I stayed at Super 8 for 21 days since I had broken up with my boyfriend and wanted a quick out that was closest to work. It had cost me $1,300. The rooms are dirty, ghetto, outdated, and overpriced! It's the worst experience of my entire life! I found several other hotels that were cheaper and way, way nicer! I'm so angry at myself that I made such a quick decision, but I could not get a refund, and when I asked the manager about how many nights you have to stay to get a free night so I could have one extra day to get my things together after work, he told me they don't give free nights no matter how much you spend!
What a waste this was! I will never ever stay here again! They duct tape everything, and I had to clean the walls in the bathroom myself and had to ask for cleaning supplies when they finally were able to move me out of the disgusting smoking section because there was pee splatter on the walls from God-knows-who, and the maids would never clean it! The toilet seat is too small for the toilet, the washing machine is overpriced, and they sell ramen noodles upfront for $2.50 a piece. If this is not a rip off, I don't know what is. I am so disappointed at the Super 8 in Rio Rancho!!!

Quoted wrong rates, dirty rooms, and rude staff. We were there for a four-day baseball tournament with 16 teams involved. Super 8 quoted rates that they couldn't produce. We only stayed one night and transferred to a different hotel due to the unfriendly staff and nasty manager. They put a group of us in their smoking rooms - gross! The kids were disgusted, and we were all very disappointed. :( NEVER AGAIN.

Stayed at Super 8 Hotel in San Mateo, CA. Left my 500.00 iTouch in my room, I'm 100% sure. The maid said it wasn't there, then called what I'm assuming was the manager. Transferred me three times to the maids and got hung up on all three times. The manager didn't want to be bothered. I'm going to court with this. The people that run this place are **. They should care a little more about who's paying their bills.

Our room was very nasty. First, I tried to take a bath. I have Fibromyalgia. I needed to sit in a tub of warm water. The bathtub did not hold water. I needed my insulin pen cooled, but the fridge was warm. Blood on bed mattress cover and mattress. I tried to use the phone and the phone was unplugged. I plugged it up, but still did not work. I walked up to the desk. No one there. At 8PM I got my husband to come up to the desk to tell Mr. ** about our issues. He responded by looking at the both of us to say, "I knew y'all were going to be trouble." He sent a family member down to change the bed. He asked me was it my blood. I showed him the blood on the mattress. He ignored it. Yes, I have pic. If I have to go to the media with this. I intend too.

I've had problems with my room being very nasty and one white maid being very rude and ignorant. She was not professional at all. I noticed her co-workers were always outside smoking and not doing any work at all. They really need to have better employees working for this motel. I will never step foot in that nasty ** place again.

I was coming home from a vacation and stopped at a Super 8 in Saint Clairsville, OH. I found a card on bed stating that we should be more like home and not get clean towels every day or have bed made every day. That is fine if I was staying there for a few days, but I had to go and get clean pillow cases because they were dirty and turned inside out. I wonder why that was, hmmm. Then the bed looked messed up and looked like it didn't have clean sheets on it. No fitted sheet. So by the time I got up the next day, the sheet was almost out from under me. The only one chair I had in the room was dirty and you could see stains on it. There was no plug in for CPAP machine next to the bed, and the lock for the window was a stick. For the money we paid, it wasn't worth it. It was nasty and dirty. I don't think I will stay at another one. If I do, I will ask to see room first. But if you’re in this area, don't stop.

My husband and I spent the weekend in Great Lakes, IL, for our youngest son's graduation from Navy Boot Camp. After spending the day with our son at Midway airport for his departure to a school in Pensacola, we left the airport and headed west towards our home in Bellevue, NE. Because it was early evening, I got on my iPhone and searched for hotels along our route and found one that was approximately 50 miles down Interstate 80 in Peru, IL. I called the Super 8 toll free number and booked a room for the evening. Upon checking in, the desk clerk was very personable and friendly and the hotel appeared to be very well-maintained and clean. We got to our room, and immediately went to bed as we had been up since 2 am that morning.
Early the next morning, I got up to go the bathroom and after taking care of my business, simply flushed the toilet only to have the water continuously run and overflow the toilet. I had to physically take the cover off the back and using a wash cloth stuff it between the chain and stopper to keep the tank from filling up and causing more water to fill in the toilet. The floor was 2 inches deep in water so I finally sent my husband downstairs to get more towels and a plunger. He came back with them and I told them what was going on. We received no support from the front desk, no help in getting this toilet to stop filling with water. What we did get was a very rude owner who accused us of tampering with the toilet. He then expressed his disgust with us for coming in at 7 pm and taking one of his rooms (we did book it through the 800 number and paid the designated rental price) so I'm not sure why we were scum for that.
I thought hotels depended on travelers stopping along their trips for a room to spend the night at. When I called the front desk asking for a room to take a shower and clean up in, I was told no, they could not do that, then he hung up on me. I gathered all my belongings and went to check out where the owner proceeded to tell his wife, the desk clerk, to "throw us out". When I questioned what he had said from back behind the counter, his wife stepped up and said that he had told her to "check us out". The owner then started throwing accusations at us like we had done something wrong and then proceeded to tell me I needed to go to church and that I was some kind of scum for not being in church that morning. Funny, he wasn't in church so I'm not even sure what that remark was supposed to mean.
I have never in my entire life experienced a more unprofessional business owner. I am very disappointed in Super 8 for allowing individuals such as this to represent their hotel chain. My husband and I have 5 grown children and throughout their childhood we constantly stayed at Super 8 hotels and even had one of their Super 8 frequent guest cards when they were offered. I can say with the utmost assurance that my family will never stay at a Super 8 again. I have never been treated with so much disrespect. My husband is a retired veteran of 25 years and my son is starting his career with the United States Navy. I cannot understand a business that expects you to pay for their service, but doesn't want to make things right when mistakes or situations occur. I wasn't asking for a refund as we had a nice night's sleep in their hotel room. All I wanted was an opportunity to take a shower before getting on with our journey, which was supposed to be covered in the rate charged for the room.
My advice to any traveler along I-80 in Peru IL is stay at the Hampton or La Quinta Inn and stay as far away from the Super 8. The owner is a very rude and disrespectful person and seems to possibly have issues with members of the armed forces. If I could say anything else to this rude man, it would be that my husband and my son served this country to protect the rights of all Americans, even rude individuals that seem to hate those same individuals who serve to protect the very rights that allowed them to own a franchise with this company and in this country. God Bless America and God help people like the owners of this Super 8.

Super 8 in San Luis Obispo, CA - I found out after I had made the reservations that they were non-refundable. This made it impossible to later change or cancel the reservations. I booked originally for 4 nights but stayed only 1 night. I was given a room on the top floor farthest from the entrance. It took climbing 5 flights of stairs to reach the room. By the time I had unloaded the car, I was exhausted from lugging all my luggage up the stairs. It then rained the first night, making all the stairs slippery and treacherous. I just turned 65 and decided that I did not need this kind of aggravation and physical torture while on vacation, so I checked out early and lost my deposit for the remaining 3 nights. I have never checked out early from a hotel before, but the conditions here required me to move. Needless to say, I will never stay at a Super 8 Motel again.

My son-in-law booked two rooms at Super 8 in Ukiah, CA. A week before we were to check in, I called that motel and said that I would like one room taken out of his name and put in my name so my oxygen would be delivered to my room. Instead, they rented a third room and did not remove the other room from my son-in-law's name. He could not afford to pay for an extra room so I gave him $200 to cover the charge and tried to get a refund. The manager would not admit his mistake. He also hung up on me. I understand this is not a first for Super 8 to do extra room charges. Buyer beware!

We made reservations at the Super 8 in San Antonio (St. Mary's St.) Texas for May 4-5. Upon making the reservation online for 1 room, I called after to confirm which I always do. It's lucky I did. It reserved 3 rooms! I told them I only needed 1. I was told that I had non-cancellation room rates. After being transferred to another person, I was told my card would be charged for the 3 rooms. After arguing with a non-English speaking person, I just hung up and went to my bank and withdrew all the money so it couldn't be charged. So after arriving at the motel at 3 pm, we turned on the AC; it was very loud and dusty smelling. We were in a room on the top floor on the very end. But every time someone flushed the toilet or turned on the water, we could hear it. It stated Internet access but I was never able to sign on to my tablet. When taking a shower the following morning, I had no hot water. There were cigarette burns on the blanket. The sheets smelled dirty. The worst part was my husband woke up with pink eye! Horrible experience! I have called and complained and they offered a free night. Ah, no thank you. I want my money back!

My wife and I recently were in Chandler, AZ for 4 nights at Super 8 as we were in the area looking and searching for ideas of places to live. Upon checking in, we found our room was very dirty, air conditioner unit was coated with dirt and when it came on, there was an odor coming out of the unit. The floor appeared to be less than clean, again another odor and we were not sure when and if the carpet had been cleaned. The sliding door track and windows were very dirty. The next morning, we were awakened by water pouring out of the exhaust fan from the shower from upstairs. I immediately told the front desk and I was told her shift was up, but she would make a note about the water. I told them I wanted another room. We had to wait until a room was ready. it took until 2:30 before we could get another room.
We lost a day looking around the area. The staff was very laid back and didn't seem to be concerned about our situation. We were very upset that they didn't seem to care. I realize that they couldn't do much until people checked out. There was not even an apology. We feel we should have been compensated at least one night for the trouble we had. Housekeeping didn't seem to be in a big hurry to get their work done. They were on their cell phones while in the rooms and supposed to be working. We found the towels were yellow. When I asked for extra towels, the manager was not too reactive, nice enough but also laid back. I asked for a plunger and the maintenance gave me the plunger. We feel that we will stay someplace else because of the condition of the two rooms we had.

A state bowling tournament (which lasts for 6 weeks) was held in Union, MO and Super 8 was one of the hotels we enlisted to stay. My group booked the weekend 3/22/13 through 3/24/13 (two nights). Upon receiving my charges on Sunday, I was to pay one night and my roommate the other night. We received statements to show this transaction. Upon reviewing my account on Monday, I was charged for three nights. I called and the girl said I should check with my bank. Tuesday I called, she took my card information and said she was crediting my account for two nights as we spoke. Today is Friday and no credit.
When I called, the girl told me the manager was out of town and they couldn't do anything until Monday. Other ladies had the same problem but they were told manager was out until Friday, and then was told Monday. Evidently, I was not the only one. I feel like we have been getting the runaround and they have several charges that do not belong to them. Where is the money going? I am involved with several groups that travel and stay in motels. If this is going to happen every time we stay at your motels, we will stay somewhere else.

I arrived at the Super 8 motel in Chester, VA on Saturday (3/23) to stay until 3/28. During that time I had asked by using the sign provided not to disturb my room. I put this on the door knob on Saturday when I arrived. When I would leave for the day, I would leave the sign on the door (the sign stayed on the door every day and night of my stay). When I would leave, my trash is outside the door. When I returned on Wednesday, the staff had been in my room. They claimed to have cleaned the room but hair was still in the bathroom. My personal things in the bathroom were moved and were gone through. My room was done the same way. I felt very violated and went to complain at the front desk.
There was an 8 1/2 wide x 1 1/2 inch piece of paper that stated all rooms will be cleaned every other day even if you have the sign up. I really think that's an invasion of privacy. I paid to use this room and did not want anyone to enter my room that's way I used the sign. They have signs everywhere about no pets, but only one about the rooms. If the sign was true, they would have already been in the room before then.

