Let me start by saying that you can only have so much in the way of expectations when staying at a Super 8 hotel. That being said, this place was in the process of a remodel, which from the looks of things, were beginning to wind down. The updated look is nice and modern. On a side note, no elevator so if you have bad knees like myself, staying on the second floor is painful.
The room...fresh pain, new floors, and the overwhelming smell of old cigarette smoke. The front desk gave us a can of air freshener made for cigarette smell so I can only guess it's a known issue.
They apparently forgot to check the lighting during the remodel, the one overhead light appears to only have 1 out of 4 fluorescent bulbs working and the nightstand light flickers like a 70's disco.
The mattress was nothing short of awful and to make matters worse, they used thin sheet metal to block under the bed instead of wood so, every time you roll over, it actually sounds like thunder.
The staff were all very friendly and seemed sincerely happy to help.
