Reasonable location
The location of the motel is generally deemed acceptable by guests, with many commenting that they felt the property was in a safe neighborhood. A car would be beneficial here but with that in place, attractions are within a reasonable driving distance.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Disappointing breakfast
Guests are often disappointed by the quality of the breakfast, often commenting that there is insufficient choice and that some of the food isn't particularly well cooked. Also, food seems to run out before the end of service and is not replaced.
negative:
Mixed feedback about rooms
It seems that not all rooms are created equal at this Super 8. It's either that or guests have wildly different expectations. Some found the accommodation perfectly adequate while others said the beds and other furnishings were old and dated and point out that there is a distinct lack of maintenance.
negative:
Housekeeping could be improved
Feedback for this motel rarely paints the housekeeping service in a good light. Guests report problems such as musty/smoky smells and stained bedding and carpets. Also, a number of guests have found items from previous occupants in the rooms - ranging from food in the microwaves to needles under the bed!
