Super 8 by Wyndham Clinton

Location and room was clean

Front desk staff acted like she was bothered upon check in and when my card key wouldn’t open my door on day 2 of my stay

It was where I needed to be.

Asked for non smoking, got a smoking room. Smelled awful. Woke up in the morning to see a cock roach crawling on the pillow in the second bed. Holes in the bed coverings. Not a place I will ever stay at again.

My 1st impression: Very dated & in need of attention. The whole office/breakfast area had a very strong odor of Indian food. A couple children behind the counter told me to wait 5min for their dad. Mom showed up and handed me our key. Mops, brooms, cleaning supplies, and a slop sink were all visible from the front desk. Our room: Our king-size bed was clean and comfortable. You could see the attempts to improve things. A working microwave, frig, and digital TV with Comcast. On the downside, my bedside lamp w/ USB was broken, the coffeemaker was broken, the carpeting really needed cleaning (no babies!), and the bathroom fixtures looked the original beige (1970's?) but at least clean. Biggest Beef: Motels advertising a free breakfast of some kind should have it ready from for travelers, typically 6-9a. All we wanted was coffee to go. We finally left at 7a, the office was still closed, lights off, and of course, breakfast prep had not even started. Conclusion: For travelers needing a place to stay overnight with expectations as low as the price, Super 8 in Clinton will work for you.

When I pulled into the parking lot I thought they may have been out of business because there was only one car in the entire parking lot when the motels around them had full lots. I went inside to check in and the teenaged girl at the counter acted like it was a bother to deal with me. She had a cell phone up to her ear while talking with me. The first room I was given reeked of smoke and it was supposed to be a non smoking room, so I went back to the office and the girl didn't believe me when I told her it smelled like cigarette smoke. She said "It shouldn't smell but I'll go check and let you know if I think it smells like cigarettes" I told her that it smelled and I wanted a new room. She reluctantly gave me a key to another room which ended up having a broken lock and I couldn't even get into it. Then she gave me a key to the third room which had bugs in the bathtub and one very large beetle on the floor. I went back to the girl to complain about the bugs and she said "Look, listen, there's no way to keep the bugs out of the room unless we put a net around the building" Tired and disgusted, I ended up just going to Walmart and I bought some bug spay and took care of it myself.

The young lady at the front desk worked hard to extend courtesy, kindness and see that our needs were met. She said, “please let us know if we can do anything to make your stay more comfortable.” I have never had anyone offer that before.
