"A hotel in a college area. It is old and has not been upgraded or remodeled in a very long time. I am happy to save $25 per night with outdated decor. The sheets and towels are clean. The floors are vacuumed. The showers have good water pressure and hot water. There is ZERO smell of mustiness in any room—something that would be a deal breaker for me. Climate control machines within rooms work well. Each room has a 2.5 cubit foot fridge, a mini-microwave, a mini-single cup coffee machine, and a small (32”) flatscreen TV.
The morning breakfast has waffles, cereal, bagels, toast, juice, milk, yogurt, coffee, decaf coffee. No eggs. The hotel has a small fitness / laundry room. It has a stair-step machine, a bicycle machine, and a treadmill. No weights.
Next door on one side is Cousins (sub sandwiches), and Scooters (coffee). On the other side, Layne’s (fast food fried chicken; huge line), and Denny’s (7am to 10pm). Next to Denny’s, across a short parking lot, is a Starbucks and a Panera’s.
Something to watch out for: the switches control the lamps, which means they control the convenient outlets on the lamps. The hotel was built before electronic gadgets became essential. If you are charging electronics, as I do, you will need to make sure the outlet stays on. I slightly loosened the light bulbs at night; and tightened them in the morning.
It was also not built with ADA in mind. For that, go to a newer hotel; Super8's retro-accessibility is insufficient.
