Super 8 Sawyer

The location is hard to beat, and the staff are always extremely friendly. The room seemed clean, as did the bathroom. There was some old soap and shampoo left by the previous occupant, and their bill was still folded on the table, but that wasn't a big deal.

We'd stayed here once before and it was okay, but this New Year's Eve stop on our way through town was a bad experience. We came so the kids could swim, but the room was freezing when we arrived and took a while to warm up. The pool room was cold too, and drafts came through the windows. There was also a dead roach on the wall. After swimming, I was getting food ready when a small roach ran out of our Taco Bell bag. I looked for it and saw another one. The front desk moved us to another room, but there were dirty socks by the bed, two empty cans behind the microwave, and another roach. We got only an apology, which didn't satisfy us at all. We'll never stay here again.

For the past six months, I've been working away from home on and off and have always stayed at this location. The rooms are immaculate, the service is great, and the staff are top notch and very friendly. They've gone above and beyond to accommodate my visits. If you need a place to stay in the area, don't pass this one up. You'd be sorry.

The price and location would bring us back, and the clean pool was a nice extra. The room was clean and had newer items, plus a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Breakfast was free, with waffles, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, toast, yogurt, bananas, coffee, juice, and cocoa. It was better than I expected from a budget hotel, which is why I gave it a four. The hair dryer was broken, and we wished the pool stayed open later.
