Super 8 Bridgeton/Arpt/St Louis Area

The breakfast was mediocre and ordinary. For the price, I suppose you get what you pay for, but I wouldn't pay full price here. The toilet leaked all over the floor, and the front desk seemed indifferent when we told them. We were given only one towel set for two people, then one extra towel after asking. The tub faucet was barely attached to the wall. We requested a smoking room, but there were no ashtrays. The TV was on when we arrived, and we figured out why: the remote changed channels but couldn't turn it off.

Getting back from our flight, the receptionist called because I'd accidentally left my ID. I asked him to move us from the smoking room because the smell was awful, but he refused, saying we'd already paid. He said it was supposed to smell horrible because it was a smoking room. We were stuck there until our flight Sunday morning. I've stayed in plenty of Super 8s, and the others were great. This one was awful, even for a smoking room. The rug smelled as if it had never been vacuumed or shampooed, and weed reeked in the hallway. I could hear people across the hall arguing through the thin walls. The room was in bad shape too. The window was wide open with no screen, the lamps looked discolored and one didn't work, and the mismatched corner chairs looked like they were from the 1960s. The old TV barely had volume, the bathroom light fixtures were discolored, and the comforter had cigarette burns on the right side. There was no hot shower, either. After running the water for 15 minutes, it was only about 30% warm. The man at the hallway steps at 5:30am, playing on his phone, made me uneasy. I thought he might be waiting for a drug deal or to buy something, and I was scared we'd be robbed. I was glad nothing happened. The place looked to me like it attracted drug addicts, pimps, and prostitutes. If you value your life, don't stay at this nasty motel.

The only decent thing was a very limited breakfast and a nice man at the front desk. I was there alone, seven months pregnant, and stayed just four hours before leaving as soon as it got light. I even thought about sleeping in my car, but the neighborhood seemed questionable and I wanted to stay safe. I slept in my sweater on my own blanket from the airplane, without touching anything. I'd only needed a quick overnight stay before leaving early, and chose the cheapest place without reading reviews. Huge mistake. Even the non-smoking room reeked of smoke so badly it was hard to breathe. The sheets and comforter were stained and had holes, the carpet looked decades old and unvacuumed, and there were huge holes in the walls. There was hair in the bathroom sink, the smoke detector had been tampered with and had wires sticking out of the ceiling, and there was no phone in the room. The furniture was badly battered, with half of it broken, and there was no elevator. This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Save your money and sleep in your car or pay a little more for somewhere decent. It was horrid.

The front desk man was nice, and the sheets were clean. But I had brought cleaning supplies because my daughter was having surgery the next day, and I ended up scrubbing the shower, toilet, sink, and wall. There was hair everywhere. Our non-smoking room had been smoked in, and the cigarette smell gave my husband a headache. It seemed to have been cleaned, but I had to spray Lysol on everything to cover the odor. The refrigerator wasn't cold and the microwave was dirty. We left before 6am, so I can't comment on breakfast, which was served from 6 to 9.
