I attempted to stay at the Super 8 in Dover, DE. I asked for a non-smoking room. The person at the front desk first gave me a room that was full of smoke and the room looked like someone just slept in the bed. When I asked for another room, the person at the front desk gave me the keys. When I went to the room, someone was already sleeping in the room and threatened me and my wife with a weapon. When I returned to the front desk again, the woman offered me two more room keys and told me to check to see if someone was in there. I said no and told her to check them.
The housekeeper returned and said someone was in both rooms. Finally, the front desk told me they had one last room available but that it wasn't clean but they could give me clean sheets if I wanted to make the bed myself. They would still charge me the full rate. After that, I asked for my money back and left the hotel. A few days later, I noticed on my credit card that the Super 8 Hotel re-charged my credit card again for $91.00. I had to dispute the charge on my credit card.

My booking at Super 8 Cranbrook, BC was made for July 12, 2012 and July 13, 2012, made through Wynn.com. When we reached the motel, we were told that someone had called and changed the reservation to 13 and 14 July instead and no rooms were available in the ground floor. However, they provided rooms in the second floor and without any elevator and with my aged parents, this stay is not justified with my booking made 3 months earlier. I do not recollect making any such phone calls to change my booking and therefore this is not acceptable to me. I would request the authority to ensure that without proper verification, such adjustments were not made and caused inconvenience to travelers like myself and my family driving 550 km to reach the motel.

Upon walking into our room at the Super 8 in Fairview Heights, Illinois in July 2012, I immediately noticed the air conditioner cover was filthy! And I mean disgustingly dirty. 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.

I made a reservation at the hotel in Dickinson, ND and asked for a ground floor. When I got to the hotel, there was no ground floor. You either had to go up six steps or down six steps. My wife has problem with steps. When we went to the room, the outside door was not locked, the security latch was broken. We get to the room and the lock on the door did not work properly. You had to push hard on the door to get it open because the latch did not work properly. In the room the drape rod was ready to fall off. The security lock on the door was missing. The room smelled and there was repair work done and it was terrible. I looked through the drawers and found stuff left from a previous person. I dropped a cover from a pill bottle behind the dresser. When I pulled the dresser out, it looked like the dresser was never pulled out since it was put there. I went to open the window and had to close it. The screen was coming apart. The rates are very high.
I stayed at hotels other than Super 8 and when you go into the room, it smelled clean and the rate was $50 cheaper with a better breakfast. I will not recommend this Super 8 to anyone. Four hundred dollars for three nights is ridiculous.

Super 8 Belleville, KS - The place look good, the lady that checked me in was nice. I told her that I would pay her for 4 nights and we might only stay 3 nights. I asked for a non-smoking room - okay the room was next to and across the hall from smoking rooms. The first night, the AC leaked and got the floor all wet. I changed rooms, a little better. Both rooms were dirty. The towels were like sand paper. I checked out on the morning after the 3rd night. The man didn't act like he knew how to check me out. I had forgotten what day it was, but he didn’t offer to refund the 4th night. In other words, it was a bad place to stay as much as they charge. Thanks. I thought you should know.

7/3, upon arrival, the one room 316 with 2 queen size beds, one of the beds wasn't complete. It did not have enough towels, wasn't vacuumed and the toilet didn't work. On 7/4, a note was left the next morning for them to do everything but beds. They took the dirty towels but didn't replace them. They took the used bars of soap but didn't replace them either. The following day we came back and there wasn't anything done to the floor, it was still dirty, towels in bath tub, no replacements. The light bulbs burned out, called and husband had to replace them. On 7/5, we came back at night and no towels! We went to make coffee and the pot stuck to the tray, the basket was missing. We wiped the tray and noticed behind the tray was dirty, washed the top and the wash cloth was black. Also, the TV was dirty. We stopped! When we went to office, she said we had a do not disturb sign up and we told her we didn't have a sign. We had to get more towels and soap.

My husband and I spent the 4th of July at the Hannibal, Missouri Super 8. I got home and discovered I'd left my make-up bag behind. I received the bag today minus a make-up application brush, Sephora bronzer, and an eyeliner pencil. The estimate of $25 is my loss. The room number was 110. Just thought you should know.

We reserved a double room for two nights in Nashville, TN near Opryland. We arrived for check-in at 12:45AM. 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. Needless to say, I believe there should be a refund.

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 asked the manager about this and he said very rudely that he could not help me and offered no assistance and rudely told me to go another place. I have always passed Super 8 and the chain up. Now, I know why I will never stay in any of them again - poor customer service and rude management.

When I told the front desk about the room being dirty, he said when I stayed again, I would receive an adjustment to the bill. I will not be staying at a Super 8 again. I have trusted the company to do the right thing, and offer clean rooms, or at least, "I'm sorry," a discount. So when I travel, I will not stay at Super 8 or any of their other chain motels. I feel you cannot be trusted to offer a clean, safe 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.

Totally disgusted – I arrived at hotel, checked in. I was advised there were only smoking rooms on the ground floor. I went to dinner and brought back the left-overs. The refrigerator was hot. I called to the front desk. They sent someone. He advised, "It will be fine." I was traveling with a 12-month-old baby and an 8-month pregnant woman. Food was ruined! The A/C did not work properly, only a little hot water in the shower. I will not ever stay at Super 8 again. The corporate office refused to give any room refund.

My husband asked for 2 extra pillows. The person at the counter told him, "Yeah, when I get to it.” Also, and most problematic, it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. I was immediately hit with a heavy smell of cigarette smoke. I went to the counter and asked if the room used to be a smoking room. The clerk answered no. I let him know that it is now because there was a heavy cigarette smell. The following is to let you know how bad the odor was. I need to use a CPAP breathing machine to sleep. The next day, when I got home that evening, I turned the CPAP on. Immediately, I smelled a strong odor of cigarette smoke through my hoses. I definitely needed to clean my hoses - twice. The room we used was semi-clean, but not what I would expect from a well-known business such as yours. I will not return to Super 8 again.

Rooms are flop rooms, lack of repair, bad smell, stained curtains - Super 8 at 1800 Harrisburg Pike, Carlisle, PA. I was in Carlisle for the Ford Mustang car show. I made reservations online with Priceline.com. I checked into the room from hell. I was given a key card and I was not able to get in. I went back to the office and told the assistant manager that the key card did not work. The manager told the maid to open the back door to the room. The repairman checked the lock out and found batteries in the lock needed changing.
The manager offered a second room that had a bad odor; it smelled like feet odor. I went back to the office and told the manager that the room had a bad odor in it. The manager said they do not have any more rooms due to the car show. Priceline will refund your money. I called Priceline and told them what I was going through. All rooms in the town of Carlisle were booked. Priceline called the manager and the manager stated they had to change the batteries in the door lock and I can check into the room.
After running around for two hours and calling Priceline, I was able to check into the room. I tried to lock the room door from the inside of the room, the door didn't lock. I had to go back to the manager and tell her the door didn't lock from the inside. The repairman was called again to repair the door latch. I rate this Super 8 the worst location in the USA. I give this Super 8 location the highest rating of 1/4 star.

This is the worst motel I’ve been in. The front desk was very unfriendly. The room was not properly stocked with towels. The shower broke and it took two hours to fix. They wouldn’t change rooms. The room smelled like dead dogs. Everybody here at this motel was very inconsiderate. It is located at 76th Road, Youngstown, Ohio (by the truck-stop). As a truck driver that stays at Super 8 Motels a lot, I wouldn’t recommend this one to anyone.

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. The rooms were old, small and filthy!

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. So enjoy the $315.00; it will be the last you get from my company and anyone else I can tell!

We had reservations for May 25 at the Super 8 in Longmont, Colorado made through HotelsOne.com. When we finally got there, they gave us rooms 127 and 125. Of course, our room was 125. We went in the room and the first thing I noticed was a bottle of pop almost all drank on top of the TV. I thought that was really gross, but my husband said maybe the maid forgot it. Next, I look under the benches there and there were two suitcase there. Then I looked in the far corner and someone's dirty clothes were there. Needless to say, this already was someone else's room. They moved us to room 107 and there, the bathroom door was off its hinged. My husband tried to fix it. They didn't have any wooden toothpicks so we had to use plastic straws to help hold the screws in the door.
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. My son who stayed in 127 didn't get any sleep as there was a real loud party going on next to them that no one would do anything about. This was not a good experience at all. Just glad to be back home.

I made a reservation for June (two days for three rooms). I was given a confirmation number. Before I could ask for them to email me my confirmation number, she placed me to someone who tried to sell me a great deal for their hotel. I kept telling them no. The next day, no email confirmation was sent to me. Again, I called them and was told by the male on the other end that he was sorry and that he had given them by email. Once again, no email was sent. Again, I called and was told the same story - that my name wasn't spelled right on the email. I told the person that was the 3rd time I had heard that excuse. I was told he would email me the confirmation number. Now, two weeks later, there’s still no confirmation number that was sent. After reading all the complaints, maybe I should now worry. I never have had this probably with any other hotel. Within 12 hours, I have always had an email confirming my number. I would not stay there if I had a choice going to Kansas for a wedding.

Well, I was a housekeeper for this motel and let me tell you the whole staff has no moral values and they're wrong for what they have done to me. I was accused of taking out of a room that for one wasn't even a room I had cleaned. Then I was told I was on camera doing this theft which was also incorrect. So in the state of Utah, I was to receive check within 24 hours now.
A week and a half later and a payday later, no check. So now, I have checks bouncing. I needed my check for travel due to a death in family and the response of the wonderful staff is, "Sorry. You don't get a check. We took it for the cost of missing item," that I didn't even take. So I'm writing this because if anything comes out of this, at least I'm telling people what a bad company they are to work for and stay at. Think about it, it's not a place where I would tell my friends about. Also, there is no way at all to speak with a higher person in management. What a joke.

After 4 times of having my privacy violated, I sat down to call the office, but the phone rang. The manager was on the line yelling at me repeatedly about checking out at 11am. It was about 10:30 at this point. I told about the maid. His words to me were: "That's impossible! That didn't happen." Then he said, if we decided to stay another night, we would not get the same price, but would have to pay the full price. This entire staff was rude, disrespectful, and very unprofessional, and their actions toward me were inexcusable! I will not stay at another Super 8 anywhere because I was treated so awful!