We just got back from staying at one of your Super 8 motels at 689 Super 8 Way Three Rivers, MI. We were not very happy with the outcome of our weekend getaway. We had 2 rooms - my husband and I in one room and my son, his wife, 2 kids and mother-in-law in the other. After checking in, we went to our rooms. Let's just say we should have checked right back out. This hotel needs updating very bad. The rooms had an old cigarette smell to them. The carpet was dirty and full of cigarette burns. Mind you, Michigan is a smoke-free state in public buildings. There were dust, cobwebs in both rooms, stuff under the beds in my son's room, there was a broken chair in my son's room, heater was so loud you couldn't hear the TV and it didn't work right.
At 1:30AM, my son and his family had to move because my 4-year-old grand son got cold because the heater wasn't working. The heater in my room was loud, but I knew it wouldn't do any good to complain. There were dogs barking in the hotel and the bathrooms were very small for larger people. The toilet seat in my room was broken. It felt like you were going to fall off the toilet. The pool was very cold and I couldn't enjoy it for very long. The outside of the building needed a paint job and the parking area needed to have the holes fixed. Lighting was poor.
The complimentary breakfast was a big joke. No fresh fruit, old coffee, warm milk, 5 English muffins, 4 snack packs of fruit, 2 yogurts, 3 pieces of bread, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, waffles and juice. My husband is a diabetic and can't have these things. Frankly, they didn't turn any of us on. Sunday morning we went out to eat at McDonald's, which had a better breakfast.
The staff was not very friendly. The late night staff person was rude. We had our door propped open so our two grandkids could come and go as they want (they are 4 and 7). My husband and I, as well as my daughter-in-law and her mother, are handicap so it was easier to have the doors to both rooms propped open so the kids could come and go. The night person was very rude and told us we couldn't do that. Didn't ask why the doors are propped open, just shut the doors herself.
This isn't the first time we have stayed at a Super 8, but it will be the last time. We will not get burned again from your hotel chain. I have stayed at 3 different Super 8 in the last year, but it is the last time I'll stay at one. Believe me, I will be telling my friends and family to stay away from your hotel chain. Never again will we stay at a Super 8. I have one word to say about the Super 8 Hotels - disgusting. I believe something should be done. Some kind of refund.

I am writing you because I am having problems with this hotel I'm currently staying at until my home is ready for move in. I am staying at Super 8 on 45 & Richey (16222 North Fwy Houston, TX 77090) and the maid staff said they wouldn't clean my room because my child wet the bed. The manager tried calling me at the room; however, we were gone all day and got back around 8pm and the keys didn't work. They locked us out of the room because of my child's incompetency issue. I went to the office and we regained entrance to our room, only to realize that the maid didn't clean it. She didn't make the beds, take out the trash, and refill the tissue or towels. I went back to the office and the front desk clerk told me that the maid told the owner that they weren't going to clean my room and obviously the owner was fine with that. I feel that we are not valued customers and my husband and I paid in advance for 1 week, not including the times before this visit that we stayed and spent a great deal of money.

March 2, 2013, Portland, Maine - Thought we'd spend a night at Super 8. Worst night sleep of my life, I think. Got room 109 on main floor across from 110. The barking dogs earlier in the evening were in a U-Haul truck in the parking lot. But as the night went on, they must have gotten moved into the hotel because all hell broke out about 1:00AM. After calling the front desk for the second time, about 8:00AM, the cleaning lady (she said she was the cleaning manager) came to my door banging. She said she was very sorry and for me to stop at the front desk on the way out, and they would make it up to us by giving our money back or free stay next time (dogs still barking while we talked at the door).
But when we were leaving the front desk, that was not at all what happened. The lady there said she asked the people who owned the dogs if they had been barking and they said no, not at all. So she didn't know what we were talking about. Without making confrontation, my wife and I left very dissatisfied. Who would imagine such disrespect to a customer? Needless to say, we will not be staying at any Super 8 again.

After checking into the Super 8 in Charlottesville, Virginia, we were told that the coupon that we had was not valid when there were only 3 rooms left. After being on the road for 14 hours, I did not want to argue with Aljean (the desk clerk). The first thing I had to do was kill a large bug crawling up the wall. Then, when I pulled the sheets back, I found hair on the bed. I brushed it off. Then, there were two large stains between the pillows. I had had enough. I went to complain to Aljean. She did not even want to see the bed. Instead, she gave me the key to the room next door. I went in to check the bed. Surprise! There were two large hairs in this bed too. These are handicapped rooms as well.
I was very angry by this time. It was also 10:00 pm. at night. I went back to the front desk and asked Aljean to look at these beds. She came along. In the second room, she said that she would have the day staff change the sheets. In our room, she touched the stains and stated that they were dry, but she would change the sheets. When she removed the sheets, I spotted another long dark hair on the mattress cover. So she removed it as well. The replacement sheets were so thin you could spit through them. It was close to 11:00 pm. by this time. My wife and I had a very poor night's sleep after that. If Super 8 cannot find it in their hearts to compensate us in some way, I assure you we will go out of our way to avoid any Super 8 in the future.

My husband, my 8-year-old daughter and myself were unexpectedly called out of town to Ringling, Oklahoma for a family member's funeral. So in trying to save money, I went online and purchased what I thought was a reasonable rate for the 3 nights that we would be staying in Ardmore, Oklahoma, which was the nearest town to Ringling. The pictures on the internet site were not what we saw when we pulled into the parking lot and neither were the rooms. When we entered the building, the smell of burnt fried fish literally knocked us over. When the attendant checked us in and we proceeded to enter the room, the smell of fish followed all the way down the hall.
When we entered the room, it was filthy. The curtains were about to fall off the window, along with the screen on the window. The room had such a bad order from not being cleaned properly. When we tried to use the toilet, it was like riding a mechanical bull. It was not attached to the floor and there was a big hole in the floor below it. When we insisted that the attendant give us another room, he sent us upstairs. The smell of diesel was so strong it took our breath away. When we entered the room, it too had a terrible order to it. When we checked the bed linens, they had what looked like oil all over the sheets. We were forced to buy blankets to put on top of the beds just to sleep. Even the pillows smelled like a truck driver that hadn't taken a bath in a month. The bathroom was filthy. The hallway was full of bags of empty beer cans and the parking lot was full of beer cans and bottles, not to mention the dirty diapers.
Because we had booked this thing you call a hotel online, I had no recourse in getting our money back so we were forced to stay there. I don't know what kind of reputation that your company is trying to portray, but if this is the kind of places that you don't mind putting your name on, then you will never get our business. I will warn all my friends to be careful when shopping online, because the pictures are not always what you get when you get there. I had to beg forgiveness from my daughter and promise that I would never make her stay in an awful place like that again.
What happened to good old fashion honesty in advertising? I have also sent a letter to the online company that I booked with and suggested that they screen the clients a lot closer than they do. Your company is a big fraud and you practice in false advertising. You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

When we arrived at the hotel, which was booked online and I had the printout of what the hotel was to look like, there was no way we could have been at the right hotel. However, the address matched the reservation dates so we proceeded to register for the stay of 3 nights. After entering the room, which was dirty and rundown, due to being tired we stayed. At 6:15 the next morning, there were 2 construction trucks which were loud and were backed into the parking spot right in front of our room and started up the vehicles. This was my second clue that I didn't want to be there, but the final straw was when my sister was taking a shower and the plaster on the ceiling was falling into the bathtub while she was showering. At this point, I was ready to check out and go to another hotel.
When I went to the service desk to request cancellation for the remainder of my stay, they started giving me a hard time about leaving. I informed them that first off, the stay was to be $48.00 a night and they charged $77.00 for the night. I showed them the picture of the hotel that I booked from the internet and that it was far from what we expected. The receptionist told me that we were at the right hotel and that because there were 2 beds in the room, we were charged the extra money. I informed him and showed him the paperwork where there were 2 people booked for the room at $48.00 per night and now the price went up because there were two of us. I cancelled the remainder of our days booked and they refunded my credit card for all but one day, which I wasn't going to argue about anymore.
In leaving the motel, my sister was packing the things up to leave and I was taking care of the cancellation at the front desk. We left and went to a different hotel. I booked our room and went on for our touring. We returned to the second motel, at which time we unloaded our things and proceeded to get showered and sleep. It was at this point that my sister discovered her medicine was missing. I immediately called the Super 8 Hotel, asking if anyone was booked in room 133 that night. She said, "No, the room was empty." I asked if housekeeping had turned anything in and she said she didn't know. I asked if we could come over and look to see if the medicine was in the room. She told me, "What are you calling me at midnight for?" I informed her that we had just got to our room and that we need the medicine as my sister is a diabetic and has other health issues. We need the medicine tonight.
The lady said, "I am in lock down until 2:00AM." If we wanted to call, then someone else would be there. I asked if we could just go look ourselves. She said, "No, I can't let you into the room. There is nothing we can do. You should have called earlier than this." I was very upset about all of this. I cannot believe that a hotel that is open 24 hours a day would be in lock down from 12:00AM to 2:00AM. To me, this medicine was an emergency situation and the fact that we could not go look ourselves was wrong. My sister went without her medicine due to a lazy receptionist, who refused to go look in the room or to allow us to look in the room, and also find it hard to believe that no one could come to the office between 12:00 and 2:00AM.
What do they do if someone wants to book a room between these hours? If it is open 24 hours, what is all of that about? The next question is how good is the housekeeping that they did not find the medicine? At 8:00AM, we finally called to question the whole mess and a gentleman answered the phone. He told us he would take our number and call us back. He returned our phone call and said he had found the medicine exactly where we told them it was. We went over and got the medicine, along with some clothes which were also in the dresser. What is with housekeeping not looking in the dresser and not contacting us as to the finding of medicine? The housekeeping department is about as good as the hotel receptionist.
My sister went without her medicine due to the lack of hotel management having a lock down and housekeeping not doing their job. I am very angry about this whole mess and would not recommend anyone to stay at the motel. It was Super 8 3304 South Eastman Road, Longview, TX 75602. If you want a rat whole to stay at and really bad service, use this hotel. I guarantee you will get just that. I would highly recommend that if you have any reservations at this hotel, you may want to cancel them.

The whole place is seriously rundown, inside and out. I made one reservation for one room. When we arrived, they were holding two rooms for us! After our stay, I discovered two $5 charges for reservation fees that I did not authorize! The desk clerk tried to charge us more than I was told when making the reservation. The reservation service was hotels.com. The credit card charge came through as travelnow.com. Unless you're a low-life with very low standards, stay somewhere else. Next time, I'll have to choose a different town to get a better place. I've been getting a lot of junk emails after this, too.

I and my husband stayed at a Super 8 in Harrisburg, IL on 01/12/2013. A storm came through this town some time through the night on the 12th or the morning of the 13th. Over $1,100 worth of damage occurred to my car. Shingles came off the roof and one did hit the car causing many, many scratches. It looks like the piece of roofing was slammed against that part of the car and slid down causing the damage. On the 18th of January, I called to talk to the motel manager. She was very rude by slamming the receiver down. She refused to talk with me about the damages to my car.

