Super 8 Charlottesville

Wasn’t expecting much going into it, just wanted a clean bed to crash on. The whole building, room included, smelled like a mixture of cigarets and mold. Visible mold growing in the fridge, don’t open it! Broken chair and shower curtain. Beds and especially pillows look dirty. Should have ate the $ 80 and gone elsewhere else… I feel dirty.

It’s not a Hyatt hotel. It’s just what you need. It’s clean and the beds are comfortable. Interior corridors, I like that. Free wifi and a nice continental breakfast. The best thing about Super 8 C-​Ville is the front desk ladies, Jean, Desiree and Sharon and Dan the Man!!! I stayed here when my Mom was dying. They all were so kind to me. It made me feel at home. It’s worth the money you pay and it’s not real expensive.

Among the worst I’ve ever experienced. Poor Algene is such a nice person and worked so hard but she has to check people in and out, fix TVs, get additional pillows for people, arrange the breakfast in the morning and she’s the only one on duty. Dresser drawers were broken and falling apart. Bed was shot so it sank into a v when you sat on it. Room wreaked of cigarettes. Sheets were worn with little blood spots on them. Bedside lamp missing but the little knob to turn it on. Algene couldn’t keep up with the coffee demand at breakfast because again, who can manage breakfast and all the checkouts all at the same time? Wyndham should not have its brand on this property. And the owners need to give her some help. And renovate this place.

Dirty and smelled like mold. Usually im a big believer in u get what u pay for. But in this case they couldnt pay me to stay here. We didnt even stay the night. After 10 minutes we checked out and went ½ a mile down the road to the courtyard marriot which was only $ 40 more a night. Furniture in our room was also broken. And shower was nasty. Empty vending machine and ice machine was out of order.

I’d leave 0 stars if I could. Reserved this room in advance. When I checked in it was dirty and moldy. The bed was broken and the whole place smelled like mildew. They refused to refund my money or give me the name of a manager I could speak to. I left within a minute of checking in and stayed at the Holiday in down the street.

Average room, average price. It’s a great place for a pit stop, but not a full service resort if you’re needing that. Got exactly what I expected for the low price I paid.
The staff were super friendly. I came early due to my flight and they made sure a room got ready for me by 10 am at no extra charge. Algene the assistant manager was so nice and accommodating.
I was going to do 2 stars, but the extra star is because the staff were so friendly. Especially Algene the assistant manager.

Dirty and unorganized. Room service knocked on our door at 8:30am. Shower was filthy and the whole hotel smelled of weed smoke. The Curtains look as they never have been cleaned.

This was not the best hotel I’ve stayed at nor the worst. In a nutshell you get what you pay for with this hotel. It is about 2 miles from the main campus of UVA. The beds weren’t the best. The tv seemed somewhat old and the room wasn’t the most inviting but this the Super 8 Motel not the Marriott Courtyard.

We stayed there because it was convenient to our route. Big mistake.
They were friendly enough and it seemed clean at first. But there were bugs in the room and when we turned the heat on there was a burning odor which set off the room fire alarm. Also the toilet didn’t flush sufficiently. Oh, and the phone didn’t work. At that point we got a new room. There was a spoiled-​milk-​like smell in the hall as we moved. The new room was in better shape but at 2 am we were awakened for the fire department haz-​mat team to inspect the floor; someone had reported the smell (s?). It turned out something had spoiled and wasn’t found by housekeeping.
We finally got back in the room and to sleep, then the garbage trucks arrived about 5:30 am. No more sleeping for my wife.
The desk people were apologetic and gave me a small refund and told me where to write to try to get more.
This is my first 1 star but I feel it’s well deserved. Their housekeeping failed miserably. Oh, and the wi-​fi worked but before I could use it I had to sit through an ad for «clean coal», which would be funny if it weren’t damaging our air and water so much.
Needless to say I won’t be staying there despite Guadalupe 2 being across the street.

OMG everything looks like it is from the seventies. If you came out of prison this would be ok.

While I stayed, the place didn’t seem to be TOO bad. Oh sure, you could hear noise from the outside hallways, and the smell of smoke lingered even on the non-​smoking floors, but hey, it’s a Super 8. I’m happy to just not find any dead hookers under the bed.
I felt some itching on my legs during the night, but I brushed if off. Two days later, I noticed some red marks — yep, bed bugs! Yech! Absolutely fails to meet a minimum cleanliness standard.
I’m in the process of requesting a refund for my stay (yeah, right).
Wi-​Fi is allegedly free, but not working.

Bed is uncomfortable and squeaky. Air conditioner is very loud, but necessary to drown out the noises from outside. Bathroom is barebones but clean and functioning. Room is functional but not for extended stays. I’ll spend a little more next time for a better hotel.

For the money this place was adequate. No bugs, room was ready when promised, no signs or smells of smoke in my non-​smoking room, and SUPER fast free wifi. Best part was the nice lady behind the desk, Gene. She was very polite and helpful.

Three words: what I expected
Frequency: once
Stayed here for a few nights while participating in some weekend fun at UVA. The room served its purpose as I shared it with two people and did not spend too much time there. It was basically used as a pit stop to store stuff and freshen up before going out. That being said a nice feature was the roll-​away bed you can ask for to accommodate the third person. Might want to ask ahead of time when reserving the room though as they tend to run out.
The breakfast is free, but pretty slim on selection. A few small donuts, English muffins and coffee were the options. The people were friendly enough and the room seemed clean and comfortable for a short stay. Not luxurious but what more do you expect from a motel. Oh, the AC is a little loud so if you are a light sleeper you may want to reconsider. It did not bother me since I sleep like a rock.
