femme de ménage le matin, et tour ce qu'on a su nous répondre c'était qu'il n'y en avait tout simplement pas... côté insonorisation c'est vraiment pas ça, avec l'autoroute qui passe juste à côté je vous laisse imaginer les deux magnifiques nuits que nous avons passés !

The staff was very friendly, but did not make up for the green pool. The room was not very clean. The air conditioner leaked all over the floor. They gave me a pan and several towels. I took care of the clean up. I have stayed in hotels for the same price that were taken better care of.

The staff was in pajama bottom for clothes. I requested a crib and they had one for 200 plus rooms and it was already in use. When we went down to breakfast they ran out of plates and cups. I will not stay at this hotel again. As far as the room u could see daylight from under the door and hear every noise there was outside.

Bed bugs!!

I was bitten by something and when I reported it to the office they said they were not aware of bed bugs! I never said that so I'm assuming they knowingly rent units infested with bed bugs. I left a day early and they refused to refund..

Do NOT stay at this hotel.

I was there for 3 nights, no one cleaned my room. I get my room, and it was dirty, so the person working the counter gave me another room. My reservation was for smoking, but they said it was not. But told me to smoke in the room anyway. I had to go everyday to get my key to work. Had hadwood floors, never seen a hotel like that. If I could have gotten a refund, I sure would have and went to another hotel. Never will I stay at that hotel again, and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone!!! Was not worth the money I paid for it.

Worst place to stay with a roof over you.

The place was not clean. We had to change rooms right off the bat, because did not have any paper products,no phone,no towels. The bathroom faucet did not have any hot water. The fire alarm was disassembledoing and layer out on table. The next room did have a phone,but it did not work. Oh did I mention these rooms were not clean.

STAY FAR, FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS MOTEL! TERRIBLE!

Stay elsewhere! I urge you- stay somewhere else. The first room they assigned was occupied (bed unmade, personal items, towels on the floors, etc.) The second room had no towels, soap, tissues, or toilet paper. The lock on the door adjoining this room to the next just spun-there was no deadlock, and the door didn't latch (they had the dresser in front of it blocking it). The latch on the front door hung by one screw and the deadbolt didn't lock. The walkways to the rooms were dark-absolutely NO light (we used the flashlights on our phones). The area was fine, but the parking lot was very sketchy (I.E. Tacoma truck with only a shovel and ropes in the back illegally parked in dark corner). We decided to stay elsewhere (we recommend the Fairfield Inn down the street-that's where we went and they were great). When we decided to stay elsewhere we were assured it wouldn't charge my card, but it did and their customer service was a NIGHTMARE to deal with. Thankfully hotels.com was able to help me get my refund since the many people at Super 8 refused/didn't care/called my details "annoying little details." If you value your money, time, and safety stay at a different hotel.

Checked in early. Got key and was told they were cleaning rooms. Great. Just needed key. Family was going to six flags and wouldn't be back until late. Got back and room had not been touched. Still had previous guests stuff in it. Went to talk to front desk and night crew was awesome. He changed rooms immediately. Apologized for inconvenience and did what he could to accommodate. Not the best experience but night staff tried. Could be cleaner, but didn't expect top of line either.