Jessica ** rented a room for one night at Super 8 on Meridian in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a homeless man. When Jessica paid for this one night, she was specific about it being for one night only. Jessica goes to her bank on 1-10-2013 to find out that Super 8 charged her card $740.20 instead of $74.02. Jessica spoke with Karen, the manager of the motel, on 1-11-13 and Karen advised Jessica that there is nothing she can do. Karen will not give Jessica the man's name that she rented the room for so Jessica can file charges with the local police department. Jessica is currently disputing charges with her bank.

My wife and I decided to take a small weekend ride down to the coast in lower GA since we have never been down there before. We normally go to Tybee Island, GA. So my wife got online and found a Super 8 in Jesup, GA, which is right on I-95 (the expressway between the two islands we wanted to check out), just in case we wanted to go somewhere new for a few days getaway. Well, she made reservations at the Super 8; our confirmation was **. That’s a room with queen bed and smoking. We arrived there Thursday (12/27) at 1pm. The lady at the desk told us our room was on the 3rd floor. I asked her if she had any rooms on the first floor because I'm disabled. She said no, that all the smoking rooms were on the third floor. So OK, here we go lugging everything to room 311.
When we got off the elevator and started down the hall, it looked like a dungeon - very dark, not like the first floor that I had seen. So we went in our room. The windows looking outside looked like they have not been cleaned since the building was new. You just barely could see the little store that sat next door. The light cover in the bathroom was brown. I know cigarette smoke will dirty up things over time. But I also know that washing them will clean them back to normal. My wife sat down to use the restroom and screamed - she almost fell in the shower because the commode seat is broken. If you do not sit on it just right, it will throw you in the floor or somewhere else I would rather not say. This place was nasty. Paint peeling off the walls in the restroom and all the other above stuff.
I didn’t complain. I had rather tuff through it and leave, because if you complain, you never know what you will get. The address of this place is 5280 New Jesup Hwy, Brunswick, GA 31520. I would like a refund for my stay. It pretty much ruined our 3-day relaxing road trip. I would also like for someone to contact these people and address these problems with them before it happens to someone else. I paid $104.70 for 3 days of living hell. We would always stop at the gas station to use the restroom before going back to the hotel. For 3 days, all we'd done was just sleep as little as possible and then leave the room. I would like your consideration on a full refund. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Thanks for your time.

The manager at the Super 8 in Roseburg is fairly new and came from another hotel chain in Roseburg, OR. She has fired housekeepers for unfair reasons in order to hire housekeepers from the former where they all worked together and some of them were terminated at their former job. She threatens employees that she dislikes and writes them up unfairly in order to fire them and hire more girls she knows. She is obviously biased and prejudiced and doesn't do any work herself as she puts everything on others. She has no work schedule for employees and chooses workers to come to work when she feels like it. She is the one that needs to be terminated.

I stayed at the Super 8 located at 10130 Almeda Genoa Road, Houston, TX 77075. My AC broke and I live with my brother, who has seizures and is disabled. My mom surprised us by coming to Texas for Chanukah. She is 69 years old. I rented the room for me and my brother, but she showed up. Okay, I gladly paid for the extra person, but ** and his wife attacked us last night, and today, about my poor mom. I was not going to leave her at my place with no AC, and on Chanukah. She yelled at me, my brother, and my mom about her stay. I had paid the extra $20.00 and also paid $140.40 for the two day stay.
I went to have breakfast this morning with my mother and there was almost nothing to eat, even the gentleman who was there with me said that the place was a dump. They do not even have anything for breakfast! I thought it was a continental breakfast. Let me just inform you that I was there at 7:15 A.M. Then, I went to go smoke - I choose to smoke, I paid for them. I know the laws of Texas; you have to smoke 25 feet away from the building. I work for Wolters Kluwer here in Texas. She rudely said, "No smoking in the room.” in a very bad manner. Then, she was drilling me that one person needed to leave. I had already paid for my mom to stay. The rooms were also a mess, and the refrigerator was dirty. The beds were not even made, and there was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom. I asked for some and she got upset about it.
My mom does not drive and is disabled. The room they had for me was upstairs, with no elevator. Basically, it's not handicap accessible at all! I have never been treated so rudely by anyone in my life. I, personally, will never stay at a Super 8 motel again. In fact, at this time I should be reimbursed for my stay. It's Chanukah - we should be exchanging gifts and having dinner, and a lot of yummy desserts. I had to have Chinese food, which I hate very much. Let me just tell you that you can Google Wolters Kluwer online. My company has offices all over the United States, Europe, and all over the world. On Monday, I'm going to send an email blast to all Wolters Kluwer employees worldwide, informing them to never stay at a Super 8. All employees of Wolters Kluwer travel all the time. Mr. and Miss ** are the rudest people I have ever met. We are quiet Hispanic-Jewish family. They are prejudiced against Hispanics and Jews, I surely think so.
At a time that I should be spending with my family, listening to music, going to the synagogue and enjoying my time off from work, their alarm system went off several times. They are doing construction in the room next to mine. The noise level is just extremely disturbing, not letting me relax at all. I have a "Do not disturb" sign on my door, and Miss ** is trying to look into my room. She even stood by my door. I just want to relax and enjoy my holiday, but I'm scared to even go outside.
I got here on Saturday night after coming from my synagogue for the first menorah lighting. Mr. and Miss ** said that we need to leave today. I had paid him directly for two days - Saturday and Sunday. My check out is on Monday, not Sunday. That was what Mr. ** told me - that I needed to leave today. They are not making any sense.
I'm scared to leave my room; it feels like I'm in jail. Every time I go outside, I have to hear them talk bad about me or asking me about money. Do they think I'm poor and homeless? My credit card went through. Let's just say I'm in higher management at Wolters Kluwer here in Houston, Texas, dressed down for my religious holiday and on PTO.
They are not evening computing with each other. I can tell I paid him, and she attacked me about the extra money for my mom staying here. Also, the toilet got clogged up, and I had to personally plunge the bathroom. What kind of service is this? My mom almost fell down the stairs because the floor was wet. I couldn't even walk to the office because the 3 gentlemen doing the construction are in the way. I almost forgot, I had asked for extra pillows and blankets and I was denied even that. Sorry, but it was too cold in the room for me and my poor mother, who took a late flight into the Houston, Texas hobby airport. Once again, she is 69 years old, from Florida, and not used to being cold.
I'm totally disgusted with the service here. Even the maid overheard when she attacked me about the money and said that one of us needed to leave today. She happened to speak Spanish. I would like to inform you that I'm Cuban and speak Spanish perfectly. She told me that she was crazy, and even expressed herself by a crazy gesture. I am fed up! This is the end! I will be checking out on Monday at 6:30 AM and I plan to never come back. I'm not even going to the office to check out; I will be leaving the card keys in the room - which, I forgot to say, are not working. They have turned them off; it does not let me in the room. They have deactivated the key card.
I think a two-day stay is a one-day stay in their minds. Personally speaking, they are more focused on the construction of the hotel. Also, I would like to inform you they could be providing me with the best customer service possible. There are a total of 8 rooms occupied currently in this Super 8. I will be going outside to smoke now with my cell phone voice memo on and with my iPad on, as well. Thank you, Apple! All I'm asking for is a full refund for my stay here.
I just had a chance to speak to one of the maids and had her recorded on my cell phone. I will gladly send you the recording. She informed me that Miss ** told her that because of her being late today, she is not even going to pay her. Also, they do not have extra towels and blankets; they can only put one little bar of soap and one really small bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. She told me that she is like with all Hispanic people. If you would like a copy of the recording, let me know. I emailed it to myself. It is unethical and inhumane to treat someone like that, period!
I have taken pictures of the room when we checked in, and will, also, when we check out. I will gladly send you the pictures and recording upon your request. Also, I will be taking pictures of the construction.

Our first "stay" was in Omaha, Nebraska. I swear! The mattress was shaped like a V which caused my wife and me to roll to the center. The room smelled of mold which was found around the windows (which looked as if they hadn't been cleaned forever!). Working our way westward across the country, we stayed at other Super 8s. The service after Omaha onward was excellent. The rooms were clean, but the beds were "hard as a rock." In the Ft. Collins, CO. Super 8, the wall-heater constantly came on and then off throughout the night, prohibiting decent sleep. It would get hotter then(!) and a couple of minutes later shut off. Then the routine would start all over again and again and again.
With the exception of Super 8 in Alamosa, CO, we discovered we had been charged in each motel for the use of a safe which we never did use. I discovered this after payment and I protested the charge. I was told that by signing at the bottom of the registration form this was "warranted'" by them to do. I asked for a credit to my account which upon each occasion they assured was done. I have yet to see the credit! In Alamosa, CO, the bed was "hard as a rock" but the room & the motel itself was by far the cleanest and the service exemplary! Upfront, I told them I did not want a "safe charge!" They assured me that it was not their policy to ever charge in this manner and they did not! Even though the Alamosa, CO experience was quite good, the other experiences were bad enough that I very much doubt that we will ever choose Super 8 again.

We were given a spray bottle (marked "freshener" - we took a picture of it), & began spraying all around the room. Right away, the smell of bleach became very intense. Within moments, a brand new ($120) pair of shoes & several blouses began showing white spots! Upon complaining to the shift manager, all we got was an, "I'm sorry, I'll tell the girl who gave you the spray." I asked, "That's it!?" He said,"I'll tell her. Sorry."

I have stayed at the Super 8 motel in Boone, NC for the past 5 years every October for one week for my daughter's birthday. We have never had an issue until this year. We arrived on Sunday after booking online, a month in advance, as I always do. We requested a smoking room on the bottom floor, again as I always do. At check-in, I was told there were no smoking rooms available but since I had booked one well in advance, they were just going to put me in a non-smoking room and it would be okay to smoke in it. Since we were a party of four with only one smoker, I knew smoking wasn't a huge issue for us since we would be out most of the day, so we agreed.
I noticed on our stay that the hotel was very light. It was just only our family and maybe 5 or 6 other guests the entire time. So it seemed odd that all the smoking rooms were rented out. But it's kind of one of those things you just think about then let go, you know. On Thursday night, we noticed that sometimes while we were out for the day, someone had come in our room and screwed our window shut. Since we were due to leave the next day and it was very late, I decided to ask about it at checkout and we went on to bed. On Friday morning, I awoke and checked my bank statement (as I do every morning) and I found a charge for $250.00 to my debit card from Super 8 of Boone. I was charged for my complete stay when I checked in and this was a separate charge.
I went down to the front desk to inquire about the charge and got the same person who checked me in. He told me it is a "cleaning charge" for smoking in a non-smoking room. To say the least, I am speechless and livid at the same time. I immediately asked for the manager, who is not available. I was told by him that I am a liar and that he would never say we could smoke in a non-smoking room and he refused to refund my money. I have called repeatedly to speak to the manager about this with no response. I have called the corporate office of Super 8 and have been told that the Boone location has to be the one to refund those types of charges.
I know I have been scammed, I have no doubt of it. There is no other explanation or reason for them to do this. I have contacted the BBB and I am posting my story everywhere I possibly can to try to avoid this happening to anyone ever again. I have read complaints about Super 8 all over online and a lot of them say that the non-smoking rooms smell of smoke and I feel that this scam explains why that may be. Please be careful if you must stay here! I know I never will again. Good luck.

