This hotel sucks
By Pam S, 08/05/08
The beds were hard. Their service was poor, they did not tell us where the ice machines were or anything. The room we stayed in smelled like stale cigarettes and had an awful odor. The continental breakfast sucked. The rolls were hard, milk was warm and nothing was nice. We will never stay here again! The price was ridiculous for what we got. We would have been more comfortable sleeping in our car.
 
 
 
 
 
Worst Super 8 I have seen
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/13/04
This is a terrible dirty hotel,we were there as part of a bus tour. No porter to help with the luggage, no heat in the rooms, if it did run you had to turn it off it smelt so bad. I had to claen the tub before we could take a bath. Bugs on the floor, I had to put the extra towels on the carpet to walk on the floors , they were so dirty.I felt un safe and terrible area to walk to a restaurant. I will never stay at another Super 8 for a long time. Clean up your act.

Poor, even for a Super 8!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/07/04
For those on the highway, the location can't be beat for convenience. However, the convenience attracts more than a few transients, drunken teens and otherwise unsavory folks to both the hotel and parking lot. Even non-smoking rooms smell of stale cigarette smoke, and the outside doors are flimy and not well-secured. Beds are hard and uncommonly uncomfortable.
