Super 8 Dunbar / Charleston

Our family of four stayed in a room with two double beds. The room was good for the price.
We payed $ 72 for the room and there was a basic breakfast the next morning. The hot water in the combination bath/​shower was only about 100 degrees which is not near what you would have at home.
The room was small but clean. There was ample high speed wifi, as at one time all four of us were online at the same time.
There was plenty of parking room even though there were industrial business trucks parked there as well.
There is a Kroger, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Go-​Mart within walking distance.
The room also had a refrigerator, microwave and safe.
The TV was a flat 32 inch screen.
Even though it was a non-​smoking room, the neighbors were obviously smokers as we smelled smoke in the bathroom.
There was a one cup coffee maker as well.
The carpet was modern and new. The décor post modern.
The other brand name hotels in the area are all $ 100 or more per night because of the casino two exits from here.
We used a hotel coupon we picked up at the rest area on highway 79 South.

After a wretched night in Columbia, South Carolina, this has been a breath of fresh air, literally! The room was clean and bright, my service dog was super comfortable and slept deeply enough to dream the whole night through. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable.
Kroger and a Wendys, even Joanne Fabrics in walking distance!
I did knock off one star for finding a dirty towel behind the bathroom door.

We stayed here on a recent trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The room was clean and up to date. The A.C. worked fine and we noticed no odd smells.

First room smelled like dog. Second room smelled like mouthwash. Very antiseptic, like trying to cover up the smell. The A.C. was set at 67. Room was very cold, and damp. Would not stay here again, which is sad, cause we’ll sleep just about anywhere…

Not sure whether to rate this one A-​Ok or Eh, ok.
Pros: room itself was pretty good. It had been very recently remodeled;
— new bed with mattress protector to ward off bed bugs
— new flat screen tv with all the channels
— room smelled decent (new carpet)
— free wireless worked without any issues
Friendly desk lady. She acted like she was genuinely thrilled to see me and my little dog even though I’m sure she’d been checking in guests all evening and was probably quite tired.
Cons: everything except the room was old and seemed run down. The remodeling of the room didn’t extend to the bathroom — while some of the fixtures were new, it had a very old tub. The lobby was tiny (barely any space for breakfast stuff), stairways were kinda yucky and everything smelled old except for the room itself. Location wasn’t very nice. Not a very good place for the dogs.
I’d stay here again if I was passing through and needed a stop to rest before driving again, but I definitely wouldn’t plan a vacation around staying here. :)
