Super 8

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 09 Jun 2011 rated 4 out of 10.

The bathtub wasn't very clean, the bed had a beer cap in the rail. The carpet was dirty and the refrigerator did not work. The TV kept cutting in and out. Was not pleased at all. Won't go back. There was only 1 ice machine working in the entire motel. There were wire cages on the premises for pets.

Positives: The location.

Negatives: The whole room.

Old does not have to mean nasty. This is truly the dirtiest hotel I have ever seen. Just from the looks and the smell, I would say the carpet is the original that survived Katrina and they just dried it out. The rooms smelt like what one could describe as a combination of mold, and mildew. The bathroom had not seen bleach or Comet in a while. And after hearing stories from some of the other in out party, we are not sure the bed linens were clean.

Positives: Close to the Coliseum.

Negatives: Very, very dirty.

This hotel is still trying to recover from the flooding from hurricane Katrina in 2005 since there was water in many if not all the rooms. It seems they are trying to be conservative in correcting deferred maintenance problems in some of the rooms. I had several problems in the first room I was placed in and voiced them to the manager who immediately upgraded me to a much nicer room that had been completely remodeled.

Positives: Upgraded room by manager.

Negatives: Some rooms were bad.

Positives: It was nice and quiet.

Negatives: Nothing.

This hotel was a dump, it looked nice from the outside. There is only one working ice machine on the entire property. The room that I was assigned to had mold growing everywhere in it, after being assigned to another room I woke up the next sick from the presence of mold. This motel needs to be shut down.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

Overall the stay was relaxing and accommodation. The weekend was very busy due to the car show that was happening in town. I think the staff worked well under pressure, could have moved a little faster. This was not the staffs fault but rather the manager on duty. The staff seemed to know more of what was going on than the manager. This made the check in wait time unbelievably long. We enjoyed the pool and the scenery and will be back. Rooms were clean, but not very cool when we came in. If you are looking for a cool room in the afternoon, request a east facing room. That way the sun is not going down on your side. This made the room warm. By the way I suggest putting a few small dumpsters at each location down the beach during big events. This will keep the trash level down. I know the car show goers would really appreciate and take heed to this idea. It would have used it instead of throwing trash on the ground, I know this from years of experience! They want respect the property and the event. Think about it!

Positives: The staff was very friendly under the conditions they were working with. It was a major car show weekend. They did well for the pressure it caused.

Negatives: Bad Internet service in the back hotel rooms and slow check in due to weekend events.

Would not recommend and the interior had a damp, unclean smell.

Positives: Breakfast bar and staff were helpful and friendly.

Negatives: Room was in poor condition, AC was not good and bath was shabby.

All in all this was a great place to stay. They allowed us to keep our small dog even as they were not pet friendly. They were very nice to us and the housekeepers attended to every request, even gave us a pad to place under our kennel.

Positives: Aiming to please.

Negatives: Front desk.

I didn't like it. When we got to the room the floors were wet. They did give us another room. It was loud outside. There were holes in the wall. It was not a nice hotel like it stated. There was construction every where.

Hotel was economy room.

Positives: Hotel was on the beach.

Negatives: Rooms did not face the beach, still dirty in that area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 06 Feb 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

AWFUL, public spaces under construction. Room had filthy carpet, maid service was poor. Worst was NO HOT WATER FOR 2 DAYS. Hotel was not proactive in trying to relocate me to a room with hot water, although upon my request they did accommodate me. I think I deserve a partial refund.

Positives: Staff was helpful once problems started.

Negatives: No hot water for 2 days.

I would much rather pay more for one night than to stay there again. It was very dirty, it smelled bad, and they had roaches in the room. Two years after Katrina this hotel should not be like this! I have stayed at many Hotels since the storm and none of them were like this. Thank God I won't have to go back!

Positives: I only had to stay there for eight (8) Hours!

Negatives: The room was very dirty, it smelled very bad, and there were people hanging out in the parking lot. I did not feel safe at all!

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 01 Sep 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Doors need to be seals so that roaches and other small pests can not enter.

Positives: Very convenient to casinos, shopping, highway. Very nice staff.

Negatives: Roaches all over our room and in the sink and tub drains.

Family and I enjoyed our stay. Will stay there again without hesitation. Nice for the price, easy access to all services, including surrounding cities and airport. Highly recommended as a basically clean and friendly place to stay.

Positives: Excellent staff, family friendly, easy access to beaches, casinos, restaurants. Nice all around place to stay.

Negatives: Shower faucets were rusted, but clean and functional. Refrigerator was loud, but functional.

Kind of scary when you pull up to the front office and someone is parking their car in front of the lobby because it was broke into. I guess the two older heavy set gentlemen were not much for security.

Positives: A bed.

Negatives: A smell.

The hotel was very basic, still trying to recover from Katrina- two years later! Continental breakfast was worthless, McDonalds is down the road! If you are looking for cheap this is the place, I think most of the people staying there were long term guests who are working on the coast!

Positives: Cheap!

Negatives: Loud music playing into the night, still a ;lot of construction!

Nice rooms; had some maintenance problems but they moved us. Good location and everyone was very nice. Beach directly across the street. They do need an experience pool man.

Positives: Staff and manager were excellent; solved our problem in first room.

Negatives: Only cornflakes as a cereal. The pool was dirty and baby pool was green.

OK if you just need a place to rest your head. Nothing else.
