Budget Motel-LD — Hotel in Superior

My wife and I needed a last-minute place to stay on a weekend around Duluth for cheap, so we called Budget Motel to see if they had any rooms available. They said there were two rooms available, one for $55 and the other for $75 (they were really trying to sell me on the more expensive one). We finally arrived and the whole place looked really sketchy—beyond normal motel-sketchy—and we're fairly accustomed to staying at old motels. We then found the office door locked, which made everything even more sketchy as though they were afraid of being broken into. After being let in by one of the motel owner's children, the lady I spoke with on the phone helped me at the desk, except that the rates of the rooms were now $65 and $75 (she again tried to sell me on the more expensive room). She wouldn't even admit that she said $55 over the phone multiple times. So at that point I didn't even care if I spent more money at another place to stay than being ripped off by a little old foreign lady trying to make a few extra bucks at her janky motel. We ended up driving to Grand Marais and stayed at a much nicer place that was only slightly more expensive.

We arrived in the Duluth/Superior area without a hotel reservation and after checking with most brand hotels/motels, discovered outrageous prices. Settled for the budget price that we have become accustomed to paying at the brand hotels and that brought us to the Budget Motel. The only plus is that the beds were comfortable and clean. Otherwise, the room is very dingy, badly in need of a paint job. The air conditioner didn't work, the advertised Wifi didn't reach our room - we had spotty access if we left the door open - and we paid the same price $79 plus tax that we would have paid for much better accommodations with more amenities in other places. We felt taken advantage of and we wouldn't even consider staying there again or recommend it to others. Drive an hour and find something better down the road unless you want to pay $200/night elsewhere in...

Husband & crew are working in Superior, ( tank repair), have been there before when Cici ran the place, old but clean, no bugs. NOT SO ANYMORE! The afternoon they arrived they couldn't get any heat and after many attempts and time they repacked & moved to another room ( newer section). After dinner, watching TV, they see a bug walking on their beer can. They thought, (men!) one bug, okay; by the third bug they complained & were moved to their third room. You guessed it, bugs! They also don't clean the rooms daily so they asked for a vacuum & the desk personnel just laughed. When they asked for another blanket they were told they didn't have ant extras & were given a bedspread. They have since day moved to another hotel. If it were possible he said to give a minus star rating. Staying here would be equivalent to sleeping on the...
