We arrived in the evening as a stop on our Big 2022 Road Trip. We were greeted by a friendly desk attendant in a non-air-conditioned lobby. We received our room cards and were instructed to "park behind the partying contractors in the parking lot". We let the ranchera music serenade us as we parked in a very busy lot for that late at night and proceeded past the picturesque courtyard and through the debris-strewn hallways to our room. We opened the "experienced" door and saw a large room with a newer hardwood floor - but couldn't see much, as several light bulbs were broken or unplugged in the room and bath. Also, the AC was set at 61 degrees, but wasn't cooling at all - we removed the cover and saw that much of the AC mechanism was covered in crud and also iced up. We put a fan on the AC ice to melt it and see if it would work better and began to move in.||||Once Jose (a really nice maintenance man) brought bulbs and re-plugged some lights, we could see the walls were rather stained and the floor not exactly clean. The large flat-screen TV was good, but there was no remote. We went back to the front desk and asked for hand towels (none in the room) and a remote. We received a remote, but were told no towels at all were available in the evening. We settled in the warm and humid room and tried to relax, thankful that the walls did shut out all the festivities outside. ||||But that's when we saw a small army of cockroaches swarm our bags on the table under the TV looking to share our snacks. ||||We went to bed, but the AC never worked properly and we think the cockroaches stole some of our good cookies. We replenished our ice at the machine and went on our way. We wanted to speak with a manager, but after a somewhat long wait (behind other disgruntled customers) we were told one was not onsite and "they'd take our comments".||||Likes: friendly staff, nice courtyard, convenient location, good ice machine, reasonable price||||Dislikes: AC never worked (sweaty sleep isn't fun), very grubby room, light issues, insufficient towels, pool out of service, and those...

   Read moreThis was the worst hotel room I've ever stayed in. The room was musty and the carpets were filthy. I didn't even take off my socks for fear contracting some kind of disease from the floor. The bathroom was horrendous. The bathtub looked to have 50 years of built up mold and the toilet barely flushed with the broken handle. Nevertheless, I didn't shower. I probably kept myself cleaner by not using the shower. There was the emptied used cardboard toilet paper roll sitting on the back of the toilet when I open the bathroom door. I couldn't sleep from wondering if they really clean their sheets and covers therefor I stayed on top of the covers. The mini fridge was dirty with a broken shelf. The top of the fridge and the dresser didn't look to have been wiped down in weeks. The two small garbage cans had no bags but the remnants of disgusting leftover trash. The door literally had the dirty marks around the edges from years of opening and closing the door with your hands or feet. Translation= the door hasn't been wiped down in years. There was a puddle that turned into a lake outside our room door when we got up in the morning. No, it wasn't raining or did it rain within days. I was hoping to slip to sue this franchise. The staff that was cleaning it up didn't put a wet floor sign or try to tell us there was a leak. There were some serious liability issues going on there and they were just oblivious to it or just didn't care. This hotel was not renovated in this past decade in my opinion. I' don't mind spending more money on hotels and I realize why I do stay at the higher end hotels. This budget hotel should charge by the hour. I can't believe the Super 8 Corporation hasn't shut this hotel down. I've stayed at many Super 8 in the south but I never stay at this one again. It will be a long time before I stay at...