I'm writing you in regards to the Super 8 Motel located on 557 Warrenton Road, in Fredericksburg, Virginia 22406. After spending the prior week at a conference in Washington, DC, I started my trip back home to North Carolina in the afternoon hours of September 28th of this year. This proved to be a disastrous mistake as I found myself quickly in gridlocked traffic during a severe rain storm. After many hours of stop and go traffic, my wife and I decided to pull off the road for the evening at the above mentioned motel.
Unfortunately, what we found was not to be what we have been used to over the years. Immediately I was met with an unpleasant odor. Trust me, I expect that to a degree because I always request a smoking room. Regardless, this odor was not simply of cigarette smoke in the air. I did not expect a dirty carpet with cigarette ashes still on the floor along with numerous stains. My wife was in need of utilizing the bathroom and it was discovered that the toilet was not functioning. I was able to fix the problem with the float myself but it will have to be repaired professionally as this was a temporary solution.
While I was there, I noticed how incredibly dirty the tub and shower was as well as the fact that the toilet paper holder was damaged also. Then while washing my hands after the toilet repair, it was brought to my attention that the light fixture above the vanity was hanging on the wall in disrepair. The TV did in fact work but the lights above the bed were once again simply hanging there as if someone had repaired them to simply operate. Wires were in fact visible. At this time, I was ready to leave for the night but after hours of being on the road and after already unloading the luggage, my wife convinced me that we should just stay and put up with the substandard conditions. After a short evening of sleep, my wife and I arose early to discover that not only did the coffee maker not work but the hairdryer was not operational either.
After I refused to shave or shower in that room, I told my wife to check out as I loaded the car. It was at that time in the daylight that I discovered piles of discarded furniture stacked along the back walls of the motel near the stairwell. My wife had stated that she was going to complain about the worst Motel 8 we have ever stayed in. However, I told her not to give a hard time to the desk clerk because this was obviously a management problem. It took my wife considerable time to return to the car. When she did return, I said that I did not want her to complain at that time. She informed me that she had said nothing but the person in front of her at the counter had, in fact, complained because they too had appliances in their room that did not operate. We have sent letter of complaints to Super 8 Corporate Office, but I will never stay in a Motel 8 again!

Although the management boasted the limited remodeling consisting of new carpeting and supposed air conditioners, the rest of the room was very dated and dirty. The air conditioner in our room didn't work and they had to repair or replace it while we were out. The bathroom ceiling tiles are all stained from second floor leakage and the bathroom door is damaged and won't even close properly. The bathroom floor is dirty in the corners and around the base of the toilet. The sink faucet is on so crooked that every time it is turned on, the water flow gets all over the counter under the faucet spout. The continental breakfast is a joke. There is one table with four chairs and the entire area is dirty and unkempt.
The orange juice dispenser had a gummy substance coming out of the spout and on two occasions, I saw where someone had poured a cup and left it because the juice was discolored and thick. The small containers of jelly or jam were so old that the jelly inside had solidified and was inedible. Unfortunately, we were on a house hunting trip and we initially signed up and paid to stay for a month, which we later changed and left after two weeks. Every time we went in for the continental breakfast, we had to ask for milk because the container was always empty. The waffle mixture at times had separated and appeared to be old, resulting in not being able to eat waffles.
The smell of mold in the bathroom in the area of the shower curtain was so bad we bought a bottle of Clorox and tried to get rid of the smell. When I checked in on September 21st, I asked if our room would be cleaned daily, bed changed and supplied with clean towels. The manager told me in order to get the bed changed and room vacuumed daily, I would have to pay an extra $1 per day in cash to housekeeping; otherwise, it wouldn't be done daily and we would have to change our own sheets and make the bed every other day. So, I paid $30 cash, in addition to the room charge to get this daily service.
I had a pickup truck full of personal belongs that I had moved up from FL and asked the management if I could park it under the covered entrance during a heavy rainstorm. Initially, they told me no and then said I could during the heavy rain. It started raining hard about 3PM and when I tried to park it under the entrance way, leaving plenty of room for other cars to drive under, they told me I could only leave it there for 15-20 minutes. Again, it was pouring rain and they were not busy at all. In fact, they really never had much business until Fridays and Saturdays and this was late on a Sunday afternoon. Consequently, my personal items got soaked during the heavy rains that afternoon and night. Overall, I am 100% dissatisfied and will never stay at another Super 8 again.

For those of us taking service animals when traveling, it is not a choice, but a necessity and a right. He also claimed that I could not take my service dogs anywhere other than my room and outside. Service dogs can go anywhere I go, period. Someone needs to get with Super 8 policies and procedures and straighten them out on ADA and service animals. And I want a refund of my money as I do not have pets.
Also, he demanded to see "disability I.D." for the animals, which is also against ADA. ADA does not require any service animal to have papers, cards, designations, vests, collars or leashes that call attention to them as service animals. At that point, I told him to go look on the Internet and see if he could register his rat as a service animal. There are sites that will issue "cards" for any animal for a big fee. Yeah, right.

We have stayed in other Super 8s and were satisfied with cleanliness and were quiet and restful. So, we chose this motel out of a group where we had our choice, much to our disappointment. It was not clean. I checked for bed bugs and there were no signs, not filthy. Just dirty corners, floors were obviously not cleaned; we did not go barefoot. Then when I was washing my hands, water came down on my feet. The whole pipe was moved from the goose neck, so we couldn't see how the sink had been cleaned or they would have gotten wet also. My husband moved it over, so it didn't leak as bad. We were extremely tired and just decided to stay.
Then around 3:00, the room just above us sounded like they were dribbling bowling balls and they stomped when walking. We can only think they kept dropping their suitcases and beer coolers until after 4:00. We had complained to the front desk at 3:30 and they said they would take care of it. They did not. My husband is almost deaf when his ear phones are on the nightstand, but it kept him awake, and I wear ear plugs, but it was loud so the ear plugs were useless.
The next morning at checkout, the man at the desk asked how we were. We told him that if we would have been able to sleep, we would be better. We were not sarcastic. He just said, "Oh, there was a football game." And we asked if we had to pay without sleep because of a football game. It is the home of the Chiefs, so that happens often. However, this was several miles from the game, so we think that was just an excuse. The Chiefs don't have enough out-of-towners to make people stay that far away. He just shook his head.
So this will be our last stay at a Super 8 and we travel extensively, usually pay in cash and clean up after ourselves. I have a close friend who is pretty high up with Expedia and she has been told about this motel. I am also putting it on Motel.com and to my friends on Facebook, and anywhere else I can make people aware. This is not up to par and in a city like Overland Park, we had no qualms when we rented, but now we know to not trust the franchise. When they are run by unclean people, the franchise needs to be more selective and more on top of it. As retired business people, we know what it takes to make the public happy. This is not it!

My husband got the room. It was getting late and always liked Super 8, so I thought this would be okay as well. This was Super 8 at 2 W. Leffel Lane in Springfield, Ohio. Going into the room, it did not smell real good, but could get past that. We were tired and had driven all day. The sheets were clean but the beds felt dirty. I don't know when they changed the covers. My wife sprayed with Lysol spray. We had no coffee pot or microwave in the room, but again, we didn't care a lot about that. The bathtub had hair on the wall areas and the tub was dirty. The water could not be adjusted. The floor has dirt in the corners. I would not walk barefoot, I can tell you that. The carpet is dirty looking.
I woke up itching, felt like I had bugs on me. The morning clerk was very nice, the night clerk who checked us in was not very polite. When asked if there were any military discounts or any others, she just blew him off and didn't bother to answer. I would never stay there again and probably a Super 8 ever again. It says best value in town. What a joke. We got a place to sleep. When we were ready to leave, they were just putting breakfast. Not a good hotel. I believe the night clerk's name was Robin.

I reserved and checked into the Super 8 Motel in Boone, NC in July around 3 pm on a Saturday. I left and returned around 10 pm to find that someone else was asleep in my room. Housekeeping had removed the items that I had left earlier. We were given what we were told was the last room in the motel. It was not clean and smelled very bad but we were tired and afraid that we wouldn't be able to get another room. We went to bed and went to the desk to make a complaint the next morning. I gave my phone number to the clerk to give to the manager who never called me. I called back a week later and spoke to her. She claimed that she would call me back to advise me on how I would be compensated for my lost items and bad experience. I have not heard back from anyone. I have called back two more times only to be told that the manager is not in.

I stayed at the Super 8 in Remington, Indiana and my card was charged twice. I was there on 8/3/12 and 8/4/12. I did not check in with my card on Friday the 3rd, it was an open account. I used my card on Saturday the 4th to pay for the 4th, only they were paid with my card but were only authorized to charge for the 4th. The open account was paid by cash, but they still charged my account anyway. There was also another charge on there, which no one could eradicate for.

In calling the Wauwatosa, WI Super 8, the answering machine says, "Welcome to our newly renovated Super 8." Really, I think they forgot our room. The cleaning people do not know what a dust rag is. There was dust on lamps and headboards, cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. Dresser drawers were missing, as were a couple of light bulbs. Carpeting was so disgusting you did not want to walk barefoot. Okay, we can overlook a couple of things. In returning to our room after a day at the fair, our room door was ajar. We had left our travel bags zipped shut with everything in them and stowed away on the luggage rack and the desk top.
Our luggage had been gone through, even our dirty clothes that were in a separate bag. The only things missing were a necklace and earrings which were in a cloth bag and stuffed in between a couple pairs of blue jeans. Then our clothes were shoved back in our suitcase and left unzipped. We called the cops. Of course, I do not expect to get these items back but come on, it's not like our things were left open. I am trying to reach the manager and find out what is being done. Obviously, I will never stay there again and will be checking Super 8s better before staying in one again. I suggest if you want to go to a Brewer game, do not stay at this Super 8!

We checked in to this hotel on Friday, Aug 3, 2012. We asked for a ground floor if possible because we had another couple with us who had knee problems. After opening the door to the room, it stunk of musty smell as well as had sticky spots on the carpet. Then when we used the bathroom, we noticed black mold on the wall. There was no fan in the bathroom and the vent looked like it had never been cleaned. When the other couple pulled back the sheets, they found them with 2 dirty spots on them. We had been riding a motorcycle since early morning and we were very tired. The next morning, we observed one of the cleaning ladies with a cigarette in her mouth while cleaning one of the other rooms next to us. There was coffee on her cart, in which we did not even have a coffee pot in our room. Then upon check out, my wife had to use restroom down the hall from the counter and no toilet paper was in either stall. We're very disappointed with the hotel as well as the dirty rooms. They were very dirty and we would never stay at one of these again. Thank you!

