Cons:

The room smelled. And it was in need of updating/painting/etc. I've never stayed in a Super 8 that needed so much work.

Pros:

It was close to our destination.

Cons:

Key cards would not work properly Every time we left the room and tried to re-enter and to yo have them reissued.. That is after the first 2 time we couldn't even enter the 1st room we were given because that door never did open. Then the 2nd room didn't have a working toilet. (Wouldn't flush properly) after telling them, they had maintenance come up he plungered the toilet then said I'll leave this here if you need it. The icing on the cake was the public woman's bathroom by the lobby was out of order the whole time we were there so I couldn't even use that one. So dissatisfied with this hotel.

It was horrible. I wish that I can get a refund.
Pros:

That it was close to Six Flags

Cons:

Bathroom door wasn’t closed bathroom toilet seat was loose bathroom sink did not have filter on the faucet so water is splash and flew everywhere. One of the two ceiling fans work one out of the three lamps worked. The ceiling was filthy and they left a brick in the back door, so anybody from off the streets can come in and out of the motel.
