The property didn't have a checkin at the desk, you had to go to the hotel next door to check in. The area was also somewhat desolate unless you went over about half a mile. The room itself was OK but not for the price. Little flys everywhere and bedding was torn. Access to the highway was the highlight.

Found an opened package of s*x cream underneath the extra toilet paper roll. Looks like there is illicit activity happening at this location. Checked out early and front desk staff was extremely unhelpful. Didn’t get any refund.

Please don’t give customers dirty beds to sleep on
Nice front desk and housekeeping, but pretty nasty bed, it had a large dried up yellow stain that can be seen going through blankets and white bed sheets, both beds had large holes most likely caused by someone’s cigarette. Everything else was good, AC and refrigerator was cold and good. They gotta make sure beds are clean and with no nasty stain, it was pretty disgusting. Overall was ok.

I arrived at the property around 8:30 pm on 1/12/24. I was given a room on the second floor immediate by the stirs case. The room had a very strong bad odor . Contacted the manager and i was moved to Super 8 next door room 201. Upon entering i liked the room and it looked clean but i couldn’t fall asleep as the room was too hot and the AC was broken . During the struggle , i found a bed bug on the bed. Went to the office and i was moved to room 108 at 1:30 a.m. finally I was able to rest for the night after a long struggle. The Staff at the place were attentive and helpful. The sheets , chairs, and bed were dirty . It was hard to sleep in a felty environment. I should get a refund for 7/12/24 as I didn’t receive a proper place to rest . I have pictures to provide upon request forbed bug and felty bed sheets.