I'm a retired school teacher who rarely travels and isn't "sophisticated" as to the ways of the corporate world. I was taken by a scam I think Super 8 Motel is doing. A couple of nights ago, my wife and I stayed at the Super 8 Motel in Baton Rouge, LA. I was never asked if I preferred smoking or non-smoking. Restaurants used to ask this, so I expected Super 8 to follow their lead. We entered the musky room that was dimly illuminated on the outside. We smoked and used a paper cup with water in it for an ashtray. We probably each smoked two or three cigarettes, used the toilet with the broken plastic seat (that I reported on check-out), watched an hour and a half of TV on their broken TV set, went to sleep, made coffee the next morning and left.
As we were pulling out of our parking space, I spotted an obscure, badly faded no smoking sign under our room's window. I could have returned to the room and emptied the room's trash can with the cigarette butts. I could have left the room's door wide open. I could have borrowed the maid’s can of air freshener. But I was resentful they hadn't even asked me what kind of room we preferred, so I left it as is.
An hour later, I got the call that we were being charged $150 for "smoke damage." Seriously? The manager said it is company policy to not even ask the customer what he/she prefers. So they stick customers who smoke in non-smoking rooms. I promise this is true: their sign is very difficult to make out in their dim night lighting. My wife and I never saw it. The manager said there was another small sign on the room's door under the peephole. Again, we never saw this sign. Ever! If we had, we would have gotten another room! Duh!
So, every smoker smokes and gets billed an additional $150. Are you smelling something besides cigarette smoke here like I am? I'm smelling a scam. This company doesn't want you to choose a smoking room. They're making too much off this scam! Yes, I wrote the headquarters requesting clarification of this insane policy and a refund. Do you think I'll ever get either? What we've learned: you get what you pay for. We'll pay an extra $20 for a morally responsible service. Next time I will insist on a smoking room. And obviously, we'll never stay at a Super 8 Motel!

We reserved a room on August 1, 2012 at the Super 8 in Great Falls, Montana. We reserved 2 rooms with 1 queen bed in each room, non-smoking. The Motel from the outside looked dirty and run down and the lobby didn't look much better. Out in the back where we came in, there was trash all over and the carpet was ripped across the tops of the stairs, a real tripping hazard. The receptionist was not friendly. She gave us our keys and we went to the assigned rooms. We opened the door to the first room and noticed that the curtains were coming off the curtain rod. The room smelled and was run down and filthy.
We went to the next room hoping it would be better. The curtains were only coming off the rod in one place, but as I was looking around, I noticed the tub in the shower was black and you could see footprints. There was a ring of mold all around the bathtub and the floor was sticky. I scrubbed the floor and the towel was black. There was no stopper in the sink. The edge all around the room was greyish white where it had not been vacuumed in a very long time. The lampshades were broken and stained, the remote to the TV didn't work. The bedspread was ripped and stained, the recliner was ripped, cat clawed, and dirty. The AC cover was dirty, the windowsills were gross. The sheets were suspect and the blanket was so gross I wouldn't even touch it.
We had to wear flip flops in the room and in the shower because they were so dirty. Of course they were sold out and there were no cancellations and no refunds and no other rooms, What a racket! They take your money and don't deliver what they supposedly offered. Isn't that fraud? We went to the store and bought pillows, sheets, and blankets, came back to the room and changed everything. I would never stay at another Super 8 as long as I live. I would rather sleep in my car. There should be an agency that follows up on all the complaints that Super 8 gets.
I want my money back, but I am getting that that probably won't happen, and that is just wrong. For all the extra money we had to spend to get clean linens, we could have stayed in an upscale motel and saved ourselves the stress of having to deal with such a disaster! Super 8 is on my list of places never to stay again, and I will make it my mission to let everyone know what a disaster these motels are, and they aren't cheap (I documented everything that was wrong in the room with photos)!

Do you have enough space (for my complaint)? We stayed at room 1159. The TV snowed so we moved to 1155. I should have gotten my money back! The TV only had half the amount of snow. The lounge chair was broken, which should be thrown in the garbage. The microwave and the coffee maker were broken. I left at 8am and returned 11pm and the room wasn't cleaned and all dirty towels were still on floor. Sadly, the maid was new. If this was not enough, here is the reason we will never go to this hell hole again. The pipe to the hot water is so hot that as soon as you turn the knob, you have to have a towel to turn it off. My dad has no feeling in his hands so he would not know he was getting burned unless someone had taken a shower first. I told the manager someone was going to get burned but he didn't have much of a response. This was scalding water, as soon as you turn the knob. They really have a big problem that should have been addressed already. This motel is located at 152 Eisenhower Drive Commerce, GA. We're not ever going to forget the motel from hell and never going there again!

I used the toilet, went to wash my hands and there was no water. I called the front desk and they said the water would be off for a while. I explained that I would like to shower (I have to now notify the front desk when I’ll be in my room to shower). I asked for another room. The front desk offered me another place to shower, not another room.
I asked for a refund and because it was Priceline, that I would have to contact them. I contacted Priceline and they talked to Super 8 denying a refund. It appears that Super 8 offers bed, bath, pool, weight room, but doesn’t and can't provide the service they claim to offer. I checked out and ended up at Sleep Inn and got what they offered. I feel that the owner of Super 8 and their association with any corporation are only interested in a dollar, not customer satisfaction. By refusing a refund, they committed fraud by not honoring their end of the contract. Be careful of potential theft of funds by their bait and switch practices.

This hotel was located on Warm Springs Rd in Columbus, Georgia. I got there and first off, even though I had reserved a smoking room, there was no ashtray plus the room accommodated four people but only two sets of towels so I had to go retrieve these items. We made our beds before leaving for activities at Fort Benning and when we came back, one of the beds and the bedding were turned back. Not sure what the purpose of this was. They never emptied the garbage or vacuumed the floors and took the dirty towels but never left the same amount of clean ones. We constantly had to hunt someone down to get more towels. Not sure why they even came in the room if they weren't there to clean. There were doors busted in and was basically a dive. I wish I would have just got a refund and went elsewhere. I couldn't believe that a Super 8 would be in that condition.

The floors have not been cleaned ever, I am sure. There is no place to park to enter the front desk area. They had a grill going in the drive-in area with two creeps cooking something! I checked in because I was dead tired. I parked my car as near to the one entrance door. It was not marked and it was not explained how to get in the damn thing! I had to walk back up to the front desk to ask. I walked back to the one door and finally got it opened. The door itself was filthy and so was the surrounding area outside the door. Trash everywhere!
I walked in and was absolutely shocked at the filth on the carpets in the halls and up the stairs. They too had not been swept in a very long time! They were stained and there was trash up and down the hall. I got into my room and once again, was appalled at the condition! The pillowcases were dirty and the bedspread stunk to high heaven.

Super 8 motel, National City, CA (near the Naval Base) - First off, I would like you all to know that this motel does not have a jacuzzi. I asked the attendant on the phone if it was working and she said yes. When I checked in, I did not see the pool or jacuzzi. I asked the attendant about them and she told me where the pool was and said the jacuzzi was not working. I told her the attendant who took my reservation said it was working, then this woman told me "Oh, they just shut it down." I took pictures of the jacuzzi, it has a cement lid poured over it with a patio table and chairs enjoying it! So on to the rest. I called 4 weeks in advance and reserved 2 rooms with the front desk woman attendant, both rooms on bottom floor (one person in our party just had surgery), non-smoking and a pet in one room and double beds in the other room.
When we arrived to check in, the attendant only showed me booking "online" one room/one bed and she informed me the reservation was cancelled because my credit card was denied! I informed her I never reserved a room online and that's maybe why the order got cancelled - no credit card was entered! After a very long time of her non-help whatsoever, I found my confirmation number. Then, she was able to locate my actual reservation. She informed me it was in a different place. If we did not show up when we did, the rooms would have been gone. On that reservation, she did show me getting 2 rooms, but with only one bed per room! I was very upset because we had 6 people needing to sleep!
Finally, the actual woman who took my reservation came into work and she remembered my reservation because of the silly conversation we had. She could not explain why it came out with only one bed per room, then the other woman attendant just left. So, I had to basically "start over" with where we left off with the new attendant. The first attendant refused to call the manager because they were "off" that day and she would not shift anyone around to accommodate what I had reserved so far in advance! We left the motel to find another place to stay and I told them to keep the reservation just in case. Every hotel and motel we went to and called on were all sold out! We were gone for about an hour and we ended up back at this Super 8, with 2 single rooms on the second floor.
The one pet room smelled horrible because it was a smoking room too! No deodorizer was used to freshen the room, not even leaving the window open. This motel did not have any rollaways or extra mattresses, and we ended up using extra blankets/sheets to make another bed on the floor in front of the door! The first attendant had no regard to the fact of what type of room, etc. we reserved! The second attendant did apologize and gave us a small break for the pet fee for some of our trouble and it turned out right after we checked out. The manager told her to bill my credit card for the pet fee because she did not have the authority to remove it!
After quite a few phone calls to the motel the next day and hearing "Sorry about that, there is nothing we can do," I informed her I would call corporate that next day and let them know that my credit card was fraudulently charged without my okay for something that was removed at check-in. I received a call that evening notifying me my card would be credited back that pet fee. No one in our party will ever stay at this Super 8 National City again and I doubt anyone will ever stay at any Super 8 motels from now on!

I called and reported it immediately and said I would be down soon. I stopped at the desk and was handed a container of Lysol Bleach wipes at my request. I told them I would wipe it down because I did not want anyone in my room. I was not offered another room. But after returning to my room, I decided to take a good look around the room with wipes in hand. Oh my God, all I saw was nasty filth. There was a 2-inch dirt perimeter around the entire room where the vacuum cleaner ended and where the wall began. Gross! Same ring around the wall perimeter on the dark green carpeting in the halls too.
Behind the headboards, I found crumbs, dust, dirt and food particles. The nightstand and desk appeared clean, but were sticky and had matted dirt on the edges. TV and stand were dusty. Headboards were dusty and would not pass the white glove test. The coffee pot and tray were dusty. The splash board for the sink was nasty. These all gave me the creeps. Needless to say, I emptied the container of wipes because I scrubbed the room. I did not sleep well on the 400 year old mattress. The next day, I went to the store and bought my own cleaning supplies and deep cleaned the room all over again. I also bought laundry soap and washed the bed spreads.
I also talked to the manager the day after we arrived. She was already aware of the situation and then offered another room. I told her this, "Hell no. But thank you anyway. My room is currently the cleanest room in this place." And that's the only reason why we stayed in our room. She made a ton of excuses as to why it was dirty - it's a dusty area; we have been booked up with construction workers and have not had time to really deep clean it, etc. If she had not started with the excuses, I would probably not be writing this right now. No excuses are acceptable. Sorry Ms. Julie **, General Manager, clean up that nasty, dirty hotel and quit making excuses for your lack of management skills.

When we walked to the elevator, the halls were so hot it was like they didn't have AC at all. The hall carpets looked as if they had not been cleaned since the building was built. When we entered the room, it smelled like mildew and mold. And I think the reason why was because the air conditioner leaked the entire time we were there. By the time we checked out, the whole side of the room was wet. When we asked for an extra pillow, you would have thought that we were asking for a kidney. When we asked for one more towel for showers, the man said that he would have to check our room first then get back to us. Needless to say, we never got that towel. I am so disappointed about our stay. I would never stay at a Super 8 nor would I recommend it to anyone.

