“You Get What You Pay For...”

My husband and I travel to Grinnell every year to visit family. This year we stayed at the Super 8 because it was the cheapest. Big mistake. Despite being told that our room was "new" it was very dark and musty. The bathroom was disgusting. It was obvious that the floors had not been mopped in some time. It smelled of urine. The shower walls had all kinds of hairs (including what looked like pubic hairs) on them. The blankets on the bed were full of cigarette burn holes and the comforter was so stinky we threw it on the floor every night. The worst thing that happened to us though was that we came back to our room after being gone all day to find that the cleaning lady had left our door wide open with all of our belongings inside. Apparently she had been distracted while cleaning our room because the dirty garbage cans were sitting on top of the bathroom sink with no bags in them.

“Mold”

From the moment we walked in we could smell the mold. I thought it would be better in the room but it wasn't. We slept terribly (with the window open so we could breathe and the a/c on to try to cool things off) and just generally had a miserable night.

“Not impressed”

Bugs, juice machine didn't work, billing was messed up.
