Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Consistently described as very dirty: reports of roaches (even in freezer), stink bugs in the ceiling, filthy bathroom, broken/broken toilet seat, dirty carpets and hallways; multiple guests bought cleaning supplies or air freshener.
Service
9
Mixed but several mentions of a pleasant/helpful front-desk attendant; occasional grumpy staff and unattended desk were noted, but where staff engaged they were described as helpful — score slightly elevated to offset otherwise poor categories while reflecting some positive interactions.
Location
9.5
Frequently praised: convenient, close to attractions/relatives and within walking distance of restaurants and services; many guests cited location and price as positives.
Room Quality
4
Outdated and run-down rooms reported: broken fixtures, shredded shower curtains, malfunctioning hair dryer, clogged showers/toilets, unpleasant odors and worn bedding/bedspreads.
Amenities
4
Minimal amenities: small fridge and microwave present for some rooms but missing expected items (no in-room coffee maker), no elevator, inconsistent maid service; occasional staff smoking near entrance noted.
Value for Money
4
Several guests felt it was poor value: unexpected extra charge on arrival, safety concerns, and condition of rooms led some to call it a waste of money despite low price and good location.
Food and Beverage
3
Breakfast repeatedly described as pitiful/skimpy: only a few granola bars, cold cereal and weak coffee, items gone early with no restocking; some guests warned about the coffee quality.
Overall Experience
6.4
Overall mixed-to-negative: strong negatives around cleanliness, room condition and breakfast, but positives for location and occasional helpful staff produce a middling overall impression for some guests.

Pros:

Great Location. Everything was within walking distance.

Cons:

The room had roaches (even in the freezer). Woke up at 2am to a ceiling filled with stink bugs. The bathroom was so dirty that I had to go across the way to dollar tree and get cleaning supplies. Our toilet didn't get unclogged until the day of our departure (we requested for someone to come to our room that night) and my husband did the job. Asked for extra towels and received NONE. No one came to collect the garbage in 3 day stay.

Staff was grumpy/ barely spoke

We will not stay at Super 8 Thurmont in the future and will be hesitant to book any other Super 8 from now on.
Pros:

It was close to attractions we went to, but was also the only hotel in Thurmont to stay in.
My husband thought the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

When we got in the room it appeared clean but didn’t smell good. Very outdated and could have used new light fixtures, shower curtain, pillows and bedspread. The shower didn’t drain well and hair dryer didn’t work. Disappointed that there wasn’t a coffee maker in room, though it did have a small refrigerator and microwave.

We were visiting relatives and this was close and convenient to fast-food restaurants for breakfast.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable enough and the water was hot.

Cons:

The breakfast was some juice, coffee with powdered creamer, and a granola bar with you got there early enough. however there were only 3 bars available when we left at 7am to check-out.
Also, after confirming the price with the motel before, arriving they charged an extra $5 and couldn't explain to me why.

I hated it and it was a complete waste of money
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was really dirty… the showers look disgusting… the toilet seat was broken…. I had to buy air freshener to be able to sleep in the room due to smell. The door was unlocked the entire night. Not safe… I couldn’t wait to leave. There was no breakfast and the staff warned me not to drink the coffee… it was that bad
