Super 8 Motel - Metropolis

What a find, and such a blessing 💗🍀. We love that there’s a pool, especially at such a cheap nightly rate. Breakfast has plenty to choose from, with hot options, fruit, juice, cereal, and coffee. The staff are kind and helpful, and Super 8 feels like a home away from home.

For $58 a night, I guess it was a bargain, but I’d pay $10 more to stay across the street. That’s where I usually go with my family, and it’s quieter with a hot breakfast. This time I was traveling alone because my brother had a stroke, and I was on a tight budget. Next time I’ll spend the extra. Would I stay here again? Probably not unless I had no other choice. Take the review for what it’s worth, I just want people to know what to expect. The place smelled of marijuana throughout. My room didn’t have the coffee maker or even cups that were supposed to be there, so I had to buy some. There were stains on the ceiling that looked like old water damage from a leak, I assume. I was on the ground floor and could hear everything upstairs. I got what felt like elephants overhead all night. I know that isn’t the hotel’s fault, but I was in room 135, so maybe it’s just that room. Be aware if you book it, I’d avoid it. The room itself wasn’t terrible. The bed was mostly comfortable, and the heater worked well. The guy at the front counter was okay, not rude, just reserved, I guess because his English wasn’t very good. Breakfast was standard continental fare, with no hot meat or eggs. The old saying is you get what you pay for, and that’s pretty much this Super 8. Was it the worst place? No.

The room was dirty and smelled strongly of mold. There was mold all over the bathroom, and I took a video, but it wouldn’t load. The toilet barely flushed and the lampshades were broken. I also saw a roach on the way to the pool.

We’ll stay here whenever we’re in town. The place is always clean, the breakfast is delicious, and the staff are so kind and friendly. 💗