From the start, I asked if we could get a room on first floor. Response was, "No, we're busy (no other information offered by front desk)." I went downstairs later to ask for pillows and tell front desk our TV didn't work. Response was, "We're busy, we don't have any pillows. (for tv) You must have gotten an older TV and it was on its last leg. If you mess with the auxiliary plugs, it might work." My response: "Wow, really? I have to fix your TV?" Response: "There's nothing I can do about it (We weren't offered any alternatives or solutions. Just a flat "there's nothing we can do about it)".
I spent over 20 minutes trying to figure out if I could fix the TV. I called my son, who helped me fix their TV. In the morning, I was getting coffee in the hallway since the breakfast area wasn't open. They have always had flavored coffee creamers in basket, but there weren't any. I asked for a few and was told I couldn't get flavored coffee creamer before 6. I said "you're kidding, right?" So, she went and got a few, but not without attitude. After breakfast, I asked for swim towels for myself and granddaughter. Response: "What's your room number?" I told her and she put 2 towels on counter, no eye contact, no other verbal communication, and walked away. I have stayed at Super 8 for over 12 years at least once a year and this year 3 times.
I will never stay there again and would never recommend the one in Kennewick, WA. I want my money back from this trip and the last two b/c the same front desk girl has been rude, unhelpful, abrupt, and never made eye contact any of the three times. I've always felt like I burdened her and the hotel with the simplest requests.

On June 26th, I arrived at the Super 8 in Millington, TN to go to my sister's funeral. We had paid for two rooms. One room was okay. I was pleased with that room but the other room was the worst room I have ever seen and should have been condemned and let no one stay in that room. It had a horrible smell to it, like mold or mildew, carpet soured or something. The room had a look of disrepair, like they started to remodel this room and stopped in midstream and changed their mind and put some things back where they were thought to have gone. Wallpaper was missing and sheetrock was showing. When notifying management, they did not care or even offered to let us change rooms. The only thing that seemed to get their attention is saying we would report them or give them a bad review on the internet. I will put this on other websites to notify everyone that this hotel is not worth staying in, in my opinion!

On Friday, June 29, I made a reservation for a room in Pittston, PA via the Super 8 online site. On Monday, July 2, I needed to cancel the reservation. I was told I could not cancel because I had made the reservation online and I was stuck with it. Apparently, online reservations are not changeable or cannot be cancelled. This is totally unfair and ridiculous. There is not a reason that a reservation can't be cancelled 5 days out simply because it was made online.

I reserved two rooms for the weekend with Super 8 at the Kansas Riverside location. I got to the hotel and nothing was reserved even with confirmation #. We had to get a room on 2nd floor when we requested lower, in which I am glad we did get it on 2nd because my parents stayed on the 1st floor and it was full of ants, the TV broken, sheets dirty, carpet dirty, and had food crumbs under the bed. The coffee pot did not work and there was no water pressure. As for our room, no water pressure, dirty sheets, carpet filthy, door did not shut properly, hair dryer did not work, cereal under the bed. And when we did call down to complain, you could not understand what he was saying and then he began to laugh on the phone. We went down to complain and he said he would take care of the ants but he never showed up. We asked for another blanket and different sheets and he said he would have to charge us. My parents did not stay another night and when they went down to check out, they asked why. What the hell? Are they that stupid?

To begin, I reserved 2 rooms a month in advance to stay in non-smoking rooms. When I arrived, both rooms were smoking. The rooms were filthy, the refrigerator had mold, and there's white substance behind the beds and dust on dresser and headboards. To add, the sink had not even been cleaned, and the hole in the side of the faucet allowed water to spray. The shower plug was not in, and the drain was full of hair. Also, the floors of the room had not been vacuumed. Needless to say, no one took off shoes, and no one used the showers. Further, the freezer had an inch of ice and had not been defrosted. The last straw was mold on the breakfast muffins.
When I asked for a refund, I was told that there was no manager available and they would not be in until that night, if then. The stay at this Super 8 (Pipestone, MN) was a nightmare. I will never stay at a Super 8 again, and I suspect neither will my other family, friends, and co-workers. I would have attached photos of all of the above if this site allowed.

We arrived at the Super 8 Motel in Abilene, TX at 1525 E. Stamford Rd. on Sunday. They charged us for Saturday and Sunday. I told the front desk I needed the room from Sunday to Monday and we would be checking out Tuesday. So, my daughter and I had to check-in to another room.

I made a reservation for an overnight stay at Super 8 in Mackinaw City, MI (Bridgeview). Upon check-in, the outside is beautiful; but when you first walk in the door it smells like animal urine. The front desk clerk checked us in and gave us room keys. We went to the room and it was bad. We got a room with a Jacuzzi tub and the bottom of the tub had a sticky substance on it, so we went to the front desk and asked for another room. The clerk took us to another room. We didn't like that one either (dirty) and asked for a refund. She said we couldn't get one and that they have a 3-day cancellation policy. I had made the reservations the night before, so I never had 3 days before arrival. So we ended up staying.
I was reading the folder book that was in the room about everything that the hotel has to offer. It says pool table (located off pool area) in the book, so we went to go and look. Yeah, there’s no pool table. We went to look for the work-out room like the book told us there was - yeah, there’s no work-out room. So, we went back to the front desk. We asked where the pool table and weight room were. She said they don't have that. We came back to the room and took pictures of the book. The room had a ceiling fan in it. I turned that on. That was a mistake. It was noisy, dirty and was falling apart. The blades were only screwed in by one screw. I took pictures of that, too. The small compact refrigerator, about a 2x2, was just sitting on the floor. And lastly, the breakfast area is way too small for a hotel that size. There’s no room to sit as the crowd of people was just too many. We went back to the room, packed and went to the local Burger King for breakfast. I will never stay at a Super 8 again.

My husband was staying at the Wickenburg, Arizona Super 8 last week when he was working at a mine in that area. (The company he works for used to have a commercial account with this hotel. But after this, they will no longer be booking rooms for their employees to stay at when they're working up there.) Because of the Arizona heat, he buried his iPod Nano in his clothing in his luggage and left it in his room when he left for work. When he got back, it was gone. Giving the hotel and the employees the benefit of the doubt, he checked everywhere even though he knew he had left it buried in his clothing in his luggage.
After checking everywhere for his iPod, he went to the front desk and informed the manager that his iPod had been stolen from his luggage. The manager was uninterested at best and rude. The manager told my husband that "his employees would never do that." Well, obviously, they did. The manager did, however, say he would ask the maid who cleaned the room if she had it. Really? Like she's going to say, "Sure! I stole it. Let me give it back!” My husband told his supervisor, and his supervisor told their main office so the company will no longer be using Super 8 Hotels. They lost a huge commercial account because an employee stole a $179 iPod. That's brilliant business.
There has also been a police report filed and the serial number to the iPod has been entered into the stolen goods file with local, state and federal authorities. It seems like a big deal to make over a $179 iPod but it was stolen and we can't abide by a thief. I would very much warn people about leaving anything in their room at a Super 8, even if all they're doing is trying to make a living. In the end, the theft of a $179 iPod cost the Wickenburg Super 8 hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue. My husband also said the room was unbelievably dirty. It was so dirty that he kept the pillow he usually uses in his car so he would stand less of a chance of bringing anything home.

Super 8 motel Kingston, Ontario, two-night stay In May 2012 - I'm very angry and dissatisfied overall. The washroom door would not close or lock. Room, lobby and grounds were very dirty. The key to the room would not scan so we had to go to the front desk so they could let us in. Breakfast was supposed to run from 7AM to 10AM, so we were down there at 9AM and there was hardly anything there to eat and they had two tables with six chairs to sit on. They were all taken so we had to bring the coffee and dried up piece of toast back to the room. I complained to the manager and all she had to say was "I'm sorry" and was very rude! We thought we could at least get a discount on the room but she said "No way!"
So dissatisfied that we will never consider staying at a Super 8 motel again! We will be letting everyone know that this was the worst experience ever and we travel quite often. To add to all this, we have never gone to a motel or hotel where they have half a roll of toilet paper, no soap, shampoo and one bath towel, one hand towel and one face cloth.

I called and made my reservations over the phone. I gave a credit card number, but told the clerk not to charge it and I would pay the price when I checked out like you do at all other motels. I was told that would be fine: “No problem.” I arrived and checked in and was then informed that I had to pay all money upfront! I travel all over the eastern seaboard and usually pay somewhere from $85.00 to $125.00 per night! I do shows over the weekend and get paid, so I have plenty of cash to pay a motel’s bill when I check out. Luckily, this time I had enough cash to pay upfront or I would not have had a room.
I always keep about $2,000 to $4,000.00 on my credit card just in case I need it or see something at the show I want to buy. But this time I had to pay upfront which put my cash money short. My complaint is that I have never, in the last 10 years of traveling almost every weekend, been required to pay upfront for my room. Is it because of my long hair? May be my beard? Or, maybe because I am a biker? Anyway, I will never again stay at a Motel 8, Super 8 or any motel to do with you guys. I will also let everyone at this show know about you guys and your practices (there will be about 4,000 people there) and I will let everyone I know about how you treat you customers.

The attending person there gave my husband the straws, but didn't offer to help fix the door. We still couldn't shut the door because the screws had too big of head on them. I didn't feel it was safe to even shower there for fear that they might give my room to someone else also and they might walk in on me.

Before I even started, they're having workers to keep calling in to see if they have to work and tell them no until they get tired of calling and quit. That is why they go through so many housekeepers because she doesn't want them there.

I recently had to quit my job of one year at the Super 8 in Taylor because of bed bug infestation and the mistreatment of guests and employees alike. When I started in April of 2011, there were only about 3 or 4 rooms with bed bugs, because the rooms were not properly treated. As of this May 2012, there are 20 rooms known to have bed bugs. I recently discovered that I had brought bed bugs home with me during a period that management had me putting infested rooms back together to rent out during the weekend and stripping them back down to put out of order for the week. When a guest would complain about getting bit by bugs, management would then tell the guest that they must have brought the bugs to the hotel. Any complaint the guest has would be blamed on the guest so they wouldn't have to take responsibility for the problems with the hotel. If an employee had an issue, the managers would tell the employee to ignore it or blame them. If an employee asked for a raise, management would blame them for any issues with the hotel and say they weren't properly doing their job so therefore they do not deserve a raise.

I can't believe this Super 8 could pass a corporate checkup, please send someone out unannounced and see for yourselves. Please don't let this facility speak for Super 8.

In February 2012, I reserved a room for two for 5/4 - 5/6. I was given a confirmation no. of ** and a price of $79.95 for Friday and $99.95 Saturday. Making the reservation was somewhat unusual. First, I called directly to Super 8 in New Paltz. I was told to go through a website to reserve, but found the website uncertain, so I called back and finally a reservation was made (reluctantly) with a discount for AARP. I arrived at the hotel and my reservation could not be found and the price was then $99.99 for Friday and $139 for Saturday and was told there was no discount for AARP. However, my son had made his reservation three weeks prior and was given an AARP discount. Sadly, my reservation was not confirmed by email, as was my son's.
Later, I was told my reservation was for a day earlier (their error). Carpet in rooms was old and soiled; breakfast was barely adequate. The brochure for the Super 8 New Paltz stated fruit and yogurt on breakfast bar. None was there and when I asked the desk clerk, I was told they no longer had yogurt and had run out of fruit; however, it wasn't there either day. The coffee/hot chocolate machine was out of order. Only the Saturday desk clerk was pleasant, the others bordered on rude. I didn't stay the additional day we had planned and will never return. I needed a needle and thread to sew a button that had fallen off a wedding tux, I asked at desk and was referred to a vending machine! I have always been skeptical of Super 8's. Some are better than others, but will never reserve a Super 8 room again.