We checked into Super 8 in Shelton, WA on May 19, 2012. We got into the room and found it to be a smoker's room. We went down and asked to be moved to another room, but they were booked up. The girl called the owner, who then asked to speak to me and started yelling at me that she had asked me if it was okay that it was a smoking room when I had paid for the room, but had not checked the room because I had a memorial service to go to. The desk clerk did try to move us and there are no other hotels in the area. So I asked that the bedding be changed out and she did and gave us air freshener. It helped a little with the window open. I then pointed out the ashes on the floor that had not gotten cleaned up from the guest before us.
The next morning, I started to notice more things like how dirty the room was. At this point, I noticed a needle hanging in the curtain. I took a tissue and took it to the office. There's another girl there and she asked what room I was in and I told her. She then goes, "Oh yeah, I got notes from the last girl on duty." I said I had a list of complaints about the room. She looked at me and said, "Honey, what do you want? It's a smoker's room." Not because you are a smoker, you don't deserve a clean room. At this point, I told her I was going to file a complaint and all she said was "oh well". A disrespect to a paying customer. I will never stay in that hotel again and I will let everyone I know not to either.

I started working at Super 8 Motel and I just worked there for 12 days and I started 04/12/2012. I was off for three days because I had muscle spasm and gave them a doctor statement two times and between those two times I had been calling them every day to see, "Do I have to come in?" and every time I call, they say, "No, you do not have to come in." So today, 5/20/2012, I called in. Then the girl at the front desk told me that the supervisor told her that we do not have to call in anymore and then I asked her, "Well, how would I know if I have to work?" And she said, "Girl, I really do not know; I am just doing my job." So I said, "Okay," but I have been told by the supervisor out of her own mouth that is what she does when she does not want anyone to work there.
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 think that is very wrong for a supervisor to do to a worker that wants to work and for her to have personal reasons or some kind of agenda against a worker, then having workers get tired of calling in until they just quit. That is what she does.

Okay, that's it. I have given Super 8 three chances. I checked in last Thursday for a 4-night stay. I was in the room for 5 minutes when I heard banging on the door. I opened it and was accosted by a man who wanted to know if I had another person in the room with me. "No, I did not," I told him. He left. I got locked out on Saturday night and when I inquired, I was asked if I have 2 dogs in the room and was advised that I was supposed to be there only for 3 nights. I said, "No, I did not have 2 dogs and I checked in for 4 nights."
The man then gave me a key. When I got in my room, I found that my suitcase had been gone through and was closed up. Are you kidding me? The last time I reserved a room, I was told when I got there that they were sorry but they overbooked. So, no more Super 8 from now on. They are horrible, dirty, overpriced for nothing. Stick with Comfort Inn. I wish they weren't sold out. My mistake! Book earlier!

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.

We were unable to sleep and finally had to leave the hotel around 3am. The night desk person was very rude and tried to be threatening about giving me my paperwork.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have pictures of all of this and a video I am more than willing to share with you! I am so angry about this. If nothing is done or someone does not contact me, I will seek legal action! This could result in electric shock of death to many people! I also have witnesses. I feel I should be reimbursed my 3-night stay! Total was $260.70 cash and I have all receipts.

We arrived in Lexington, Virginia and entered the Super 8 Motel at 1139 N Lee Highway. The manager is **. No one was at the desk. After a few minutes, a lady came downstairs. She was not friendly. We asked for a non-smoking room. The halls reeked of smoke and the room was filthy! I actually choked walking down the hall for ice. When we checked out, the food area was so dirty that we decided not to eat there. There were no other guests in there either! I am fully disappointed and will not stay at a Super 8 again unless there can be something done to change my mind. Thank you for your time.

Last evening, March 19, 2012, we stayed at the Super 8 in Marshall, MO. We left at 8:00 am. About 9:00 am, we received a call telling us linen from our room was missing. We assured them we had not taken any linen from them and there must be a mistake. Because they "couldn't" account for the missing linen, they conveniently added $20.00 to our bill. I guess that's one way to make money. $20.00 doesn't "make or break" most people, but it's the principle behind this unfortunate event that troubles me. It makes me wonder how many people they have done this to. I thought I would warn the next person.

We recently stayed in the Super 8 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. To be honest, I have absolutely no problem with people living in hotels. Each person is there for their own reasons. But I can tell you right now, I 100% do not feel comfortable walking outside in the evening to smoke a cigarette and come face to face with multiple drug dealers. I also do not like walking out in the morning to leave for the day and get slapped in the face by the smell of pot! Hallways were filthy and room service never once came to our end of the hall. As for other minor things, I went to take a shower in the morning and turned on the fan. Well just as I am getting in the shower, something hit me in the head. As I looked down, there was a cigarette in the shower and no, it wasn't mine. I respect the rules. If there is no smoking, I will take it somewhere else. I am very very displeased. I will not spend any more of my hard-earned money there ever again. I would much rather pay more money for a place I feel comfortable and I know I won't walk in on something and get myself hurt.

My husband and I were on our way to Florida. We stopped in Brunswick, GA at a Super 8 motel. When we pulled into the parking lot, it smelled like sewage outside. We received a room and when we walked in, the bottom of the dresser was broken off, the floor had not been vacuumed in a while, the sink in the bathroom had some type of human waste in it, the toilet tank had a large chip out of the back of it and the toilet would not stop running. We pulled the bedspread down and there was a burn hole and a large stain. The sheets appeared not to have been changed. I wanted to leave but my husband was too tired to go somewhere else. I felt sick and couldn't sleep it was so disgusting. If the health department had seen that room, it surely would have been taken out of service. We complained in the morning and were told to report it to corporate headquarters. He said it is hard to find good help and there was nothing he could do. He didn't even offer to give us our money back. Very, very bad experience.

We checked in 3/2 at the Super 8, Boonville, Missouri, we paid $100.54 cash. Within half an hour of our visit, the desk clerk knocked on the door, complaining we were being too loud. We told her it was a bunch of people, running up and down the hall. She then rudely questioned our friends who came to pick us up for dinner, if they were spending the night, we said no. As we were leaving the property, she started screaming, ranting and raving to our friend because apparently, she had an issue with his brother. Less than a mile down the road, we were being pulled over by the local police and were told to come to the police station because she filed assault charges against our friend.
My boyfriend and I had nothing to do with what was going on between the desk clerk's personal issues with our friend, yet we were told we were being charged with a trespass warning. I had to have a police escort to have our belongings returned to us, was told we are never to set foot on the property ever again and was denied a refund to our room.
We have contacted corporate, we were given a reference number and a resolve date, but nowhere in the conversation, was I apologized for being treated in such a horrible manner, he also stated that there was no guarantee to our money being returned. I hope the matter is resolved quickly and think that this woman should be fired from the company. She seems to be incompetent in how to handle a situation in a fair manner. We had nothing to do with the personal issue she had with our friend, it had nothing to do with our stay at the hotel. He was rudely assaulted by this front desk clerk and only responded to her as a reaction of her behavior.

I was staying at the Super 8 on Sugar Creek Rd., just off I-85 in Charlotte, NC. I was about to retire in room 138 and was in the bathroom when I was covered in drainage water which appeared to be coming from the 2nd floor room above my room. I contacted the front desk who sent maintenance who verified that water was draining from the 2nd floor above.
After I looked closer, I could see that this was not the first time that water had drained from the ceiling. There were obvious water marks from the area around the ceiling fan and above the shower with signs of mildew and mold that someone attempted to cover with spray paint. My main concern besides being angry and dissatisfied is what may have been in the contaminated water discharge I was bathed in? I would think drainage pipes would house all sorts of germs, viruses, and disease; and for this reason, I am filing this complaint for the record.

Me and my family had to go down to Florida to see a family member who is not doing too good. We stayed at the Super 8 in Boynton Beach, Florida. It was the worst hotel ever. We booked it online for 3 days. We ended up getting down to Florida 1 day early. It didn't look bad at all.. at first. I went to the front desk and asked the guy if we would be able to stay the extra night. We were so tired. We just drove form upstate New York, with 2 kids; one is 7 years old and the other just under 2. We just really wanted to go to sleep. He said not a problem.
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 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.

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!).

I started working at Super 8 Hotel Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta on November 18th/2011. At the Interview, I was told I would be working two weekends on, one weekend off with one day off during the week for personal business. On my second day of working there, I overheard the lead woman of housekeeping (my boss) wagering actual money with other employees at the front desk on how long I would last; stating that I was complaining and couldn't do my Job. On the third day there, I was still getting the hang of things but found it hard to complete my work with lead of housekeeping in my rooms over my shoulder every five minutes. I would make a bed, to have her unmake it; just to make it again the exact way I had completed it before.
A few days later, an incident arose where the lead of housekeeping threatened to get me fired for leaving dirty linens in the hamper of the cart, where as a day later the other cleaning staff told me to leave them because that is what they all did. When stating I had been threatened to be fired for it, the girls laughed and said they've never once been told otherwise. As I was cleaning a room one day, lead of housekeeping angrily called me in to the hallway to ask me about my name being on a sign out sheet when my room wasn't completed. When stating I didn't sign my name on said sheet, she challenged my words inquiring I was lying to her and if my name was there then I had to sign it. When a co-worker approached the cart and said she signed my name out because they were done and I had almost completed the last room on the floor, lead of housekeeping just looked at her and said to not do that and walked away.
A little astonished, I looked at my co-worker just for her to tell me that lead of housekeeping had watched her write my name down on said sheet, waited a few minutes and then became angry with me about it. On another case, I had completed my rooms and lead of housekeeping went to check them. After many days of harassment about my rooms where she would find something wrong in everyone she was finally outnumbered when she couldn't find anything wrong with the rooms on the third floor. She then went on to tell me that she had noticed the chair legs were dusty in a number of rooms and I was to return to each one and wipe down the legs of said chairs. Without complain, I took an extra twenty minutes to backtrack and proceeded to wipe down each leg.
On another case, I was attempting to clean a party room that I had previously walked in to five minutes before and just had the time to clean up bits of trash that were in my way. Lead of housekeeping entered my room and stood there continually telling me that this and that were dirty as though I had already had the chance to clean them. When stating I had just walked in to the room, she stood there and continued to point out things wrong in the room. As I finished with her over my shoulder shouting commands I proceeded to move the chairs to vacuum when she moved them right back into my way.
After 10 minutes of trying to get around her, I finished the room, only to have her tell me I wasn't fast enough on my rooms and I had to pick up my pace. When payday arose, I worked and then waited for my cheque because I had to pay some bills that day and I needed to make it to the bank before it closed. After waiting an extra two hours there for the manager to return, I decided to finally leave without cheque in hand as did the other girls that left two hours previous to that. Returning to the hotel 45 minutes before the bank closed, the manager was finally back. After numerous conversations about the cheque and being told he could have it to me in the next few days, I stated that today was payday and I expect my cheque in my hand.
Returning 20 minutes later, he unhappily passed it to me where I returned to a friend's truck. Opening the cheque I noticed I was missing $80 from it. Returning home to grab my book I had been keeping track of my hours in, I went back to the hotel and demanded he take a look at them. Frustrated, he told me 'He doesn't do this for people and we could handle it tomorrow.' Persisting he handle the matter now, he pulled out two large books with sign in and sign out sheets.
Reviewing my hours and finding where it went wrong he stated they had 'Forgotten to account me for certain days and didn't know I had worked those days.' But as I stared at him and his eyes faltered, I knew he was lying, especially since there was a time sheet in front of me stating I had worked those days and for him to account the other women working those days he would have had to skim across my name lodged in the middle of theirs.
A day later, I looked at the schedule lead of housekeeping had posted and noticed I had been given two days off in a week instead of one, Tuesday and Thursday and that my third weekend on the weekend I was supposed to have off I was booked in and only one girl could have that weekend off, me. Keeping it in mind, I later found out that during that weekend Six Sports teams were coming in to the hotel and it would be a very busy weekend. I understood until I noticed that lead of housekeeping had taken my initial weekend off, booked herself off and purposely did that to my schedule just for own personal gain. Outraged at this, I took that Tuesday off to collect my thoughts and quit the following day, Wednesday.
On numerous accounts, I noted lead of housekeeping standing around drinking coffee and getting paid for it, not on break time and she was very lazy. It was only I who was being harassed and the other girls took account of it as well. I am currently waiting for my final cheque which my missing hours are supposed to be on and it's already been two weeks. The legal termination period for final cheques is 10 days and I stated that when quitting.

