“Average Hotel”

Super 8 Motel

Dec 12, 2007

I remember the first time Earl a front desk clerk that took 18 minutes to check me in and then during a breakfast I saw him digging through the garabage (not a sanitary thing to do). Recently, I stayed at this property and found the staff too gossipy he said she said and I wasn't too delighted to know other people's business. I stayed in a King Suite and the price was not worth the stay and I should have gone to the Hilton Garden just in the same area as the wal-mart. I told trip rewards about my unpleasant stay and the GM (Tony) I think is his name was not professional at all and did not want to bring the issue to an honest resolve and hides behind franchise standards vs. Corporate Policies as a whole. Too Bad! he would have made a good telemarketer for them...The so-called wireless internet access was not all that good either. The location is accessible to numerous restaurants. I spoke to a local who said that effingham is overdeveloping and is dependent on families and companies with an abundant resource of financial accesses. The person Bertha was absolutely correct in her observation especially after the fact that she no longer works there.

BRING BERTHA BACK PLEASE!!!!!

Nov 12, 2007

We had been driving many hours when we decided to pull off for the night here. I was alittle nervous about staying at the super 8 as i had never stayed at one.

I was very pleasantly surprised, we had a queen bed , recliner, and a refridgerator in room. The room and bathroom were very clean. The hotel was taken care of and decorated for the fall season.

The room was on the smaller size but had enough room for our baby's packNplay and room for her to crawl around. She didn't want to go to sleep so we rocked in the recliner and then napped there for a few hours! I loved having the recliner in room.

Breakfast was good and they had muffins, cereal, juice, bagels, bisquits and gravy and donuts.

“ehhh...”

Super 8 Motel

Oct 29, 2007

I went to this hotel for a weekend trip with my boyfriend. I was a little hesitant but after seeing other reviews and the "award winning" stuff on their website, decided to go ahead and book it.

The hotel overall was alright. Definitely not for those who are used to better accomodations. It's a "no frills" kind of place, but it was pretty clean, other than the fly in our room. I was kind of grossed out by the shower curtain, and you could also hear every time someone opened or closed their room door. We picked a non smoking room, but got there early and they accomodated us by placing us in a smoking room. We went out and bought a candle from the local wal-mart to cover the smell.

Im not sure if i would stay here again, probably not. I would probably just wait until i saved up the money for a better hotel.

On the plus side, the staff was very friendly and they had great customer service. The office was also decorated in a very festive october way.

After driving all day, this hotel met our needs for an overnight stay. The room was clean and had a new carpet smell. We also had our small dog along and there was no extra charge to have him stay in the room with us.

I would definetly stay here again.

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed here one night on the way home. The room was very nice and clean, with two queen sized beds. We have a small dog. There is a large grassy area right next to the motel. The motel is conveniently located with many restaurants nearby. Only problem is that this motel only provides refrigerators in suites. They have a microwave in the lobby for guest use.
