I liked the convenience and the pool and hot tub. Did not like having to be let into the pool by staff and get towels from the front desk. We waited about 10 minutes just to be let into the pool.

Made to wait for 15 minutes for check-in while staff just chatted with other staff. The noise of road was unbelievable and did not sleep. No power for 8 hours. People were sitting in hallways and kids running up the corridors and down to early hours and not being addressed by staff. Communication from staff on power situation was not explained and no updates. Made to wait for check-out while they chatted again. No apology for lack of power. Expensive and poor service. Camping would have been better.

This Super 8 was fantastic. Everything is done correctly, clean, comfortable, friendly staff and decor was far superior to many hotels that are much costlier than this hidden gem. Breakfast was the only thing I would rate as average.

Quiet between rooms and hallways, breakfast is minimal. Have to ask front desk to use pool, that’s not comfortable and you have to wait when they are dealing with someone checking in.