After midnight, on the morning of November 13, my emotionally exhausted wife arrived at the Super 8 Hotel in Houston expecting a simple non-smoking room according to reservations I personally made the day before. The airline lost her luggage. Sleep was the only thing on her mind. Unfortunately, the room was a very far cry from what was reserved over the phone. My wife, who is small in stature, was horrified to discover that the room was designed specifically for the physically-challenged. There was absolutely no agreement of that type of room during my phone call with a young lady the day before.
In making this reservation, I was informed that the approximately $44 room I initially called about, was designated a smoking room. But, for an additional $10, there was a non-smoking room available. Since the smoking room was definitely out of the question, I agreed to reserve the non-smoking room and proceeded to give the lady credit card information. It was a simple routine transaction.
If I had been informed at any time during my conversation, that the room I was making arrangements for was a "special needs" room. I can assure you that no reservation at Super 8 would have been made, none. I would have respectfully ended the call and contacted some other hotel in Houston. Because of this oversight, there was no check-in and I cannot overstate how much distress my wife experienced all night long, sitting in the lobby!
To add insult to injury, we discovered that my wife's American Express card was charged a total of $62.12 for a room she never checked in to. Except for a night janitor, the staff was rude and apathetic.

We went to Super 8 at Kutztown, PA. I found dirty & torn sheets, and blood stained pillows. Put up with some mold in bathroom, but I would not sleep in those awful beds. My family and I checked out at 11:00 PM & drove 1.5 hours home instead of staying in the filthy room.
At first, my credit card gave me a credit. Someone (whose name I couldn't read) at the Kutztown, PA Super 8, sent a letter to my cc company that the room was clean. Apparently, they don't mind stained sheets and blood stained pillows! So cc company is now charging me back, with fees and interest. What a bad experience with Super 8 and my cc company.

I called the Walterboro, SC Super 8 Motel on 21 Nov '11 to make a one-day reservation. I found this motel on the internet. The picture of the motel looked pleasant enough and they are pet friendly. The motel receptionist took my personal information along with my credit card number. I assumed that she needed the information to hold the room. I picked this hotel because it was half way from Central Florida and Hampton Roads Virginia, and I was traveling with my 2 dogs.
I arrived at the motel around 3:00 am 22 Nov '11 only to see that the motel wasn't what it looked like on the internet (filthy looking), and the area that it was located in wasn't where I wanted to spent the night. Where do you find people walking the streets at 3:00 am in the morning with no where to go? Anyway, I looked in the office while driving my car in the parking lot (looking for a place to park next to the office) and didn't see anyone in there, so I decided to continue on my way. I checked my credit card statement online on 22 Nov '11 and noticed that I was charged approximately $84.00 for a room that I didn't stay in. When I made this reservation, I wasn't informed that I had to call and cancel it before a certain time or I would get billed for it.
I called the motel right after I checked my credit card bill and was informed by the person who answered the phone (very rude) that I got charged because they were booked. I informed her that I was never informed about my credit card being charged the room amount whether I checked in or not when I made the reservations. She basically insisted that I was lying and said all the folks that work the desk do inform customers that they will be billed for the full amount if they do not cancel before a specific time (12:00 am). That is bogus.
She would not provide me the person's name who was on duty at the time I made my reservations. If the receptionist told me this information, don't you think I would have called and canceled the reservation vice having my credit card charged $84.00 for services not received?

I made a room reservation on phone for smoking room. The customer service told me that they only had one left when got there. They put me in non-smoking room. I walk down and complained but they said there is nothing they could do so I went back to the room and said this to the crew, “I’m here to relax which means I will set in a room and smoke”. When done, I told them that I want my money back and I'm going else where.

On August 21-23, 2011, we were lied to and charged after a staff said we could check-in a day later. We found out a man named Karol Janiga and his family owns this dishonest hotel. We are telling everyone that we know to not support this chain. We had booked online, as we had many times before with other hotels. Although there is a statement on some sites saying "no cancellations", most establishments allow for switching arrival times as long as you call within 24 hours notice or when calling they clearly state it at that time on the phone with the customer agent inquiring. We made the same request at other hotels booked online without incidents. We did this at Greely, and clearly spoke to a woman over the phone who agreed to a later check-in date. The problem was not the clause online, but the phone call conversation from the woman, who after our appropriate inquiry clearly stated we could switch check-in dates. She then lied to that fact upon our arrival. Sadly, it became her word against our own.
Once we arrived at Super 8 around 11 PM, the woman had not only charged us for the night before, but she lied and claimed she had said "no" to us over the phone days before! We certainly would not have showed up if that were true. Her apparent relative, a young woman, was also at the desk, and as they argued in their Russian language, we were ultimately told that they were sorry, but there was nothing that could be done to make the situation right, or accommodate us as valued customers. Essentially, the woman said we were lying and not her relative/mom. We asked for names, and the two women gave us the names of Kelly and Amy **.
After follow up with the corporate office, we later found out that they gave us false names. A bogus letter was sent by the hotel manager, apparently the husband/dad, Karol Janiga stating no employee worked there by the name Kelly **. Ok, so why did the women give us such names? They lied again! The problem was not the clause online, but the phone call conversation from the woman, who after our inquiry clearly stated we could check-in later. She then later lied to that fact, which was followed by more lies! That is the wrong doing here.
This was humiliating and a nightmare, which no family should ever experience on a vacation. After calling corporate office twice to complain, nothing was done. There was no offer for another stay at another hotel or a refund of our hard earned money stolen from us! They got away with dishonesty and theft. No one thinks about recording such phone calls, but I wish we had. So much for a decent price, with a comfortable night’s stay! This should be a crime!

There wasn't another room in the entire town nor was there any rooms in the next 2 towns due to the Sturgis Bike Rally.

First, I want to say that I love Super Eight motels. I stay in them whenever I travel, which I must say is not much. But I had taken my daughter to the Salina Zoo on July 23, 2011 and we stayed in the hotel on I-70. I am a government employee and so I know that we can get a discount. I was not expecting to get a call two weeks later that I was charged wrong.
Okay, the wrong charged amount was $10.00 and you are really going to call me about a mistake that your "new" employee made. According to Brittany, I was charged the wrong rate. Now I know, being a government worker for the Department of Revenue, that there are always exceptions to the rules. I and Brittany had several phone tags to get my correct card information for the $10.00. My only complaint is that this was not my fault that I was charged wrongly. Then to call me up and want me to pay more... WOW! And for $10.00.
I have paid this bill to the motel but I might think twice before staying at a Super Eight again. I do not expect any compensation. I just need you to know that this is not a very good customer service. Brittany was very courteous but if this is your policy, I think you should take another look at that section. I have paid the $10.00 charge and I have considered this incident complete. Thank you for your time.

Knowing that I would not be able to sleep on a bed like that, I pulled back the comforter and sheets to find that the plastic was still on the mattress. I assumed that it was a brand new mattress, and the maid forgot to remove the plastic. My husband and I then removed the plastic; I folded it up, and set it under the desk. Being hot and tired from traveling and working, my husband then plopped down on the bed face first and immediately jumped back off of it. The bed was absolutely soaking wet with urine. The smell was awful, and the experience was horrible.
I washed my hands; went straight to the front desk, to have the lady working come back with me, and see for herself. She immediately put us in another room. My husband could not wait to take a shower, and throw his clothes in the trash. His clothes consisted of a brand new pair of wrangler jeans and a shirt. The lady working at desk that night apologized. She did not offer any sort of compensation or whatsoever.
I spoke with the owner the next morning, and asked him if he was aware of the incident. He said, "Yes, I read the report." Nothing further was said; so, I then told him it was a wretched experience. All he said after that was, "We're going to take care of it." That was our second stay at that motel. The week before, the room we were given could have been a little cleaner, and there were still drinks and food in the refrigerator from the previous guest. I really didn't believe for a minute that our next stay there would be worse, but obviously, it was. I also want to mention that the concrete balcony smelled strongly of urine.

When we (5 couples) arrived on July 8 there was only one room available for our group...even though the other 4 couples had called and confirmed with there own credit cards. It was apparent that the ill trained desk clerk had given us all the same confirmation # and had held only one room. In addition to our group being screwed over we found that the Square Dance Callers also did not have rooms and had to seek another hotel for accommodations. We had booked the Super 8 because it was advertised as the "caller hotel".
My understanding is that the Elk City Square Dance Festival, which is held annually and advertised around the country, was so upset that they will not use this Super 8 in the future. The desk clerk and Dilip Patel were very unsympathetic and attempted to place the blame our us. Some of our acquaintances who also traveled from TX and did stay at S8 were dissatisfied with the accommodations. They felt the accommodations were stripped down and the advertised full breakfast was not offered + the orange juice machine was out of order. We did file complaints with C/S over the phone on July 8 and today received a letter from Ms. Patel with a weak and sorry apology for our inconvenience of their being overbooked blah, blah, blah and the hope that we would "give them another chance" in the future. She has got to be out of her mind. Not only would I not give her hotel another chance I will spread the word to everyone I know.

