Super 8 By Wyndham Houston/Dtwn/I-610

Clean room and lots of open parking for truck drivers. Works very well for truckers.

The place looked clean, but once the lights went out, roaches started falling from the ceiling into my bed. I was awake all night. The receptionist gave me hornet spray to use around the bed so I could try to relax and sleep. Other reviews suggest this has been going on for at least a year. I won't be back.

I needed a room at the last minute, and the front desk manager helped me by phone and gave me a fair rate. The hotel was quiet, clean, and seemed recently updated. There was no carpet or bad smell, and the shower had large 3-by-3-foot tiles around it. The beds were clean and comfortable. The sheets were clean too, though they could be retired.

The room smelled clean, and the laminate floor had just been mopped, though it was still wet. The water pressure was great, the hot water worked well, and the TV was larger than most. Those were the bright spots. I was staying because my vehicle broke down while I was traveling, and I thought this was the better choice. On arrival, I was disappointed there was no access to the motel's front lobby. Covid is done, and guests expect the usual amenities and service. Keeping the lobby closed may save the owner on labor and supplies, but people don't want to be cooped up in a room. The air conditioning wasn't on when I entered, and it took several hours to cool the room from 80 degrees. The king bed was uncomfortable and left me with a stiff back. It was also the first metal bed frame I'd had that squeaked loudly whenever I moved. The toilet needed two flushes for anything. Keeping the shower curtain closed so water stayed in was an ongoing wrestling match, and the slow drain left me standing in about four inches of water. There were nasty stains on the undersheet along the side of the bed facing the door. I asked the front desk for a late checkout because my truck wouldn't be ready and I had nowhere else to go. They refused and said I had to leave or pay for another day. No way.
