Rating: 1/51

STILLWATER, MINNESOTA -- I prepaid room for 3/12-3/18/2016. A minor incident evolved, cops were called, my request. SYNOPSIS: Cops came to my room, ORDERED me to leave. I stated I did nothing to warrant this action, "hence" the barricade. It was one long night for my dog, an Australian Terrier, & I. The cops tried with force to enter. It was a cold, very windy. A rainy night. My window was broken and was stuck open all night. To make things worse, the bathroom facilities were not working. A very long night. I felt terrible for my dog. He was shaking under the desk. I couldn't go to him because I had to hold the dead bolt with all I have because cop "Brian" was trying to make entrance.

LANTANA, FLORIDA -- On 6/4/2015 approximate 6:45 pm, while returning to the 1258 Hypoluxo Road Super 8 hotel to retrieve personal belongings for a nephew and the unauthorized of charges by the hotel in the amount of 956.83, a front desk employee assaulted my nephew because of a derogatory comment made. Lantana Police were called and they did not arrest the employee. Instead threatened to lock up my nephew as a result of the racial epithet made.

No physical retaliation occurred. The employee punched my nephew twice in the head, attorneys are now pending. This employee is an agent servant of that hotel and should act with more professionalism than that in customer service. Although inappropriate, regardless what anyone says without further overt actions is protected by the 1st amendment but assaulting an individual by a hotel employee is not. Do not go to this hotel!!!

Ants in Room, Double Charged

WACO, TEXAS -- Checked about 10 PM and paid for room. Then directly to bed tired from traveling all day. Woke up next morning needing to clean up and get back on road. 1st issue ants all over the night stand, bed and bathroom floor where they had attempted to repair the floor and left a bare space. I could see on the night stand where they had just smeared food.

After calling the desk they came in and saw the ants. They offered another room. Told them we did not have time. We just wanted a refund. After calling the manager they gave us a credit to put back on credit card. They called after we left and told us the shower was working. I told them they did not give us the secret code for the shower. Instead of giving us credit like they said they would, they double charged for the room. I can't see why anybody would want this motel on their franchise.

Don't Stay Here!

LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- We arrived at the motel. The outside of building was dirty, the lobby carpet run down and a really bad odor in the air. The room was on the 3rd floor. On the way up, there were terrible odors in the hall. We reached the room and opened door and wanted to run! The beds were rumpled, desk drawer broken and sitting on top of desk, no towels or washcloths, sunglasses from someone was left on the counter, the bathroom was dirty (commode not even flushed), there was mold and a terrible smell in the refrigerator.

It was hard to see what was outside because the windows probably had original fingerprints from installation! We never set our stuff down. We went back to the lobby for a refund because we couldn't stay there! When we told the desk person about it she stated maybe the room hadn't been prepared for check-in... Check-in time is 3 pm. This occurred at 6:30 pm. When we left a fly even got out in front of us! He couldn't take it! A real dump!

Didn't wait to see if they had bed bugs too

800 ARGOSY PKWY RIVERSIDE, MO 64150, KANSAS -- Let me start by saying I have stayed at several Super 8's, Days Inn's, Ramada's Microtels Travelodges and over the years and have generally had good experiences. But this time I had an option of staying at your motel or the casino directly next door. Because of my previous experience with your chain, always being clean and well kept I opted for the value of this hotel. Here's what happened.

We arrived around 4 pm. I checked us in and informed the desk staff that I would pay cash for the stay. He stated that my credit card would not be billed until the next morning upon check out. Meanwhile my wife proceeded to the room to take a shower while I unloaded the car.

When I came back to the room, my wife was standing in the hall way pointing inside the door where a cockroach was walking across the sink area. I trapped it in a paper cup and took it to the front desk explaining that I have standards and would not be staying there. I have never seen ANY insects in your hotels before and was VERY shocked.