No one called until I called and was told, 'sorry, can't help you'. We were told that they have been looking for a company to get security. They should have a sign stating that the cameras don't work. Insurance will not cover the cost of the items stolen or the window because it is under our co-pay. We just got screwed by everyone.

My husband and I went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and stayed at Super 8 located at 215 Emert St. behind Long John Silver on the Parkway. We paid $40.95 a night. We stayed for a total of two nights. We paid for the room and went into the room. The walls had marks on them and lots of them too. The towels that were brought to us had stains on a couple of them. The toilet paper holder was missing when we got there, and the AC knob was missing that lets you control the temp of the AC (i.e., hot or cold or right in the middle).
We wanted to go swimming, and we walked down to the pool and went into the water. There was no sign on the gate telling people the pool was closed for inspection. There was not even a lock on the gate to keep people out of the pool area! There were two guys who work for Super 8 who never told us the pool was closed. We were in the pool maybe fifteen (15) minutes before we were told in a nice way to get out. We did not even get a chance to get back in until 5PM the next day.
Also, the beds were terrible to sleep on. The refrigerator made noises all night. I was sweating all night and got no sleep at all! Then the breakfast that Super 8 had was donuts, and my husband had one that he had to throw in the garbage, because the donut was hard and cold. We had to go get breakfast somewhere else that was not in our budget.
We wanted to leave Super 8 motel and go elsewhere with better beds and a better breakfast for less money. We were told we would not get a refund if we left. We will never go back to Super 8 again on Emert St. We will go to another motel entirely. The manager, Lucy, was real rude when we tried to tell her our situation. Most motels would bend over backwards to make the customer happy and want to come back again. But this Super 8 motel is different, because they could care less if you are happy or not! And the maid could not talk to us, because she only knows Spanish.
The entire stay was terrible. We stayed on May 24-26. Two nights only and they were very long nights! We were the only people in the entire motel most of the time. We called the 1800 number, and they said they would give the information to high management to call us, but I have not heard anything back. We are low-income people, and we could have chosen another hotel for a lot cheaper, because there were plenty of hotels out there for cheaper with a better breakfast and with good reviews too.
We chose Super 8, because we believed that this was a good motel until we stayed there and felt like these people did not want us there. We are requesting a refund, and we felt like we had to stay there, because they were not going to do anything about giving us a refund if we left early. It is not our fault if the motel was a mess and the pool was shut down for 3/4 of our stay. The staff did nothing to clean this motel up, and it had water damage to the building. Thank you.

The maintenance guy went to sleep, I was told at 1pm on May 21, 2011 and then they said they we’re going to come second! At 3pm, no show then they said they had a can to give me. I went down there and they were going to give me a can to bomb them, with this we would have to leave our room for 4 hours. They need to send maintenance to do this and not make us do it.

We were moving from Mississippi to Illinois. We were very tired and stopped in at Super 8 and stayed the night. We were having a few problems with our truck. When we left, we locked the room and checked out. About an hour later, I remembered that I had left my iPad in the room. We called the Motel and the manager said he would go look. We told him exactly where we left it. He came back and told us that he did not see it. I told him that we had locked the door and no one except the cleaning people or him could have been in the room. But he kept saying that he did not see it and did not say that he would ask the cleaning people or anything.
I think this is very dishonest and does not speak very well of this motel. I am very angry and would not recommend this motel to anyone. This iPad was a birthday gift and cost over $500.00.

When I asked if they had a room, she said, “Yes, $142.99 with tax.” I told her that I was a Wyndham Rewards member and also had AAA or AARP and asked if they offered any discounts for those organizations. She said very rudely, "No, we don't." She wouldn't even take my Wyndham Rewards number for future rewards. I started to say something and she said, "If you don't want the room, don't stay. We'll fill up in a little while with Halliburton guys and they'll pay whatever we want." I could not believe how rude she was; how they ripped me off on price and how negligent the room was. It was barely clean and the bathroom was pretty questionable. The toilet seat didn't even have any of the covering on it. It had all corroded off. If there had not been a storm bearing down on us and we had business to conduct at the Air Force Base early in the morning, we would have moved on. I understand that ND is busy with an oilfield boom but that absolutely is no excuse for any hotel, motel or their staff to treat customers with such rude behavior. Will think twice before I stay in any Super 8 Motel again!

My husband (active duty; Navy) and I stayed at the local Super 8 Motel on Shore Drive in Norfolk, VA on Friday, Feb 25, 2011. The hotel and accommodations were not good, as we'd expected from a motel. The bathroom was dirty, the bed squeaked, and the "continental breakfast" had only milk, OJ, cereal, and coffee. The breakfast room also smelled of dirty/muggy towels. While poor accommodations is a rather trivial matter, this complaint is about a metal bar sticking out of the bed on which I stepped and drew blood.
I hit my foot while getting off the bed on the morning of Saturday, Feb 26. The bed was a full size, with the mattress raised off the ground. After my morning wash-up and TV-watching, I got off the bed to start packing. As I put my foot down, I experienced a piercing jolt of pain. I thought that I'd stepped on a needle or nail. Upon looking down, my heel started bleeding. That's when I noticed a rusting metal bar sticking out from under the mattress. It was horizontal and lay parallel between the mattress and the supporting stand. Afterward, my husband went to ask for a bandage and for a resolution to the situation. The front desk clerk said that our room would be "comped." After cleaning up my blood and wound, we left the motel.
However, since then, our credit card was billed for the full charge of the room. We tried calling the motel and their corporate reps. No one would admit to the problem and no one will refund our one-night stay, as they'd promised. This is an example of bad service, zero integrity, bad employee morale, and bad facilities maintenance. I will continue to follow up, but such an establishment should not be doing business in the United States of America.

Well, I had a very sad experience there because of a fire that was at my home. I paid to stay there for multiple nights. I have been here since Dec. 2010, two days for Christmas. I am staying there currently as we speak. I had to clean my own room. I asked for some clean towel. But on top of that, I am complaining on housekeeping. One of the woman who works for them as a housekeeper is an African-American female by the name of Melinda. She has been working there since I got here, trying to mix business with pleasure. I had to sit back and see what was going on, observe a little thing. She is always by my room when I know she was assigned at a different floor. But she followed me and my husband around the hotel. I cannot leave the room. I would come back to find the clean up cart by my room door like she is cleaning up, making sure I am not in the room, so she can knock on my room door like I need housekeeping. There is a don't disturb sign on the door. And my husband is in the room. We both feel uncomfortable to be a target of a staff member.
I reported it to the front desk and supervisor. But there was nothing that could be done. I will never come back. She followed us to the lobby area, in the breakfast room, by my room etc. It was very creepy to experience that she would come up the way where there is no camera, so she wouldn't be seen. It's like she waits until I leave and approach my husband with sexual advance. I was around the corner listening to her. I told the front desk that she didn't have anything to do beside checking out people, husband, spouse, and boyfriend.
She works for the room, so I don't know how long this has been going on. Some men may like that and don’t report it. But I felt very uncomfortable in a hotel where I have paid about $1000 to stay there. And this is the treatment that they are giving with a worker that doesn't do housekeeping here. They are mixing business with pleasure. And my children had to witness it. They come to me and keep asking about this letter. I have teenagers and they were uncomfortable too. Concerning my situation, this added to a more stressful stay from Dec. 2010 to Feb. 2011. A long stay has to feel uncomfortable.
I asked for corporate number but no one would give it. So, I am writing it from the Super 8 computer. Can somebody please let Super 8's business partners know they would be losing a lot of customers with this type of behavioral activity going on? Maybe this is not the first, but this is the first time I am reporting it. I spent too much money to be treated like that. I just didn’t have nowhere else to go and this was close to children's school. Someone needs to get a hold of the owner and let him know how his business is being run. To me, my stay was like staying on a Las Vegas ** stripe. They were looking for clients and I will not tell any of my friends, family, or anybody with a spouse or relationship to go there. If you want to mix business with pleasure, that means if you stay at the hotel, the housekeeping will clean not only your room but your spouse. That's something I didn’t like, neither did my husband and children.

I had called earlier and they had gave me one price for the room, but when I got there they said it was $69.00 that's with tax, and that was supposed to have been with a company discount. So I came back down to get my boarding pass printed out. As I was waiting, this white lady came in and asked how much was the room. Lucinda told her but I guesses she didn't want to pay that price, so Lucinda asked her how much did she want to spend. The white lady told her about $50.00, so Lucinda said okay that she would take that amount from her.
So when I heard that I asked her why she charged me so much and didn't charge the white lady that much. She said we could make deals if she wanted to. So then the manager came up, he never said his name and started saying what they can and can't do and if I don't like it, I can get my money back and I said okay. He said he charged it back to the card so I ended up at the Best Rest Inn. He said if I wasn't gone in 10 minutes he was going to take my money and I could call corporate office and they weren't going to believe me. As a black lady, I felt as if I was treated very wrong and racially discriminated against, me and my boyfriend as if we were **.

Travelocity made a mistake on my travel reservation bookings, reserving a room for me on the same night in Greensboro, NC and Darien, GA. I should have caught the mistake, but didn't. When I arrived at the Super 8 in Darien, I was told that I should have been there the previous night. I asked if they had sold out their rooms the previous night. No, there were many unused rooms. When I asked if they would honor my reservation, they refused saying it was Travelocity's mistake. Let Travelocity pay. I said Travelocity did pay for my unused room. Most other chains would have understood the problem and given me a room. The manager refused and went across the street, therefore paying double for one night's lodging.

