Some of you heard about our experience at a Super 8 Hotel the night before we arrived in Hershey.
We had stayed at a Super 8 before on our way down to DAP in December, in Hagersville MD, and it was very nice. Not the Hilton, but nice nonetheless.
This time it was not pretty.
Well.......yes it was.....pretty disgusting.
I think my feedback to Super 8 Head Offices, copied below, will explain the rest.
"DISGUSTING!!!! We arrived about 1:30am Friday morning, very tired from our long drive and basicly went right to bed. Upon waking up in the morning, the horror of room 209 hit home. The disgustingly stained chair, the mold in the windowsills, the scum/dirt in the corners of the bathroom and behind the toilet, the dirt actually streaming down the inside of the bathroom door, scum/dirt on the outside of the bathroom door down at the baseboards, stained (I would say unwashed) towels and facecloth, stained rug, box springs in poor condition (fabric underneath hanging to the floor on both), at least a dozen cigarette burns on the bedspread (smoking room) and the icing on top of the cake, the bloody fingerprint on the wall lamp between the beds. We (My wife and I) actually used our clothing from the day before to dry off after our showers. We did not let our children bathe there, her and I had to. This location is nothing more than a flop house WITH YOUR NAME ON IT!!! I have documented everything I have relayed here with pictures to prove it, which I would be more than pleased to send to you. I am not asking for reimbursement of our rate ($73), I just want someone to make a surprise inspection on this place, especially room 209, as the bloody fingerprint is probably still there. I highly doubt anyone has taken the time to clean anything else I have mentioned. The manager and cleaning staff should be fired on the spot and replaced by a group of Howler monkeys, as they would probably care more about the cleanliness of this hotel. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter, and being forwarded an email address where I can send the pictures of this shameful representation of your franchise."
I hope I conveyed my displeasure to them clearly enough.
Now the pictures....
Notice the snail-like substance in the bottom left of the window in the track
Have a seat and relax, make yourself at home...
With the amount of burns in the bedspread, I'm surprised it was still around and not up in smoke.
There were lots more.
This is not a dirt issue, but really. Both boxsprings were like this
There were more towels, all about the same.
The pictures, due to the flash, sort of drown out the stains.
I have posted the one that shows the best.
THESE WERE NOT USED!!
The face cloth was the worst.
And of course, the bloody fingerprint.
Maybe it was ketchup, but I wasn't about to check.
Can't wait to go back and spend more time there.
Maybe a full day, or a week, instead of the 8 hours we did.
