"&*$# em all! I'll bury those cockroaches"
Pros:

When my family and I entered the hotel room, I noticed a weird odor and immediately opened the window to get the smell out. During our stay, the walls seemed thin because I could hear conversations in the other room. When I talked to the front desk to work out some reservation issues, there was a lack of professionalism in his response when it came to resolving the issue. I also overheard another hotel guest complaining that she saw cockroaches in the room she was staying in.

Do not plan on staying at another Super 8.
Pros:

Breakfast and location was ok.

Cons:

The room smelled musty when we entered at night. We turned up the air to get the smell out of room. Bed was comfortable. I moved the trash can in the bathroom and saw water under it. I felt carpet outside the bathroom and it was wet which I am guessing was the musty smell. Too late to try and move to another room. Also we heard stomps over our head late into the night therefore not a good sleep. I did discuss the wet carpet when I checked out. They indicated that they have problem with the shower because it is an ADA room???? Why rent it out then? Super 8 used to be a quality hotel to stay in. No more.

Ok in a pinch
Pros:

Queen bed mattresses are hard and uncomfortable. Bedding is marginal for comfort and warmth. Building humidity control is poor. Overall, cleanliness is mediocre.
Carpet needs replaced throughout the building. Hotel walls are thin and late night guest noise is not controlled well.
