Super 8 by Wyndham Glendive — Hotel in Glendive

If you enjoy being consumed by bedbugs then this is your place to stay. My 7 hours of sleep in this fabulous place left me with 37 different bite locations...16 on my left hand alone. Just entered day 3 of this and now all of the itchy, pus filled blisters are starting to pop and ooze yellowish clear fluid.

I travel for work and have been staying in motels for 26 years. I'm a very level headed individual and know these things can happen even in very nice establishments; it's the response from the lodging provider that matters.

In this case the initial response from the manager was "oh, room 211?, we haven't rented that room in a couple months." Yeah, sure you haven't. I only checked the top 2 corners of the bed I stayed in and collected 4 live bugs in one of their disposable cups (actually caught 7 but smashed a few trying to corral them and lost another when the cup was knocked over) and brought them down to her. Checking one corner of the other bed in the room resulted in 5 or 6 corpses. I said I didn't have time to deal with this at the moment but expected to have my stay refunded.

Mentioning this prompted her to go on the offensive and insinuate that I may have brought them in with me. Extremely low class maneuver to which I responded that I had stayed in the same room in another town the previous 2 evenings with no issues. Only upon waking up in their building with the telltale itchy pink spots did I then decide to 'go hunting'. In 25 years of staying in motels this is the 4th time this has happened, but this is the most severe.

Calling back the next day with the blisters really starting to blow up and be irritating, I was told that they had "gone through the entire room and only found 2 bugs", and was met with an even stronger insinuation (more of an outright accusation) that I had brought them in and she was not authorized to give a refund by the owner even if the bugs had been from their building. Sure...the bugs plotted for 2 days to smuggle themselves at the last minute into my garment bag (which hung on the provided wall rack) in this other motel while deciding to delay their inevitable feast until the evening after I drove 435 miles and worked an 18 hour day.

Pretty sad response...just wanted the world know of...

The social didn't have much for curb appeal but the location was convenient. The lobby was very nice, it was modern and the chicken lady seemed initially awesome. The good ended there...|The hallways with the first sign; dated, dingy, and dirty. The carpeting was kind of crunchy, and this carried into the room...|The room was more humid than the outdoors. The air conditioner was on but it was not doing what it needed to do. The lady at the front desk assured us that if we turn it off and back on while making sure that it was on Max cold that it would catch up. It seems to until the thermostat cycled it off, as it doesn't come back on by itself and less you manually shut the whole unit back down.|This wouldn't be such a problem except for the fact that it starts to warm up and get really muggy really fast when you're trying to sleep with 96° weather outside. The hotel was unwilling to make an accommodation for a different room, and explain to me the definition of a working unit. It gets cold. My definition is that it works without intervention...|What about you in the morning I had stopped working all together no amount of intervention would help. I even took a video so I could show it to the hotel next-door. That's important because this HOTEL doesn't have a desk 24 seven, you actually have to go to another hotel. The gentleman at the other hotel told me that I paid for the room, he's not authorized to make room changes, and he certainly not going to do anything about a refund. With that, we packed up to leave. As we were putting belongings in the car, we met another guest to have a very similar problem. He was given the same runaround, and he left as well. We both ended up at a hotel across the street; my advice to everybody reading this - start with any hotel across the street, you'll at least have a comfortable night! The hotels on this side of the street are owned by the person doing...

Possibly my worst hotel experience in my nearly 60 yr life|||The good things: staff was friendly and it was obvious they are trying to make some updates||The bad things: TV remote didn’t work to change channels so I was stuck watching old Seinfeld episodes, no breakfast on site but you could get it next door at their sister location||The ugly: no matter what cosmetic updates they make it’s still an old motel with very poor walls. I was exhausted after a couple stressful days of moving and driving. I ignored the construction folks with the tv turned up loud enough for me to hear in the neighboring room. I covered my ears to the amorous next door couple at 10 pm and 4 am. I also endured through the folks banging on the room windows next door asking to be let in. But I lost it when the next door roommate got into a screaming, profanity laden rant on cell phone with someone from 2 am to 3 am. And then the cherry on top was the fact that they started construction at 7 am. ||All they had to do was tell us that we would be better off finding 2 rooms at the hotel next door that is owned by the same company. I’ll never stay here again and I’ve already told one group heading to Yellowstone for snowmobiling to...