I checked into Super 8 Motel on 12/9/10 to an end room on the bottom floor so I could take my small dogs out whenever needed. First thing was a horrible whiff of cigarette smoke from the adjoining room which was a "non-smoking" room as well as mine. I called the front desk and reported this. "Did I want to move my room?", they asked. No, I did not because I was dead tired and wanted to rest. I'm a 72-year old senior citizen. It seemed not to matter but they called the next door resident and told him not to smoke and called me back. They should have kicked him out but didn't. Every time someone entered the hotel by the side door, my dog barked and so it went all night long.
I called them to refund my money but he said, "why, we've never had a complaint before". Bald face liar I called him. My registration says there will be a fee for smoking in a non-smoking room. Well this guy left at about 4:30AM and smoked again before he left. I told them again to refund my money and of course, they didn't so I want to know where to go to the top echelon so I can report this. This room was $67.72 and wasn't worth $6.72 because I didn't sleep all night. This stinking little town only had one or two motels and this seemed like the best choice. Quartzsite, AZ so please don't stay there. It's smells and isn't clean.

We went to complain and the manager (Mike) did not care or show much concern. It was late so we decided to try and make the best of it and went back to the room.
When we switched on the light, a big bug came out from under the bed. We again went to the front desk to complain and the desk clerk behaved like this was normal. We decided to find other accommodations so I decided to ask for a refund since our banking account had been credited upon making the reservation. They refused to give us a refund, said we had to go through Orbitz and blamed it on Orbitz. I called Orbitz and they blamed the hotel. It was late so we found another hotel. I went back the next day to ask the manager for a refund and was denied. I contacted Orbitz and they also contacted the hotel, but met with the same results.
The manager, Mike, was extremely rude with us and also with the Orbitz representative. He acted very unprofessional and didn't represent Super 8 hotels very well. He was definitely not customer friendly and was in no way trying to please the customer nor put the customer first. He was more concerned about making a dollar than trying to satisfy the customer.
We were charged $111.66 for a room we did not use, plus the charge of the room we did use from another hotel. The inconvenience and frustration could have been avoided if Mike had been willing to put the customer first.

I (Marshalls) received my Visa bill and learned of the double billing and contacted General Manager, Carl Barry on October 1. He said he would check it out after receiving a copy of my Visa bill, and a copy of our receipt from the motel. Documents and accompanying letter were sent on October 1. Four or five subsequent calls to employees who did not have the authority to issue a credit, were in vain. I don't know where else to turn to get help in receiving my credit. This is nothing more than robbery in my opinion.

The original reservation was for 3/5 thru 3/6, itinerary 79905776. I called hotels.com to see if this could be changed as work circumstances changed and we would be unable to attend at that time. Hotels.com told me that they were unable to change the reservation, but I could call the hotel directly and ask. I called the Fairgrounds Super 8 and they were able to change the reservation to 11/5 thru 11/6.
Note that at this time neither hotels.com or Super 8 informed me that I should call Hotels.com to have them change anything on that end. Nor, did I understand at that time how billing works between the two entities.
On 10/18 at 4:06pm, I called the Super 8 to confirm reservations as well as confirm that we were bringing our small dog. The clerk said that she had the reservations and there would be an additional $10/night pet charge. I also asked about a late check out. She said that would also be available for an additional $15 charge.
We arrived at the hotel on 11/5. Check in took a very long time. There were two clerks and clearly one was very new. She went over the extra charges. She also seemed to be doing a great deal of complaining about the system she was using. At that time, she said there was an issue with a virtual card that is used when the reservation involved hotels.com. I tried to suggest that part of the problem could be the change of reservation. I was dismissed. She said that she could resolve that later and we proceeded to our room.
We noted at this time that the hotel had changed since our last stay. It was very run down and in need of repairs. We dropped the dog and the luggage and proceeded to our workshop. We returned that night at about 9:30 and began to settle for the night.
The desk clerk called at about 10pm and was very agitated. She was speaking so quickly that I could not always understand her meaning. She would not let me respond before she was on to the next thing, talking over me for the most of the conversation. What I did get was that she was unable to work out the billing and she implied that we didn't have a reservation with hotels.com as they could not find it. She wanted me to resolve this asap or she threatened to charge my Visa. While trying to speak with her, she ended the conversation by telling me that I was being ugly about the situation and hung up on me,
Even though it was quite late, I called hotels.com and found that I had to ask for a supervisor. The current system information did not extend back to the original check in date. The supervisor accessed the previous system and found the date easily. I explained the problem; he sent my call to another person that handles the virtual card processing.
Explaining the problem again, this new person told me that he was not supposed to deal directly with a guest, but the hotel should call him. I got the itinerary number and his number. I did ask at this time if he would call the hotel to work out the billing. He said he would. I gave him the phone number to the hotel and the address. At this time I assumed that the issue was resolved and went on to bed.
On Saturday morning, we got ready and left for the workshop. At noon break, I called the hotel to check on the resolution of the billing issue. The clerk on duty did not know how to check to see if the room had been paid and did not know of the issue.
Upon our arrival back to the room that evening at about 5:30 pm the phone rang as we entered the room. This time it was the male clerk that had been present during the check in. He was talking very rapidly in a raised voice and telling me that we had not paid for our rooms. The implication was that we were trying to stiff the hotel for the bill. He was raising his voice and talking over me each time I tried to ask a question or make a comment or ask a question. At this time he stated they are all liars at hotels.com and you have to yell and scream at them to get them to do anything.
I found this to be very unprofessional to say the least. I tried to give him the phone number and itinerary number that I had been given the night before. I could not get an answer from him to confirm that he would call and try to resolve this, so I had no confidence that he would do so.
I called the number that I gave him and again explained the problem. The lady tried to be very helpful. I had to hold on the line for an extended period of time while she contacted other folks. During this time, we had to call our friends to cancel dinner and we missed the evening session at the workshop. The only solution that was offered was for hotels.com to refund my money and for us to pay the hotel directly. As this time it was late in the evening, I had not yet had dinner and wanted to end the harassment by the hotel staff, I agreed.
I immediately went down to the desk to pay the charges. The two clerks that were present at check in were again on duty. When I explained to the senior clerk what I was there for, she informed me that she had already charged my card. At that time, I didn't even know what the amount of the room charges were. I asked her the amount of the unauthorized charge.
While she was adding up the charges, the man again was raising his voice and telling me that everyone at hotels.com is a liar and you have to yell and scream to get them to do anything. At that point, I had had enough. I told him to shut up and let me speak. The clerk then told me the charges and ordered me to leave the lobby. I found at this time that the rates had increased from the amount of my booking to $65/night. I would not have paid this amount for a hotel/room in this condition.
On Sunday morning as we were leaving for the workshop, we asked a housekeeper where the ice machine was. She indicated that it is in the laundry room, but we would probably have to stop by the front desk to ask them to unlock it. Shouldn't access to the ice machine be available without going to the front desk?
We have stayed at that same hotel, using reservations thru hotels.com for more than three years. Previous to this, our experience was that the rooms while old were functional and clean, the staff was courteous. We will never stay at this hotel again. The commode ran all the time, the tub did not drain, the blanket on the bed was well suited for a dog's bed and the towels could be used as 60 grit sand paper. I have always given this hotel an honest good for the price review, previous to this stay.
Additionally, early Sunday morning at 3:45 am, we were awakened by someone beating with both hands on a door about 3 rooms down from our own. When I opened our door to see what the issue was, I saw a disheveled lady beating with both hands screaming at the top of her lungs. She said that the hotel would not let her in this room and that her baby was in there. I'm sure the woman was drunk or on drugs. I called the front desk and reported this. The clerk's response was, I told her to quit. I told him that either he would resolve this or I would call 911. A few minutes later the noise stopped.
To sum up our stay, horrible would not begin to describe it. We were charged what I consider an excessive amount considering the condition of the hotel. We felt abused by harassing phone calls from the staff, in addition to missing two sessions of the workshop while trying to resolve the situation in which a guest should not be involved.
I spent in excess of 2.5 hours on the phone trying to resolve the billing issue. I paid for the reservation at the time it was booked at Hotels.com. Super 8 and Hotels.com should have been able to work that out at the time of check in. Had I known how guests are treated at this Super 8 I would have left and taken my business elsewhere. This part of Oklahoma City has a great many hotels. It also seems that in the current economy, customer service is paramount. There were many opportunities missed to make this stay what it should have been by both Hotels.com and Super 8. Had the clerk at the time that I went to the front desk recognized our frustration and offered to the extra pet charge and late check out, that would have been very helpful. It would have also reduced the charge for the stay to be closer to the rate that I had agreed to.

I am an employee at the Super 8 Hotel on Rainbow Blvd. in Niagara Falls, New York. I've only been working there a little over 1 month and I honestly cannot stand my job. I have to force myself to get up and go to work. I was promised 40 hours a week and I get maybe half of that. I have bills to pay and I'm not even treated fairly among other employees. My manager, is the only one who treats me fairly well. The owner always has something rude to say about my performance or about my attire.
The 1st 2 weeks of working there, I was getting complaints from the owner stating that I was messing this or that up. He refused to say anything directly to me, always going through another employee. Problem is, I was training! Everyone must learn how to do things, and the owner should have been helping me to learn those things, instead of treating me the way he did (and still does). I come to work on time, despite hating this job, I stay late (with no overtime), I do my job correctly, and the customers adore me.
I'm tired of being treated unfairly by this company. I recently dyed my hair, it was supposed to come out a dark, but shiny red, but it came out pink! I don't have the extra money to fix it, seeing as I have fines to pay off in Missouri and Texas, I have 2 months of rent backed up (because they are not giving me the hours I was promised), and I have other things to pay for on my own.
I have to deal with rude customers daily. I may be a front desk clerk, but I'm usually on my feet at all hours of the day. I clean windows in the lobby, clean doors, sweep the floor and stairs, check rude customers in who complain about the price being more because they went through a travel agency, etc. Then on top of that, the owner is always (excuse my language) up my ass about my hair, my attire, the way I do things, etc. I know my rights and honestly, I think this hotel needs to be shut down and the owner should not be allowed to run another hotel. It's not just me, he treats his employees like garbage! Customers never complain about what I'm wearing, or about my hair, or nose ring. They always complain about the cleanliness of the hotel, the smell, the bugs, or the fact that there is only 1 handicap acc. room.
Another thing, I'm always told to take out my nose ring, or wear the (itchy and oversized) uniform shirt, yet every single other employee doesn't have to. One girl, whose shift I take over a lot, has a nose ring, and wears whatever she wants, is never told anything! On top of that, the drawer always comes up short after her shift! I'm not going to continue to be treated like this! I'm a born American, he's what...Italian? I know my rights, I grew up up in this country and I refuse to let someone walk over me just because I'm a little different than others! I was hired to do a job and I do that job well! I've yet to have one complaint from a customer, so why should I be forced to change myself, when the guests love the way they're being treated when I'm on shift? Land of the free My **!

