Super 8 Williamsburg/Colonial Area

Don’t be fooled by the picture. This place is disgusting. The room smelled so bad you’d want to plug your nose, and the sheets had cigarette burns and blood stains. On the first night, I found several long strands of someone else’s hair on a towel. The light switch above the sink didn’t work, and the bathroom door stuck so badly I got locked inside. Breakfast was sad, just frozen cinnamon rolls and old bananas tossed on a counter. The keys needed several swipes to work, luckily I wasn’t being chased by a murderer.

There were a few decent things: the pool was clean, WiFi was free, the room looked generally clean, and it had a mini fridge and microwave. Service was adequate. But the photos are heavily filtered and don’t show the property as it is now. The bathrooms were dirty and old, keycards worked only about one swipe in fifteen, worn outlets wouldn’t hold plugs, and some light switches didn’t work. It’s an old, outdated building that needs renovation, and the TV was old too. I’m never staying again, especially after finding a much better budget motel nearby. I wouldn’t recommend it. It might do for a quick night, good luck to anyone who dares stay. I won’t even touch the shower or tub.

For $50, I wasn’t expecting much, but I did expect a clean room. There was so much hair in the tub it looked like the Wolfman had been there. We ran into several roaches, the whole place smelled like cat urine, and the elevator was scary.

I felt unsafe the whole time here. There were people hanging around who seemed really creepy, and I saw what looked like prostitution and drugs all over. I barely slept. This place is a dump, and I’d tell anyone to stay somewhere else. You might honestly be safer in your car.
