Super 8 Commerce

If you are planning to stay at Super 8 Motel, go to a another location in area Los Angeles. Because this location is permanently closed! It’s now Travelodge in formerly by Super 8 Motel. The structure is still the same though, the room I believed the tables, chairs & bedroom may be left behind from Super 8 Hotel.

this place sucks. its by a trash lined freeway, there are these big empty rooms on every floor. there were a bunch of gnats in my room. I was in 304. my friends were on the first floor and they had gnats in their rooms. the budget hotel is even worse. we ended up staying at the hotel in the casino and it was awesome but its expensive

I don’t know why this place has so many bad reviews. First of all, people need to consider this is a Super 8 (a discount hotel chain), not the Hilton. I realize some complaints may be legit, and I sympathize with those. But here’s my experience. I stayed here 1 night, arriving at approximately 10PM. Hotel looked clean and modern at night. Went inside. Lobby was clean and bright. I was checked in quickly by a friendly woman at the counter who provided me all the info I needed pertaining to the hotel. I was given a room on the 2^nd floor, facing the pool. Facing the pool seems ideal, right? Wrong! The pool faces the I-​5 freeway. Lots of freeway noise! Other than that, the only other annoyance was the 11PM train chugging by with his horn at full blast! (Was that necessary, or did he think it would be funny to wake up those hotel people?) Entered my room and it looked and smelled clean. Came with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, and hairdryer. One reviewer wrote that her room had a coffee maker and coffee, but no coffee pot. The coffee makers are single cup brewers. You put the coffee in and set your cup underneath before you click it on. If you’re expecting to come here to watch TV, be prepared for basically over-​the-​air channels. No cable. That was fine with me. I wasn’t here to spend my time watching TV. Bathroom/​vanity was clean and fairly modern. Wi-​fi is pretty slow — a whole 11mbps which you are of course sharing with everyone in the place. The good continental breakfast was as expected of continental. I had a waffle, cinnamon roll, coffee, and yogurt. The surrounding area outside is not bad. The hotel seems to be located next to an industrial-​ish area on one side. On the other side is a major intersection with a diner on one corner, a Starbuck’s on another corner, and a Shell gas station /​food mart on another corner. I would stay here again, but not facing the pool.

Do NOT drink or even attempt drinking the tap water. You will notice that it is beyond clear and clean. Bring bottled water if you plan on brushing your teeth.

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend. Upon arrival, I was a little disappointed in the location, as it seems to be in the industrial part of town directly next to the freeway. But I’ll take the blame for that for not researching it.
The hotel and room itself were just okay. It’s a Super 8 so I wasn’t expecting anything grand in the first place. When we first entered our room, it smelled very musty, though it did seem to be clean. The bed and pillows were rather uncomfortable, I would suggest bringing your own pillow.
Towels were stained, ick.
However, the continental breakfast was surprisingly good! They have cereal, bread for toast, coffee, juice, fruit, tea, and you can even make your own waffles. Very good selection of breakfast items.
Now for our nightmare: The second night we were there, the room directly next to ours decided to throw a party. There were TONS of people who were obnoxiously loud right outside OUR window. I let it go on until about 12:30am when I finally decided to notify the front desk as I was sure others were annoyed as well. I called the front desk and let them know what was going on and they said, «Oh I know exactly who you’re talking about, we’ll take care of it right away.» But no. It went on and on until after 3 in the morning. Guys drunk, saying nasty things about women and throwing up, and girls yelling for attention and being obnoxiously drunk. Had we not had our 6 year old with us, I would have called the police because the hotel obviously didn’t care very much, they aren’t the ones who have to put up with it all night.
The staff, while polite enough, hardly spoke any English.

I called and spoke with someone on the phone to book the 2 rooms we needed. We stayed 3 nights. I requested a handicap room since my mother would be traveling with us. I also requested both rooms to be near each other. I wasn’t guaranteed the 2 rooms to be near each other so when we were given two consecutive room numbers I thought at least we would be across from each other, however, they were not near each other at all except for the wall that seperated them. One faced the pool side the other faced the parking lot. Since we arrived around 10:30 pm I was surprised to see a young teenage couple very close to our room outside all over each other making out! When my husband and I walked over to where our kids room was, once again there was an older couple sitting in one of the hallways. This company states in their office there are surveillance cameras. I don’t think it mattered to these people if they were on camera or not. I have to say this place was packed. We really considered going to another place to stay, but, the price kept us here on such a short notice to try to go somewhere else for a similar compatible price. My kids had homework to do and the only outlet that worked that they could charge their computer was the one at the sink. the carpets were dirty and old, there was dust and dirt on the edges of the carpet and on the tile edging in the bathrooms even the hair dryer had dirty dust on the chord. The second night a large bug, I thought it was a cockroach I wasn’t sure since I had only seen one once, was crawling on the wall and when I turned the light on it scurried to get away. That freaked me out! I was wondering if they were current on a visti from their pest control service. On the upsideThe beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean (except the tile edging). The breakfast was pretty good it was pretty much the same as others and they did have a waffe maker, the employee that was in the dining area was very helpful. The ladies that cleaned our room were friendly too. All the employees were nice. I don’t think I would stay here again. I have stayed in old places and in new places I expect cleanliness to be a major priority and I don’t believe it was for this company.

I would’ve looked pass all the mexican janitors who could not speak nor understand a simple English sentence and the dirty mini fridge, but the armies of ants and hugeass spiders were just wayyyy too much. Though the prices on the rooms were very fair, we still pay to be comfortable. Having to share our rooms with fat scary spiders and ants was just too much. Never staying here again.
