| - I have definitely stayed at worse hotels. That said, it was pretty bad.
Yes, I know it's a cheap Super 8, but the website lied, it was kind of dirty, and there were some red flags.
PROs
+ It was cheap.
+ It was a good location for hitting Valley of Fire State Park.
+ Parking was free.
+ A short walk to I-Hop...cuz you're going to need to eat breakfast somewhere.
+ The AC worked and wan't super loud.
+ Good water pressure in the shower.
+ The girl who checked us in was nice, and was able to scrounge up a couple extra pillows since theirs are super hard and flat.
+ We checked under the mattress for bedbugs and dead hookers, and found neither.
CONs
- FYI, if you look at the picture on their website, they show a nice, slightly photo-shopped looking lobby. That's not their lobby and never was. It's a Korean BBQ that's now vacant.
- The website says they serve a continental breakfast. I'm not sure what continent they're talking about, but it's bad coffee and a juice machine with nothing else.
- The website also says they have free WiFi. However, they girl at the front desk told us they can barely get a signal IN the office, but we definitely weren't going to get a connection in the room.
- The room, especially the bathroom, was a little yick. Lots of dust, stains, etc.
- We had to ask for extra pillows because theirs are really, really flat (see above). She was able to find a couple for us, but they smelled vaguely smokey.
- Several of the rooms have noticed posted in the window that they had been shut down by the Southern Nevada Health District (see photo). I couldn't figure out from an internet search what the violations actually were, but it can't be good. *shudder*
- The second time I took a shower, I turned on the water and it was dark brown for several seconds. I hate to even think why.
It was cheap, we didn't get robbed, and we didn't come back with bedbugs, so it was survivable for a couple of days. If you're fine being lied to and sleeping next to a room condemned by the health department, this should do just fine.
