Floor needed to be mopped, not vacuumed. TV was broken when I checked in. They told me when checking in they were going to replace it the next day but didn’t. Now I’m being charged $250. Disputing with CC company.

The negative reviews of this property are accurate.
The service was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with genuine kindness and respect. Every staff member went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The room was not only spotless and well-kept, but also thoughtfully arranged to ensure a pleasant stay. The atmosphere of the area was peaceful and quiet, allowing us to rest without interruption. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly return.
Says anti smoking but reaked of cigarette smoke. Our bed sheets had burns and holes on them from people putting out a cigarette. Felt dirty. Person who worked front desk was speaking on the phone while checking me in. They don’t give refunds so don’t book because it’s cheap… just go across the street to the Hilton spark and pay the extra… it’s worth it. We walked in and walked right out of that super 8.
For the breakfast there non not even coffee. Meanly disappointed there was not coffee and the orange juice machine looked like it was not cleaned in a week.
The room was unsanitary the tub old dirt and soap scum in it! The bed had body soil and body fluids on the mattress and dead bugs and hair! I asked them to change the mattress cover or a new mattress, and they got very angry and said that they would not change the mattress cover and then tried to put clean sheets on top of the disgusting smelly soiled mattress cover, and I said no don't do that, take them off! They got mad at me and told me to leave! I told them that I was not going to stay in that nasty hotel anyway and I asked for my money back! I heard another couple complaining about the horrible smell coming from their bed as well! I called the police and the health department! Also I called the BBB!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Can’t call that a breakfast.
Ok clean but would need a deep clean.
Don’t know where all the positive reviews about cleanliness are coming from. Stains on the bed sheet that were definitely from a person. Hole in the bathroom door. Shower was in bad shape and hardly worked. Pictures that are shown are not what you get.
Staff was friendly but facility was old and loud people in other rooms.

Very disappointed due to them keeping my $50 refundable deposit.
They told me if I don’t smoke or damage anything I would get that returned to me. I clearly don’t smoke and I only checked in at 10 o’clock in the evening and went to sleep and checked out in the morning at 6 AM. So I don’t know how sleeping in their bed constituted keeping my $50 refundable deposit.