I reserved two similar rooms at this hotel through Priceline. I spent a lot of time checking on hotels, prices, and reviews, until I felt comfortable with this hotel. The reviews I read on Priceline.com were pretty good and the price was in my travel budget, plus the amenities seemed to be what my family was looking for. We had to travel over 6 hours of driving, and arrived just before 11 pm.
When we arrived, the lobby was locked up and the two staff members in the front area were ignoring me for several minutes while I waited at the window. When they did come, I had to speak through plexiglass to identify myself and ask for my reserved rooms. Then they told me that, because I had checked in late, they gave my rooms to someone else.
My response was what does it matter when I check in, I reserved the rooms! Those rooms were paid for with my credit card, they shouldn't have been given to anyone else no matter what time I checked in. Also, Priceline.com asked for my contact number so that I could be called en route if there was a problem. I never received a call from the hotel while on the road. But they went ahead and gave my rooms away. Then they tried to get me two other rooms (I was traveling with my two teenage children) and the two rooms were separate and across the complex from each other. I was furious! I asked them how can they expect me to settle for rooms on opposite ends of the hotel from each other. Did they seriously expect me to leave one of my kids on their own in a hotel room far from me overnight?
The staff copped an attitude, said it wasn't their fault, started blaming the folks on shift before them. I didn't care and wasn't interested. I was tired and just wanted to get the keys to our rooms so me and my family could rest. To make things even more interesting, other parents/customers showed up and got in line, with complaints about bad smells, roaches, etc. The longer it took to deal with my situation, the angrier the staff got and the more sympathy I got from the other parents. Eventually the staff (Alex, that's the staff member who handled most of my problem) decided to get me another room, a suite, where I could have both my kids with me since they could not get me two rooms together. Then they told me that Priceline would not allow the refund for the canceled second room, and I would have to call them myself and explain the situation. Fine, I said, and got my key to my suite.
When we got to the suite, it smelled horrible, there was a spider living in the sink, the bedding was stained, picture over my bed was broken, the rooms were hot and musty, with two air conditioners in the suite turned on (we turned them on, the staff had left them off), still it did not cool the rooms down and we all slept on top of the bedding while we sweated...this was the suite? Are you kidding me? It had a sofa-bed, so I called down to the office for sheets, pillow, and blanket. "Alex" said he'd bring them. The blanket had burn holes in it! My daughter took pictures of the damage and I intend to send them along with my other complaints to Priceline.com.Back to that. When I called Priceline on my cell, I was kept waiting and transferred to a service agent who was supposed to help me, then put on hold again. I was on a tracphone, and my minutes were just wasting away while I was kept on hold. When I did get to talk to someone it was to a foreign representative (why was this ever a good idea? Put someone on the phone to handle American business problems,and they can't handle English well?). I had to re-explain the problem and she said she wanted to confirm it, would I mind holding?
I almost lost my mind! I told her I was running out of minutes and I had already been put on hold over and over again. She said she'd call me back after she confirmed the room problem with the hotel staff. When she did call back, she apologized for the inconvenience and said they would try to refund the money for the canceled second room, but warned me that it may take up to 10 days and then I still may not get reimbursed. If that happens, I am supposed to contact Priceline again and find out what needs to be done after confirming with my credit card company.
Was all this worth the $68? I really don't think so. Thanks to Priceline and Super 8, my kids and I wasted over an hour that night before we could get settled. We didn't get a chance to pick up something to eat before the restaurants closed, and we had to clean up the mess in the bathroom so we could take our showers. I'm done with Priceline, and next time I'll just stay in the Comfort Inn.

For starters, when we checked in, the manager was raking of alcohol! We stayed on the bottom floor and our room was not clean at all. We complained about the room to Denise, she was assistant manager. She got snotty and rude with us and told us there were not any other rooms available so if we were staying another night they would work on the room the fallowing day. Not happy! We had hair in our bed and the toilet was dirty, had a ring around the bowl and pee on the under part of lid. There was a black ring in the tub never been cleaned and shower curtain was moldy.
This is the worst ran motel we have ever stayed in. We will never stay here again and will not recommend a super 8 motel to anyone. We did not feel safe. If we would have had an emergency, there is no way the drunk manager would have been able to help us or any other customer for that matter. We were there for 3 days because there was no where else to stay. Every late morning to afternoon, the manager Hollie was drunk, she raked of alcohol everyday we were there! Never again!

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights (8/6 thru 8/9) with my wife and two children and was very disappointed in the overall experience. The hotel lobby was downright filthy, the lobby floor looked like it hadn't been scrubbed in weeks and the tables provided for eating breakfast at were never wiped. I noticed a stain on the one table the first morning that remained there for the next two mornings as well. The rooms were no better with absolutely filthy carpet. At one point, I dropped some water on the floor and used a white bath towel to dry it up and the towel turned almost completely black after only 2 swipes across the carpet.
My wife also noticed the dirty condition of the carpet after taking a shower and walking across the floor barefoot only to find the bottom of her feet to be visibly black from the carpet. The bathroom was not in any better condition, the wallpaper was peeling from the walls and the tub and shower curtain did not appear very clean at all.
The service was not satisfactory either. On Saturday, our room was cleaned while we were out and fresh towels and washcloths were left, but they did not take the dirty washcloths that were left in a pile in the tub. I left them along with Saturday's pile right in the middle of the bathroom floor Sunday morning when we left and they were finally taken. The sheets were changed on both beds, but one of the two beds was not made for some reason either day.
When we went to breakfast on Saturday morning my children wanted orange juice, but the machine was out. We asked the desk clerk if he could refill it but were told that he was out and that the shipment hadn't arrived Friday but he was hoping to have it that day. The same thing applied for the next two days (Sunday and Monday), the orange juice never arrived. I find it hard to believe no orange juice could be found for 4 straight days.
I was expecting a decent stay based on the AAA recommendation, but overall I was very dissatisfied with the stay at this hotel. The cleanliness and poor service made it a very unpleasant experience leaving me with a very poor image of Super8 and making it very unlikely that I will stay at one in the future.

We checked into the hotel at 11:30pm after driving 4 hours to get there. The rooms were filthy, stunk, and had cob webs and mold in them. My parents traveled with us so they checked out and went to the holiday inn right behind the super 8, and took my son to stay with them. He has allergies and could not sleep in a moldy smelly room. Unfortunate for us, we had to stay because we traveled with our dog and that was the only hotel in the area that accepted animals. The continental breakfast - ha, all they had was cold cereal, and one of the three mornings they had mini bagels you could toast. They advertised Free Wi-Fi, couldn't even get a connection in hotel. Anytime we left the room for more than an hour, the key had to be brought up to the front desk and reprogrammed. They blamed it of the TV, which it never was near.
Our family has never experienced a hotel so disgusting. We camp a lot, and a cabin in the woods is cleaner and smells better. Terrible, Terrible! Disgusting, and I lost a lot of time with my son on the vacation we took him on, due to the fact he couldn't be in the same hotel with me. Very disappointed!

My husband and I were trying to stay out for the night due to a power outage at home. He rented our room. When we entered the room, we turned on the air conditioner, and my husband turned down the covers on the bed where he found spiders crawling. We immediately removed our items from the room, and he went to the office to get a refund on the room. But we were refused a refund.
The general manager, Tony **, would not answer our phone calls. So I left him several messages stating I would like to speak with him about a refund. This morning, my husband spoke with him on the phone, and he very sarcastically told my husband that he could contact the health department or Channel 2 for our refund.

I had made a reservation with Super 8 Motel for the 15th of July for a king size room and I received the confirmation number in an email as well. When I reached the hotel at night 12 AM, they denied the room saying that they did not get any request. I called up Super 8 Motel and they asked if they can talk with the Front Desk associate at the motel. But still, no room was still provided for me. I asked the associate if I can talk with the manager, but she won't let me do that either.
I called up Super 8 Motel and requested them again to help me, and they said they can't do anything other than getting me a room in another hotel. They took my credit card details and they booked me at a nearby hotel which was around 25 to 30 miles from there. I called up that hotel and they said they have not received any confirmation. And even if they received the reservation, they still don't have any rooms available at their hotel. I had to roam around the area in search of a room with my family at odd hours. I finally got a room after roaming around for 2 hours.
I had to over pay the amount as it was not in a deal. I lost some money, time and my family had to go through the worst experience because of this. I also sent 3 emails to Super 8 Motel about this but got no response for 3 days. On the 4th day, I got a response stating that the General Manager of the Super 8 Motel at Canonsburg will be calling me. I had to pay extra for the new hotel room and had to go through a lot of physical and mental trauma.

Date of stay, 2010-03-27. Hotel name: Super 8 Motel Atlantic City. Hotel Address: South Tennessee Avenue, Atlantic City. I was very disappointed with this hotel. This is the worst hotel one customer can stay. I think this hotel should pay back all the money a person pays. The room was shabby, stinky and is having a smell of hospital. The room service is negative. I asked for a glass of water at 3 am and the person in the room service told me it is not possible and told me I need to come down and take water from outside the hotel. This hotel should not have license. The breakfast is pathetic; no coffee, no egg, no juice nothing. I cannot believe how they run a hotel. I am going to take legal action as if one customer does not get a glass of water in the night. I think this hotel should not be a motel. This is a horrifying place to stay with no service, room’s dirty, stinky smell, and pathetic room service.
This is ridiculous. Regarding coffee and juice, there was nothing throughout the tenure of my stay. After such a horrifying experience, I will never ever stay in that motel and will recommend everyone not to stay there. Even if a big enemy asks for water, they would have given it. This is inhuman, and don’t you think that if someone asks for water they should give? Come on, we are customer and where is Customer Satisfaction? This is ridiculous argument. Really, this motel has set the lowest standard and their argument is lacking rationalism. I am completely disappointed!

I had made a reservation on Thursday, July 1, 2010 for a hot tub room for my wife and me. We were to check in at 2:00 pm. We got there at 2:45 pm and we were given the room keys. Went to the room and it was filthy. Bed not made, towels every where, hot tub dirty. They ask us to wait outside in the 93 to 95 degree weather. So we put on our suits and went swimming. There were people grilling at the pool and under the steps where we had to get to our room. Plus, there was a woman cutting watermelon on the steps also. So we get out of the pool and go to our room.
The paint is bubbled up by the hot tub along with mold on the floor. The paint was bubbled up by the toilet as well. There was food left in the refrigerator. Under the bed was food dirt and a chopstick. We took pictures. We went back downstairs to talk to the manager. The time was 5:20. We did not get in our room until 3:45. We asked for a different room or our money back. The answer was no to both. We lost $99.20 to this dirty, nasty motel where I would not even expect my dog to sleep.

