Super 8 by Wyndham Gas City Marion Area

Lori is a gem, so friendly. The beds are clean and comfy, and the WiFi is good, though for some reason it doesn't work on tablets. We stay here whenever we're passing through.

The room is old and looks clean at first, but don't look too closely. The mattress protector was old and nasty, and there was still hair and other dirt in the bathroom. Not worth the price. Stay away.

The rooms were clean and nice, and the location right off the interstate is great. Most staff were helpful, and one employee was very honest about the problems, which is why I rated the place higher. The breakfast person was no help at all. Breakfast was bad: moldy fruit, warm milk, and toast, plus orange juice that was more like Sunny D than fruit juice. It might be okay for kids. The showers were bad too, taking 10 to 15 minutes to get hot. When I asked the front desk, they said they knew, but the owner wouldn't fix it. Waking up to an ice-cold shower isn't good. A new recirculating pump is probably all it needs, at a cost of $800. I bet more than $800 in revenue is lost when customers have that experience.

Beware, I was charged $423 for a stay that never happened. I apparently made a reservation at first, but wasn't sure it went through because I wasn't billed then and got no emails before the reservation date. The woman I spoke with was extremely rude.