I worked at the Super 8 motel in Taylor, MI with managers ** and **. I just had to quit my job because they had 20 rooms that had bed bugs and every day there are customers complaining that they had bed bugs in their room. They do not treat the room the way they should, so they are not going away when they spray that room. There’s a new room every day with bed bugs. It’s really bad. Thanks.

We booked a room through Priceline at the Super 8 in Naples, FL for February 1 and 2 of 2012. We got there, checked in, and found the room crawling with roaches. In addition, the photos of the Super 8 on Super 8's own website totally misrepresent the way that hotel really looks. We declined to stay there and asked for a refund. They said they couldn't refund my money because it was booked through Priceline. We went across the street and stayed at the Comfort Inn. We tried to deal with Priceline and got nowhere, so we went to Discover Card and asked them to hold payment to Priceline while they investigate. Discover got nowhere with Priceline or Super 8, but they agreed with me and they gave me a refund. The result is a warning to you - don't book through Priceline, don't stay at Super 8, and Discover Card was great! And, by the way, we stayed at 5 different Comfort Inns on our trip and were happy with them every time.

Upon staying here last night, 5/10/2012, in Brockton, MA, we were misled about the room we were receiving. The night worker said they had available jacuzzi suites and king sized beds/smoking and nonsmoking. Well we wanted just a plain smoking room and he said they had it. The price seemed high but it was late. I realized it was a jacuzzi room later on and tried to explain to him we didn't want it, that he misled us into getting it but he said it was all he had left. Ugh. So then we tried sleeping and the neighbors beside us were thumping on the wall, making noise, going in and out of their room, slamming their door and being loud waking us up.
We had to drive 3 hours to get to an appointment that next morning so I asked the guy before we went to our room to set us a wake-up call at 7 a.m. Well, we never got a wake-up call. I talked to the manager about our experience and he was rude. He said he would call his worker and ask what happened. I said, "We didn't get our wake-up call," and he said this never happens and that basically I was lying. He said it was my fault I didn't report the noise. Well, I was too tired to get up and report it as it was in the middle of the night. The manager did nothing but gave me a $20 off for all of this trouble. It was terrible I missed that wake-up call and they won't take responsibility for it.
I have never ignored a wake-up call as I generally naturally get up early anyway but the people in the room were noisy. I would have heard the phone; it was right next to me and now I have to pay for a room I didn't want (extra jacuzzi and a manager who accused me of lying about not getting a wake-up call). I don't know how the front desk could not have heard the noise as our room is right by the lobby and so were the noisy neighbors. They obviously do not care or take their customers' concerns seriously. I'm very unhappy with the service here.

This motel used to be the Baymont Inn, now has been changed to the Super 8 Motel. The Owners are running their businesses not by code and not by guidelines. The rooms are not clean, the beds have bedbugs, the rooms have mold in them and most of the things do not work and are falling about around the motel and in the rooms, plug outlets are not working. There are rooms where the tub is falling off the wall. There rooms are not cleaned, different things like trash and people’s dirty clothes are left in the room. The housekeeping does not clean the rooms properly. They do not have the proper cleaning supplies. They do not change the sheets or ever wash the blankets.
The only thing housekeeping does to the rooms is make the beds, empty the trash cans, put towels and toilet paper in the rooms. All of their housekeepers stay on the property. One of the housekeepers cannot read and spell, she drinks all the time while working and not working. The other housekeepers live on the property with their kids. One of the housekeepers cannot speak English and does not have a green card. They also have three guys who live on the property that have free rooms and sometimes move them around to the different property they own. The guys are homeless, drunk drug users, they are not clean and are even safe; they clean up, do whatever the hotel owner asks them to do, but most the time do not do it and do not know how to do the work. They pay them cash and give them a free room and a couple of dollars here and there for cigarettes and things. The owner also has his own family living in the motel in one of the suites. There are only two girls working now at the front desk: one has been working there for a couple of months and her friend that she just brought with her to start working there. They both live on the property.
The hotel offers things that they do not have. They are overcharging for the rooms and charging guests extra charges they should not charge are not allowed by law to charge and a charge that does not account for anything. They are always booking rooms they do not have and show picture of rooms that are not really and do not look like the rooms they really have. Their complimentary breakfast is not safe. Where they keep the food at is not safe and not clean. They never clean the containers the milk and juice are in. They just pour new with the old. They leave the food out and open not covered. They do not clean the containers they put the food in for the guest and put the food on top of plain printing paper. They do not keep the lobby area cleaned, wiped down the office bathroom has a bad smell. The owner does not pay the wages he is supposed to pay his employees, he always does not always pay on time and not pay you what he is supposed to by your time card and does not pay you for your overtime. He always pays some people in cash and others in check and sometimes, both check and cash.
This hotel is not in good standing by law or health code. The owner is not legit and a fair person and does not run his business by the laws and rules of the motel. Their paperwork is never in order and are not correct. Most the time, they have changed names of the motel and they are still not up to date and all the way changed info. Everything about this motel, the owner is not correct and not in order by law and proper guidelines. I could say so much more.

I made a reservation approx. 6 weeks before my arrival and stipulated I desired a room not on the lobby floor. When I arrived, I was told by a very apathetic front-desk person that the second floor was "all booked up" and I would have to take a room on the lobby floor. The entire lobby area smelled from chlorine and the pool was closed, and I was never told ahead of time and the site did not mention it either. I had checked online the day before my arrival to ensure my reservation. The Super 8 site said "no reservations found." When I called, however, the reservation was confirmed; the site is not working appropriately. When I reiterated this to the person at the desk, she was totally uncaring and in fact, was reading a paper and commenting on how 'this makes no sense' and barely acknowledged me. The whole experience was negative and I would not stay at a Super 8 again. I intend to contact the BBB and fully expect some monetary compensation.

We arrived in Nashville exhausted and looking forward to hitting the pool and spa to loosen up and relax. We booked our lodging with these specifics in mind. If they weren't important to us, we would have selected a less expensive listing online. We had the room for four nights and were unable to get the use of the pool as it was an indoor, totally unheated cold pool. We would have had to add hot water to the spa to get it warm enough to qualify as a comfortable bathtub.
We approached the motel's "director of sales" Mark ** and were coldly informed we had booked only the room and the rest were only amenities. He obviously had no interest in the comfort or concerns of his customers. We will never darken the doors again nor encourage anyone else to use this motel as they use false advertising to get customers.

There are two things that happened during our stay of 3 days in the Super 8 Hotel in St-Jerome, Quebec, Canada. The room was in my spouse’s name, Luc **.
1.) The coffee machine was not working properly and we asked for a functional machine for the next morning. The old one was removed but not replaced. There was no coffee in our room for two days. When we called the reception, we were told that they did not have one for our room.
2.) The shower curtain was all but clean and is full of mildew. We asked that the curtain be replaced by a clean one. The old one was removed and replaced by nothing. I had to take a bath instead of a shower. We did not want to make a mess in the bathroom. Respect!
On our day of departure, we met the person in charge of the cleaning ladies and explained. She said there were two new coffee machines on her desk, but nobody cared to bring one to our room the previous night during her absence. Where is your respect? The coffee story was not a life or death situation, but the shower curtain was. My husband received two transplantations, a kidney and a pancreas. He has to be very careful not to be exposed to mildew or any other form of bacteria or virus.
We think that our legitimate requests were not respected considering that we paid for some services that were denied to us. We claim we should be refunded in part for the inconvenience and the dangers to which my husband was exposed. We wanted to send a complaint to the hotel in St-Jerome, but their site mentioned that it might have been pirated. We did not want to take a chance that our computer will get infected.

To my family members in Perryville and to families or organizations in Perryville who might have visitors coming to town. If your visitors require a motel, please do not refer them to the Super 8 Motel. The following tale of our unfortunate experience will explain why I ask that.
On April 13, 2012, we had the misfortune of staying at the Super 8 Motel in Perryville, Missouri. Our party had driven all day for a funeral the next day, so a good night’s rest was important to us. Alas, it was not to be. We were given first floor rooms. Directly above us, the motel put a group in town for a soccer event. At about 7 in the evening, the soccer people began a raucous party complete with stomping and pounding on the floor. Their partying made sleep impossible. We complained to the desk clerk who explained that she could do nothing until 10 PM. Near the check-in counter, there is a sign that says if a guest creates a disturbance, they will be told to leave and will not receive a refund. Obviously, the sign is there for show and means absolutely nothing. The clerk never offered to move us to a quieter room nor did they offer to move the noisemakers to another room. The desk clerk did absolutely nothing to address the problem and refused to even say something to the noisemakers until after 10 PM.
At 10 PM, promptly, we again went to the check-in counter to complain about the noise that by then had been going on for a full 3 hours. The noise stopped for a few minutes only. It began again as soon the offenders became secure in the knowledge that the Super 8 clerk was not going to do anything about it. The noise continued intermittently from 10 PM until the wee hours of the morning.
By its actions (or rather by its lack of actions), this sad excuse for a motel announced to the world that if you stay with them, you have absolutely no assurance of anything even remotely resembling a good night’s rest. If you are able to sleep undisturbed in the Super 8 Motel, it will be because you are lucky not because the motel staff did anything to assure your comfort. We were there and we know they do nothing.
They did nothing for us! Do you think your visitors will be treated any better? To insure that as many people as possible learn of our experience, this letter will be sent to all the members of our family in the hope that they will pass it on to as many of their friends and acquaintances a possible. It will be sent to as many Perryville businesses and organizations as possible. It will also be posted on my personal website where 100,000 people per year will have the opportunity to read it.

I had a week long stay. I reported problems with room (i.e. toilet loose and water started coming out from under it; air conditioner cover of unit falling off the wall) and also signed up when checking in for room cleaning. They cleaned the room from top to bottom and changed sheets. My wife marked sheets and I had set on my bed and ate some cashews found a piece of a cashew inside the sheets after one of the days we had requested a sheet change. When checking out, we reported the matter. I did expect at least an apology - maybe when pigs fly... Response was you're supposed to put a card on each bed I guess to request a change. Okay, why have a sheet to sign on days of requested room service when you check in or are you supposed to put a card on the sign in sheet when you check in as well? The big kicker other than not getting at least an apology was the manager didn't have the common courtesy to even come out of the office.
And now I see why hotels and motels have bed bug problems. I called Super 8 and reported the incident. I was told that I would hear from the property within a certain time period. I stated the manager doesn't come out when I was at the hotel to speak to me. Why would I want to speak to her/him now? I guess Super 8 could care less. Well, I know they could care less but they lost me as customer and maybe just maybe others after they read this post. I pay for a room with the services not for me to place signs on beds. Why have us pick days? And last question is can't they read a schedule or what rooms are weekly stays and when they want room cleaned? Oops, one more... a simple "I am sorry" from a lazy manager says a lot about the manager! Oh, this Super 8 was on War Memorial drive in Peoria, Illinois.

A recent stay at the Houston Brookhollow location had me telling everyone to avoid the company in general.