Just stayed at the Super 8, 81753 Highway 111, Indio, CA 92201. I had some accidents that I notified the office about upon leaving which I was hopeful that my honesty would prevail, but I am not totally sure it did. I fear it may have backfired. I feel I am being punished for being a good, honest person. I was charged $80 for a broken coffee pot and soiled sheets.
I had two accidents and incident with my credit card. One my period started early and stained the sheets which I bundled up with towel with soil part facing out, so the cleaning crew would see it clearly. I left a tip and notified the morning staff upon leaving with my apologies. As you can imagine that was difficult and embarrassing with a full breakfast group right there in lobby. Then that very morning, I accidentally broke the coffee pot when the lid fell inside it and I tried to pull it back out. I even cut my stomach just a bit, but I admitted this incident as well to the morning staff, which was very kind and considerate. I gave my apologies again as I did not mean for these things to happen.
She did not believe I would be charged, but could not say for sure as the manager would have to decide. I told her just to have the manager call me if there were any charges. I got a message from the Manager while I was out at a movie with my daughter that my credit card was declined, so I immediately called back with new card number. It was the credit card used to reserve room, so I did not foresee any issues, but as we well know best laid plans. I told her I was sorry about this fact. I just need to know how much, she informed me that I would be charged $85 and this was a discount from what she should be charging me. I, honestly, began to cry as it made what was a great relaxing time into a horridly bad experience. As it was the same amount paid for the room without taxes and fees. Is $85 fair?
I just think it was quite expensive for a 4 cup coffee pot when I can buy a whole machine for $15 at BigLots and white sheets that can be bleach which would cost maybe $10 at Wal-Mart to replace if they could not be cleaned. I just do not understand this outrageous fee. I paid it as I am a good citizen, but it seem that being a good honest person is not the way to be anymore.
I am a teacher. It was my stay-cation. I used Expedia to pick the hotel. I was hopeful with reviews of this hotel not being very good, but it stated that it went under reconstruction about a year ago and last two reviews were favorable. I figured I would give it a chance. Even though when I drove up I got the impression I chose badly as the iron rod fencing around the place made me feel like there might be some less than desirable customers. I was about to give it a glowing report even though there were some cosmetic items that needed to be address and I felt like moving to a new room after that first night because I was placed by a room with 4+ men who I guess live there who were drinking most of the night. I did overhear another tenant nearby talking about his time in jail.
These two incidents just gave me a bad vibe. I ended up just staying in for the night as it made me feel a bit uncomfortable to say the least. I did not move the next morning because I did not want to inconvenience anyone along with the men next door ended up being very quiet and I convinced myself that the others left, so I just stayed in same room. I did overhear another tenant nearby talking about his time in jail again ignoring it as you get what you pay for and I know I went cheap, but after the Manager called I was too upset instead giving a warning to those others who might stay there bewares of my issues.

We had a two year old child staying in one of the rooms and did not want her sleeping in a bed that was not clean. We went to the desk to report this to the manager who was supposed to be on sight according the sign on the wall. She was not so the lady (Ashley) behind the desk called the manager (Sherry) at her home. We asked for her to come to the hotel to speak with us in person. We were told by the lady behind the desk that she lived two blocks from the hotel. We waited for her for 10-15 minutes and she did not show so the lady behind the desk called her again.
At this point, the manager said she was not coming to the hotel and would only talk to us on the phone. We tried to explain to her what was wrong and she would not listen to us. She was very rude and unprofessional. She just kept telling us the rooms were pre-paid and she would not give us our money back. She did not offer to get the room cleaned or even come and look at it. I tried once more to get her to hear my complaint and she told me she was through with this. I asked for the name of her boss and she told me she did not have a boss and hung up on me. We have stayed at Super 8 hotels all over the United States and we have always found them to be clean and the staff to be friendly. That is the main reason we pre-paid because we thought we could trust Super 8 hotels. Sherry did not live up to what, I thought Super 8 hotels represented to the public. Whether a person pre-pays or not for rooms, they should be guaranteed clean rooms and be treated with respect.

I got a room for me and my sister. My birthday was Monday (May 3). Her prom was tonight (Saturday May 8). For this and as an early graduation present for her, we decided to get a room and spend some quality time together since it may be our last chance. While she was at prom, I decided to go hang out with some friends, she was going to go to our room with a few friends, change, and then come pick me up since I was going to be drinking, she was going to be the DD. Her and a few friends went to my room to change, the key didn't work. They kept trying, didn't work.
So she goes to the lobby (wearing her prom dress with her clothes in her arms) and the male refused to give her a new key since I was not there with my id and then he threw the key at my sister and told her and her friends that they had to leave right then, have me go there with my id and key to get my refund. She calls me crying, barely able to breathe. The man had put her into a panic attack and she didn't have her medicine on her. I called and ask if there was any chance of a refund since all I did was pay for the room and left instantly. He said no. I paid almost $90 for a one bed room, and didn't even get to step inside of it.
Since my sister was there with a few friends, he says I was no longer allowed in the room nor have a refund. He hangs up on me. I get angry. I call back. He tells me that I would not get a refund again because my sister went there with friends. I tell him that I am unaware that I am not allowed to have people in my room. I signed something saying that there would be two people staying in the room, but nowhere did it say that I wasn't allowed to have other people come over. So he goes to hang up on me again. I let out a cuss word slip. Finally, I ask him for corporate number. He gives me some other number, but they fortunately gave me the right one. By this time I'm livid. That's where I was supposed to be staying. I had nowhere else to stay, so now, I have to fend for myself. Luckily, my friend said I could crash on her couch, but that's not the point.
I call my mom and explain to her what was going on. She calls. She didn't even get to say her name and this man is yelling at her saying that he is going to have the cops come to her house. The cops to my house for trying to get my money back? Usually, you would call the cops if someone were to steal your money like what they had just done to me. I finally call back to ask for his name so I have everything taken care of when I call corporate the following morning since they are closed now, and thankfully the woman answers.
I asked for his name and told her it was so I could make a formal complaint, she gives me his first name, and then very rudely hangs up on me. It's amazing that what should have been a very special night turned into a nightmare. My sister's prom night was ruined, my late birthday with her was ruined, and what I wanted to do for her for her graduation was ruined. All of that was ruined and I would be staying on the streets since I had no where to stay if it wasn't for a friend that put herself in an awkward position to let me stay with her. Now, this night is my sister’s worst night of her life instead of the most amazing senior prom. I'm thankful that my friend let me stay the night or who knows where I would have ended up.

Nothing was said at check-in time. The second evening, someone named Tanya stopped us and accused us of hiding our dogs so we would not have to pay their fee. She said it was $25 per night for our two dogs, but she would cut it down to $20 to help us out. I told her we never paid a fee before. There is nothing on the website, or at the front desk to indicate any kind of pet fees.

Just to give a few examples: The shower had some drippy soap or shampoo in the nooks, it was obviously not cleaned. The toilet seat was dirty as well. There was mold and unidentifiable gunk in the seams and corners of the bathroom floor. The cable outlet did not have a cover plate, only a flimsy piece of foam covered it (major violation!). We could not find the remote until the next morning when our 6-year old found it on the floor between the bed and wall. You did not have to worry about having scented soap for your shower because after drying with the towels, you smelled like an old cigarette. All the linen, including the pillows smelled like they came from a nightclub. There was stuff dripped on the very stained walls. Cobwebs hung from the lights between the beds. This place was disgusting!
And to top it all off, we arrived around 10 pm and had purchased dinner to eat in the room and someone had the nerve to complain to the front desk that it sounded as if someone was "jumping" around the room! We are in our mid-40s, had our 76-year old mother on oxygen with us and our 6-year old who sat in a chair and ate his dinner. Paper thin walls/floors?

I think this is a terrible way of running a business and if I don’t see some kind of refund or discount, I will let people know about this incident. I think there should be some action taken against this girl that led us to believe otherwise against the person who trained her. Or, it could be the clerk the following day.

We reserved a hotel room several months in advance of 7/25/09 for one night. When we arrived, we were told that they did not have a non-smoking room available. My husband came to the car to inform me and we were going to leave when the motel person then said yes, they did have a non-smoking room. This room was not fit for humans. The carpet was damp and worn, wall paper was hanging, and there was no hot water. The manager then changed the room and this room had clogged drains in the sink and tub. Someone did come and unclog them but then the toilet started leaking. Also, we had to ask for a clock radio for an alarm and a phone. This was, by far, the worst situation for overnight accommodations I have ever experienced.

Every month, I take a room in Super 8 in Sudbury, but on July 28, I was really disappointed because my room was smelling of food and the bath was dirty. I had to clean it. So, when we pay $100+ per night, don't you think we should have a minimum of quality?

On the 24th through the 26th of July, I and many members of my family stayed at your motel. I am disappointed in the service you provided; the rooms were filthy and your service was unsatisfactory. On the last day of our stay, the air conditioning was turned off and the internet service was also turned off. Our check out time was 11:00 AM, on the morning of the 26th. We should have been considered customers until that time and should have received all services available to customers. Having the expected services unavailable was unforgivable. If our business was not wanted or appreciated, I would rather you turn it down than treat us in that manner. Is this the standard policy at all Super 8 facilities?
I require nothing from Super 8. I just want you to be cognizant of how you are treating your customers. You now have more than a hundred people who know personally of this horrible experience. I am sure that each one will recount a bad experience to at least ten people. You do the math. I will never stay at another Super 8 motel. If you cannot provide professional service then you should provide none. I hope you and your organization examine your policies and procedure and make the necessary corrections.

I have stayed at this hotel before with no problems. I stayed again on the night of Saturday, July 25. I stayed at the Super 8 in Edinburg, Texas on East Canton Boulevard. I checked into the hotel and shortly after I was there, I took a shower only to find that the wash cloth was dirty. I got out of the shower and grabbed a towel to dry off with and there was blood on the towel.
Then, my mother-in-law noticed that there were hairs all over their vanity mirrors. I called down to the front office and told the guest services. Then, about 10:00 pm, as we were getting ready to go to bed, we pulled back the covers only to find that the sheets were also dirty - not only dirty, but hair all over the sheet. I once again called down to the front desk and the girl at the front desk told me she would come and change the sheets. I was very disappointed. I have just recently changed the hotel chain I have stayed at and I think I need to again. It was very nasty and no one seemed to care.

