Okay but probably won’t stay again

Very dog friendly! The room was clean, mattress comfortable however the base of the beds was a hollow metal so anytime someone touched it, it made a very loud banging sound. We got very little sleep as the sound was heard through the floor and walls. It was also hard to regulate the temperature in the rooms

Liked: Cleanliness
This is a typical Super 8, convenient to the highway. However, they used some kind of cleaner that was toxic. It gave me a headache and a raw throat. It seems to come from the bedcover but permitted the entire room. It wasn't just an unpleasant smell and I'm not that sensitive. This was truly awful. I'm submitting a review in hopes that they will read it and do something about it for future customers.