It now appears that after some research the maid took the clock and made a preemptive strike claiming I stole the clock. The charge didn't even reflect the price of an average room clock, which made the matter even more fishy. I highly suggest that everyone avoid Super 8 properties to avoid being accused of theft.

Also, the furniture was in very bad repair and obviously, in need of major cleaning.

My original total I paid online was $224 and he said my new total would be $255. So a difference of about $31...right? No not at all. After we were in the nasty hotel for 3 nights and already in the next day, a woman came to our door when we were on our way out telling us we never paid for the extra night. And we needed to clear that up. So I went up to the desk they charged my credit card $78. I said to the girl that the other guy already gave me a price of $31. She started to laugh in my face and said, “I don't think so.” Well, going back to when we first got to the hotel... as soon as we walked in, it smelled like an old person died. So I bought something to make the room not smell so bad.
Then the locks didn't work right, it looked like someone tried to knock down the door. I thought the area didn't look that bad during the day. Then night came we had a hooker walk from 1 hotel room to another sorting money out, my other half went out to get our daughter some milk when he came back he said we are not going out at night. Also our bathroom door had a hole in it. The carpets made our feet black, and smelled. The maid knocked on our door and when I opened it, I had towels thrown in my face. But at least I got towels that time, the next time (3 days later) the maid came in and took all our towels.
Thank god I brought towels with us because they didn't have any left. They kept telling us and other people they didn't have any. Nobody was helpful. We were kept up from other people having a party or something. While we were at the hotel, there were fights between rooms, drug deals going on. Our room only got semi-cleaned 1 time. We couldn't go in the pool because there was needles in the water and it was dirty. I would have went somewhere else but I didn't have the money. We weren't in Florida for fun, we had to see family. I was scared for my safety and my family's.
I felt if I went to the desk about everything, they would hurt us or take our stuff when we were out. I cried every night we had to stay in that place. We just got home early this morning. I have never felt like our lives were in danger before I stayed at this hotel. Please give me my money back. I will never go back to this Super 8 Hotel. I was told that Super 8 was a great place and kid-friendly. I don't think so.

I checked into the Super 8 motel in Jonesboro, AR on 2/11/12 and checked out about 8:30 a.m. on 2/13/12. I paid my bill of $170.22. On my debit card statement, there is a pending charge for $68.08. I have talked to Sherry at Super 8 and she said they could not find anything and there was nothing she could do. I need a credit issued for this $68.08 as soon as possible. I have stayed at many Super 8 motels over the years and have never had a problem. I will be back in Jonesboro sometime in the next couple of months and unless this is resolved I will not be staying at the Super 8. Thank you for your assistance.

I have stayed at Super 8 Hotels many times throughout the United States and always have had a nice stay without any problems. As a matter of fact, I look for Super 8 Hotels because I know that they are reputable and clean rooms that I can trust, however, I recently stayed at a hotel in Port Wentworth Georgia, at first the motel seemed okay, not great but okay to stay the night. The office area and breakfast area looks really nicely taken care of but the rooms are not as well taken care of.
I put all of my things in the room, took a quick shower and left to get something to eat and venture around the area to look for work. I was in the process of trying to move to Savannah, looking for work and a nice place to live. When I went back to the hotel, my cat had a powdery substance all over her. I thought this might be dust from the bed and washed her off and did not think anything else about it. I left for quite a while to have my car worked on and came back about 12:30pm exhausted. I laid down on the bed and tried to sleep, I started itching around my legs and face, but thought this might just be dry skin or something. I got up to go to the bathroom and the toilet almost overflowed. I called into the office and the clerk told me that it was because when it rains their plumbing clogs up and that the city has been called they are working on it. I told her I needed to go to the bathroom, she offered to let me use the office bathroom, got me a plunger from room 103 to have me plunge my toilet and said it would be fixed soon.
I called back awhile later and it still was not fixed, she offered to move me to room 205. I asked isn't the plumbing issue throughout the hotel, she said only on the first floor. She again stated that it should be fixed soon. I said I would wait a little while and see if it was fixed. In the meantime, my cat started foaming at the mouth and walking crooked around the room. About this time welts showed up on my arm and my leg as well as the itching increased. I packed us up and moved everything into my vehicle. I asked for my money back from the room at about 1 pm or so-the clerk stated she didn't have authority and she would have to wait until 7am when the owner came in. I said that wasn't going to work for me. She told me she was running the audit and could not do anything until about 5am when it completed.
I went up to the front desk and she wouldn't answer the buzzer. I went back to the room and called and she stated that the buzzer is broken. Eventually, I walked up to the front office where I found another couple requesting their money back, they also refused. The clerk stated that she called the owner and he said because I was in the room so long he would not return the money. I don't believe that I or my animals should get sick from staying in a hotel room. I also don't believe that I should have to plunge my own toilet to be able to use it. This motel room had holes in the wall a powdery substance around the bed and plumbing issues. (I know that room 103 has plumbing issued because the clerk called her to borrow her plunger). I also have been informed that bed bugs may be an issue for this hotel but do not have confirmation of this. I also have been informed that they fumigated a couple of weeks prior to my staying at this location but was not informed of this from the front desk.
I ended up taking my cat to the vet where she stated she thought that Borax may have been the cause. My cat was shampooed and was sick for a couple of days but basically okay. Scared 10 years of life from me. It took a couple of days and a couple of showers for the welts and itching to go away but we are all okay now. I, however, am still very frustrated and angry that this Super 8 does not take better care of their rooms and their guests. I am leery of using Super 8 after this experience and am hoping that you will restore my faith in your hotels and company by ensuring that this Super 8 is penalized for their lack of concern for guests and the health and safety of their hotel.

My wife and I stayed at the Super 8 in Chillicothe, IL on Feb. 18, 19 and 20 and checked out early on the morning of Feb. 21, 2012. The last morning we were in the hotel, we found bed bugs on the headboard and under the mattress. Now we are back home and are washing/disinfecting all of our clothing, luggage and everything else we had in the room. Had I known the hotel was infected with bed bugs, we would have never stayed there! I would like a refund of the money we spent at this hotel for all of the inconvenience and work we must now do to try to keep bedbugs from infecting our house.

I stayed at Super 8 Florence, KY on 12/29/11, room 207. The room appeared clean, but I later saw an empty pop can under the TV stand, and cigarette butt on the floor, between the bed and the nightstand. It was supposed to be a "non-smoking room". There were no towels in the bathroom. I had to go to the front desk twice, to request them for our room. On the 2nd request, they gave us towels, but they were not fluffy towels, but those that are with very thin quality, and looks well used (if at home, they would have been thrown away!). The bed was not comfortable. We had traveled about 600 miles that day, and just wanted to have a good night's rest. Unfortunately, because of our room's condition, uncomfortable bed, we did not sleep, and had a terrible stay. It seemed as if it was under new management, and no one knew what they were doing.

I spoke to Ashley at corporate office at 11:58 AM on Feb. 1st, about a very bad experience we had while staying at Super 8 hotel in Daytona Beach on January 27th. We checked out on January 28th. Ashley mentioned that we would have a resolution to the problem by February 7th and probably before. She gave me the case # **, address is at Super 8 Daytona Beach, 2992 West International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach 32124, person on duty at checkout was Kelly.
An assistant manager that I spoke to at 5:02 PM on Feb 28th was Johnny. Credit was to be issued that night. There is still no credit on my credit card. I called Mindy at Florida location on Feb. 1st. She again mentioned Johnny was not in, but took my phone number for Johnny to call, still no phone call.
Problem was someone had urinated on the carpet in the room. Also, someone had vomited on one of the chairs that were positioned around the table. Then after my wife had fallen asleep after 10 PM, I prepared to retire to bed. When I pulled back the sheets, there was crap. Yes, poop on the sheet that wrapped the mattress. Also, at the top of the same sheet were appeared to be semen stains all over the top part of that same sheet. Being so late, I threw the sheets back over the bed and laid on top of the covers in my clothes.
In the early morning, I went down to the office and spoke to supervisor in charge, Kelly. She came down to the room, room # 116 and could not believe her eyes. That is when she gave me the assistant manager’s name Johnny to call after 2 o'clock that day when he started his shift. Johnny agreed to put a credit through but to this point no credit has been issued nor have I had any response from customer service - complaint department. The # I called on Feb. 1st was 1-800-454-3313. Ashley mentioned that customer service # was 1-800-454-3509. I am looking to have this issue resolved in a prompt manner. My cell # is **, Al **. Please call me to rectify this problem or email me with your proposed resolution on Wednesday Feb. 8th. Thank you.

Denied allowing dogs for shows and was also told the manager was not in and no one was covering for him/her. I called the corporate # from the internet explained to her my complaint. She called the hotel and explained to me she talked directly to the manager, who was in, and they flat out do not allow dogs. I am beyond mad right now. MB-F has been contacted to let them know the service I received and requested this hotel be removed from their premium list and no longer recommend this hotel for dog shows.

I booked a room for a week (01/28/2012 thru 02/04/2012) and was woken up by the manager at Super 8 West Fargo, 825 East Main Ave, West Fargo North Dakota, 58078. He was knocking on my door. He found his room service woman hiding in my bathroom, intoxicated. I was asleep and had no knowledge of her even being in my room, unauthorized.
The manager, Jay, then threatened to call the police on me. To what purpose I still do not understand. And then he refused to refund my money after I decided to leave. I will never stay at another hotel owned by or affiliated with your corporation. This was a complete and utter waste of money and I plan to post complaints wherever I can due to this experience.

We arrived at 10pm on January 19th, 2012. We came to San Antonio to attend an air force graduation. When we first got into the room, we noticed that both of the bedspreads were torn badly. However, we were able to dismiss that because we were so tired. My son & I bought a coke to drink w/ice from the machine when we reached for the cups in our room provided by the Hotel, the bottoms were covered in dead bugs, all 3 cups. That is absolutely disgusting. My husband took the cups to lobby to show the lobby clerk, the girl behind the desk gave us new cups. Then she proceeded to lie back down on the couch as if nothing happened. We were not at all happy with the fact that dead bugs were in the cups.
In the morning when I turned on the bathroom light an adult roach crawled out from behind the mirror. I had to take a towel and knock it to the floor, for fear it would drop on my head. I feel quite sure that the hotel is responsible for some sort of extermination protocol. There was absolutely no way we would eat the continental breakfast. I wonder now what other kinds of bugs were crawling around while we slept. I want my money back from our stay. ASAP! I will not take no for an answer, if you do not respond to my request I will be forced to contact the Better Business Bureau. I have not written a review to the public yet on the internet but will be forced to if I do not receive a refund. I am letting you know in advance it will not be one that reflects positive on Super 8.

I was told to give my ID as a visitor to Motel 8 in Cortaro, Arizona. I was okay with this then she said that there is a $20 fee if you're visiting over an hour. Okay, so my friend paid the extra $20. Then when I was leaving, the manager screamed at me and said you have a dog in my motel. I replied that I'm disabled and that she is federally licensed service animal. Then another man said "okay, let's see your service animal license" which I replied "okay, I'll have to get in front of everyone in the hallway". Then he said "would you like me to call the police?". I said yes and then he said just leave the property and never come back. I'm disabled, my dog performs task for me and she is alert.
