Cleanliness
3.2
Many reports of dirty rooms: mold, hairs on bathroom, dirty towels, stained comforters, filthy carpets and clogged/dirty tubs; though some reviewers said rooms were clean, overall cleanliness skewed negative.
Service
7.5
Multiple reviews praise the staff as friendly, helpful and responsive (easy check-in, staff fixed issues quickly), making service a clear positive despite property issues.
Location
6.8
Several mentions of convenience: close to I-75, near restaurants and easy on/off the freeway; some safety concerns noted about the surrounding area.
Room Quality
4
Mixed to poor: reports of broken or falling fixtures, holes in bathtub, doors that wouldn’t close, cigarette smell in rooms, but a few mentions of recently remodeled rooms and new flooring.
Amenities
3.5
Amenities lacking or minimal for many guests: no in-room coffee maker or hair dryer reported, weak showers, flimsy patio locks and limited/poorly maintained common items.
Value for Money
5
Mixed perceptions: some say it’s acceptable for the low price (‘you get what you pay for’), others feel it’s not worth the cost given condition problems.
Food and Beverage
3
Breakfast repeatedly criticized — sparse selection (old toast, cereal), dirty breakfast area and no fruit/juice; overall F&B offerings are poor.
Overall Experience
7.8
A divided experience: many guests highlight friendly staff, convenience and cleanliness in some stays leading to repeat visits, while others report severe cleanliness and maintenance problems that make the stay unacceptable.

Pros:

You really do get what you pay for. I don’t know what I was expecting from a $70 hotel room, but I would have paid more somewhere else if I knew the condition of this place. The only good thing I can say about this super 8 is the staff was friendly and it was easy to check in. Other than that, the room was falling apart, the bathroom door didn’t close, there was a huge hole in the bathtub, everything felt dirty, the sliding glass patio door only locks with a flimsy metal bar, and there are so many sketchy people in this area. This place really looks like it’s on its last legs. Would not recommend unless you’re broke and desperate for a bed.
