Super 8 Gallipolis Pt Pleasant Area

I wasn’t actually a guest in a room, but I’d absolutely recommend this location, especially if you find yourself in a crisis. Lauren and Skylan were incredibly helpful after my vehicle was totaled in a deadly accident on the bridge into WV while I was on my way to see family in NC. I was left stranded nine hours from home and eight hours from my nearest family farther south. They kept my belongings while I went next door to eat and let me stay in the lobby until my ride could come up from Virginia Beach. They also talked with me and helped calm my nerves. They were the sweetest, and deserve gold medals.

The woman who checked me in was nice, and the room looked clean. But the place is old and still smelled of smoke despite no-smoking signs everywhere. There were cigarette burns on the sink counter. My AC didn’t work, though fortunately the weather wasn’t very hot yet. The TV was acting up too: when I changed the channel, I’d get sound but no picture. The walls are thin. Once I opened my door because I thought a baby was crying in the hall, but it was actually a couple of doors down across the hall.

The staff were very nice and the location is prime, but the building is in bad shape and needs investment. For the quality of the rooms and property, it costs far too much in my opinion. The walls look like they haven’t been painted in 20 years. Every AC unit I passed smelled moldy, especially the one in our room. The carpet was damp and gross, there was water damage in the bathroom, and the pipes screeched the whole time I showered. The mattresses were hard and uncomfortable too. A family member booked the room. Looking back, I think camping would have been more comfortable.

It’s a decent budget hotel: easy check-in, clean, with friendly and attentive staff and a pretty good breakfast selection. It’s not winning any beauty awards. I took off a star because there was no hand soap in the room, and it had a very faint smoke smell despite being non-smoking. I did arrive late and didn’t call the front desk to ask if they could bring soap. I’d stay again.