This was an online reservation. Recently, my fiancee booked a reservation on the Wyndham Rewards website for a 2-night stay in Palm Beach, Florida in August for some courses at Nova Southeastern University. But because of a recent family issue, our plans had to change so we decided to call customer service to cancel our reservation.
Much to our surprise, the customer service representative Stephanie told us we couldn't get refunded on that stay. She mentioned there was a No Cancel Policy for that reservation. I proceeded to explain to her that we were not going to be able to take that trip and didn't want to get charged for something we were not going to use. She then told us there was nothing she could do and forwarded us to her supervisor Wayne ID#** who I proceeded to explain our situation too. Wayne proceeded to tell us that a No Cancel Policy means no cancellation and he could not help us.

These filthy rooms featured aging doughnuts in the dresser drawers, 1 of the room doors did not lock at all and the housekeeper did not even close this door after "cleaning it", so it was left completely open all day. There was no ice available, the toilet did not flush and one air conditioner didn't work while the other had one temperature - freezing. The staff members could not effectively communicate with the guests at all. Our confirmation numbers were ** and **. Our gentlemen returned upset, unkempt, and unslept. This was a horrible experience for our company!

My wife, my daughter and I needed a room for 2 days in Springfield, OR on 6/13/09. My daughter wanted to pay so she was going to use her debit card. My name was used on the paperwork so her credit folks, not knowing who I was (different last name, she is married). So we paid cash so there would not be any problems. At five in the morning, I noticed a phone message so I answered it and was told to go to the lobby at once.
The night clerk was telling me in an unusually loud voice that I needed to give her $50 more for a security reason and that my room was to be inspected before it would be returned. She also added that the debit card, which we had already decided not to use, had denied us, yelling so everyone in the lobby could hear her yelling out the private information. I gave her the money and she did not want to give me a receipt for it or write that it would be refunded if we met the inspection standards the last day. She talked to me as if I was garbage. I just want to let people know not to go to that motel and be treated as I was. I would not recommend this motel to anyone. On the last day, we called the office for our inspection, a different lady came in and started laughing. She said we passed and it wasn't necessary to do this, that the other lady was only being very rude.

My daughter and grand-daughter were traveling back to the base in 29 Palms, California. They had come to see me in Fort Worth. They stopped at this Super 8 to spend the night on May 9, 2009. She carried her bags in and my two-year old grand-daughter. They went to the rest room and started to unpack. She thought the room wasn't too clean and pulled back the covers to check the bed. There she found black hairs all over the sheets and the sheets were spotted. They looked as if someone had slept on them. She went to the office and asked for a refund. The lady and man there started yelling at her when she said the room was dirty and called her a liar!
They better be glad I wasn't there! She took them to the room and showed them the disgusting bed. They said she laid on it and it was her hair! My daughter has red hair. They didn't want to give a refund. More customers came in the office and asked my daughter why the manager was yelling. She told them about the room and the customers said, "Well, they aren't getting my business!" and walked out. They yelled at her some more and finally credited her card back all but $10 for using their bathroom! Shame on them! My daughter was in tears, calling me long distance, crying! They upset my grand-daughter, yelling at my daughter in front of her and other customers! My daughter is pregnant and her husband is in the military. Shame!

When we arrived and got into the room, it was obvious that it had not been vacuumed. The window sill had dead flies on it and the bath tub was dirty. When we took a shower, the towels were barely bigger than hand towels. The towels were paper thin and rough. The service was terrible. After the first night, the only thing they did was make the bed. They did not replace our towels or give us more coffee. They did however take our used towels so we had to go get more towels. Unfortunately, this was the best night because from then on I do not believe they even came into our room to clean it. The beds were not made, the room was not vacuumed and the bathroom was not cleaned. The sad thing is that with decent service and regular towels, this could have been a decent hotel. Beds weren't bad and it did have a refrigerator and microwave. Appeared to be new carpet but the way they were keeping it, it will not look new for long. They need some service tips on how to run a hotel.

I called to get a room for the weekend of July 28th to 28th to visit my daughter after Hurricane and was told that they did not have rooms but that one had just come up at a price of $132.00 that is what they had and that Demand was high. A month earler I stayed at this same Motel at a price of $42.25. I just feel like they more than doubled the rate due to Price Gouging techniques. They claimed the Red Cross and Emergency Workers were taking up most of the rooms. We only saw one ambulance and that was it.
They told us that we could not change rooms the next day to a more affordable one if one came up. I was very dissappointed...the hot tub did not work...there were kids throwing rocks at our room and basically the so called complimentary breakfast did not even have coffee two days in a row...nor fruit and warm milk. This Motel did not want to honor Hotels.com prices.
We ended up paying $271.18 instead of the regular rate of $85.00 for two nights. This was a hardship due to the fact that we just wanted to see our daughter and check on her well being since she rode out the storm etc...she is a PA/Medical student and I hope this did not happen to anyone else.

It was dreadful. A family brought a dog, clearly no pets signs on all doors, pool was FILTHY, my fiance cleaned it out, then family thru their filthy pup in there, we did not use pool, we spent money on public pool at nearby Fredericktown MO. That was Sat Morning. Dog was still there Sunday when we checked out. Side doors do not lock for security, however signs clearly state they are locked for our protection. NOT. Worst yet, dog kept jumping on me and family was like bad parents with a terrible twos toddler, didnt even get up to get the dog off me, three times (I was in a lounge chair). It left **** on the property, I actually watched once, they had no desire to clean it up.
Sat night we go to dinner for Mexican food, and decide we want an ice cream from Sonic. We bring it back and think the pool only has one gal in it now (it is daylight about 630-7 pm) and my fiance had cleaned the pool out HIMSELF with the super 8 net for about 10-15 minutes so the pool still looked very decent thanks to my fiance. We began to walk fully dressed, no suits, to the pool to have our ice cream pool side. The woman exits the pool, she is very large and very high on something. There are several beer cans and an empty twelve pack container on table. Drunk man cant get gate open and tries 3-4 times, obviously her partner named Bruce, know cause she kept yelling it. He gets in, they are icky and I am no better than anyone but they are icky, dirty, high and yelling. He proceeds to take out his family jewels if you will and they begin to have sex in the pool right in front of us.
I get up, sick to my stomach, this was after I had already complained nicely to an Eastern Indian man at the desk about the dog deal earlier, he could care less. I got an I am sorry. I then go in and say that is it,, (while he is attempting to check in a new guest), now you have two intoxicated people having public sex in the pool. He does not get up, he does not handle it, just oh no, so sorry. We go back to room. Next morning we kill 2 roaches near the bathroom sink. We tell [their] decent employee, Kathy at front desk and she said she got numerous complaints about the dog, but that they were still allowing them to stay there. Further more she was as sick as me about the sex and the bugs.
I would NEVER stay at one of those again, and i have in the past and had no problems, this was our engagement weekend and the memories we will always have. Unbelievable!

I was supposed to stay in a Jacuzzi room at your hotel this past Saturday night (June 28, 2008) with my boyfriend. I reserved the room online, like I am accustomed to doing, and was certain everything was okay. Upon arrival at the hotel, the desk clerk (I apologize but I did not get his name, he was the only one working at 5:45 that evening) asked how I was paying. When I replied "Cash," he said I would have to hold the room via credit card for the evening and pay cash upon check-out the following morning. I'd never encountered that before, but that was fine with me anyway. He took my information and said (exact words) "I just need to get an imprint of your card." I handed him my debit card, he filled some more papers out, handed me my keys and said "thank you."
To my room I went. Unpacked my bag and prepared to take a shower. Mid-way through my shower I heard someone enter my room. It was the desk clerk! And I was in the shower! He said "excuse me." and I said "excuse me I'm in the shower!" so he said (still in my room), "your credit card was denied." and I said "ok, I'll take care of it when I get out of the shower."
Once out of the shower (and after attaching the safety lock on my door to prevent future invasion), I contacted my boyfriend, who was on his way to the hotel, and asked him to give the clerk his credit info when he got to the hotel. Before I could even finish dressing, another knock - and another intrusion - by this large man the desk clerk. He couldn't get through since I'd put the security lock up. But he was Yelling this time. "YOU NEED TO COME TAKE CARE OF THIS." I said, "sir my boyfriend is on his way, he'll be here in minutes." NO YOU NEED TO COME NOW. "Five minutes sir."
He left. I called my boyfriend who promised me he was on his way. I finished dressing, picked up my phone and room key and went downstairs (leaving my purse/wallet/money/car keys/etc. In the room). I waited for my boyfriend for a few moments by the back door. I then heard a lot of voices coming from the lobby, so I thought it safe to go that direction (the desk clerk was honestly scaring me at this point). He was behind the desk when I got there, and I told him my boyfriend was on his way and I was waiting for him there rather than in the room.
"you're too late" was his response. He requested that I leave the hotel. "whatever, I'll go get my things and leave the room," I said.
When I got to my room, there were POLICEMEN in there. Five of them. Going through my things. Dumping my purse and all my belongings onto the bed. Seriously? I weigh one hundred pounds. Was this large 300 pound plus man afraid of me? So I told the police officers what had happened and they chuckled. Laughed out loud actually. They said "I'm sorry but he is asking you to leave.""Gladly" was my response.

I made a reservation 2 weeks in advance at Super 8 and was quoted the rate for that weekend. Upon arrival he tried to change the rate for myself and another person who was in the lobby at the same time. He was extremely rude but gave us the price we were quoted. When I entered my room I noticed a large amount of flies in the room. I went into the bathroom and found dried vomit on the toilet seat. When I went to the desk to complain I was told that their was no one available to clean the room. I told him my room needed to be cleaned now, so he responded he would clean the room in the next ten minutes. I returned 15 to 20 minutes later and found that someone had been in my luggage. At that time I gathered my belongings and went to the front desk and demanded a refund. He gave me money back,and I had to spend more money than I had budgeted for expenses. Other guests had equally horrifying conditions.
I returned on Dec. 7 and 9 to ask for the owners' name and was refused that information, and after several minutes of me trying to explain the danger that the guests could be in, telling him that I was going to do anything in my power legally to shut them down, he informed that I didn't know who I was messing with. I have filed a formal complaint with Super 8, and the franchise owner has 7 business days to respond to me. I would like to know who regulates hotels, and who else I need to contact to have this establishment repaired (if that is possible) or shut down. Thank you.