I proceeded to take the luggage and other items back to the car. Came back in and was told that I didn't need to worry any room charges. But after I insisted, I receive a receipt for the cancellation… the desk person HAD charged my account and I am now waiting for the credit refund to be placed back on my card. If I had not insisted I would have paid for a roach infested hotel room I had not stayed in and would be surprised if I would have ever gotten my money back.

While he said “I'm sorry,” the loss of respect for your chain has led my wife and I to agree to never again stay in a Super 8 or any of the other Wyndham Properties. While I realize that it might be a franchise store. I am disappointed in the lack of over-site. And general “so what attitude” of the three people that were standing at the front desk.

Super 8 Roach hotel
By -

MADISON FLORIDA, FLORIDA -- We were driving 18+ hours and stopped in Madison Florida at the Super 8. We checked into a room with 2 queen beds, because we had all 4 of our children with us. Once we entered the room I noticed it was dirty and had a funny smell, but we were tired from driving so long and the kids were crying. When I sat down on the bed that was when we noticed the first of many bugs in the room. I went to call the front desk and a roach ran out of the phone. One also ran out of the clock.

I sent my husband to the front desk to get a refund, so we could leave. He came back and told me that there wasn't a manager on duty, so all the girl at the front could do was move us to another room and give us a discount. We didn't move rooms because it was hard for me to believe there was a room in that hotel that didn't have bugs at this point. Also the kids were very tired and cranky. I can not express how tired we all were. We would just have to talk to the manager in the morning.

We did not bring our things into the room, for fear of bedbugs or having a stowaway roach or two in our bags after staying there. We only needed a few hours sleep, so we could continue to drive safely. I removed all the sheets from the beds except for the fitted sheet, so I could check for roaches and other bugs. My husband lay down with my two younger children (1 yrs and 3 yrs) who were exhausted and crying, while my older two children 9 yrs and 10 yrs and I kept an eye out for the bugs. We did not sleep at all, and kept the light on all night.

I know we should have left, but they wouldn't give us a refund without the manager and it was dangerous for us to be driving anywhere that tired. We were on a budget and couldn't pay for two hotels in one night. We checked out early the next morning, and asked for the manager to call us. When she called us she admitted to seeing a roach herself and had requested an insect service to come out to the room again. She said she would talk to the owners about a refund.

We paid $61.80 they discounted $10.00 that brought the amount to $51.80 then brought the room down to $39.99 their most recent and maybe final offer. They said they would not give us a full refund because we stayed in the room and didn't take their offer for another room. (My view is if one room has bugs they all do). She also stated that one bug in a room is not uncommon. How about 10+ in a room. Also for the price $61.80 I didn't expect roaches.

(I guess we are just used to sleeping roach free.) I have photos of the bugs. Super 8 customer service told me if I can not resolve the issue with hotel directly, they would resolve the issue seven days after the date I filed my complaint. We shall see how this goes. Stay away from Madison Florida Super 8 it's the Roach Hotel...

Resolution Update 08/11/2009:

After the manager and owners recived the photos I took of our room at Super8 Madison Fl. they refunded us in full. Thank you

Avoid This Hotel!

STURBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS -- Avoid this hotel at all costs. The manager is very rude when dealing with the public. When I asked to speak with the owner or his manager he was evasive. There are so many more options for accommodations in this area and I would suggest spending a few extra dollars to avoid the stress and aggravation to enjoy your travel.

BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT -- The king-sized bed which I was looking forward to smelled like vomit, as did two of the lousy little pillows. My husband was sleeping on the other two little pillows. The shower curtain bar was also broken and wouldn't hold the curtain up.

Wouldn't Cancel Reservation

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS -- I tried to cancel my reservation and was told we needed to give them 24 hr notice. How do you do that when you get a call on the road that there is a family emergency? I called them at 5:00 to cancel and they told me NO. I called again when I got to my destination and again was told it had to be a 24 hour notice. This doesn't seem logical to me and we will NEVER stay at a Wyndham Hotel again. Thanks for listening.
