Super 8 by Wyndham DeKalb IL

Muy buen servicio limpio y excelente

The parking lot was very icy and not shoveled or salted at all. The floors in the hotel room were very old and made hollow banging sounds when we walked or even turned in bed.

Our room did not feel clean. There was long black hair and crumbles of dirt in our sink.

The room was nicer than expected. The pool is small but a nice temp. The front desk was mostly unattended or partially attended.

It was a no thrills hotel like they say breakfast with mini donuts and bagels and Too cereal. And you could hear everybody talking in the halls little expensive for what you got.

Was NOT allowed to check in with our pet (cat) even though the website and sign on door said pets allowed. Front desk was rude and refused to print a cancelation and proof I was not going to be charged. I had to demand a cancelation. It was ridiculous

Don’t go there, especially if you’re a woman traveling alone or a woman with her children. Allow me to list what I found objectionable: 1) they list themselves as pet friendly. Nowhere does it say there will be a $15 charge when you show up to check in, as if you’ve got an option at that point 2) they demanded my for a credit card on arrival and immediately charged me $100 that would be refundable if they didn’t smell smoke of tobacco or other things in our room. I don’t know these people and I’m supposed to trust them to tell the truth about my room and contest a charge from out of state? 3) the room was musty and carpet damp from window air conditioning and no dehumidifier 4) the holes patched in the bathroom wall look like they were done by a child with no paint applied to camouflage the lumpy application 5) the ceiling fan in the bathroom which came on automatically when you turned on the light is on its last legs and rattles loudly 5)) there was a suspicious red blotch on the bathroom wall behind the door 6) there is a gate down at the reception desk with a plastic sheet behind it which is both inhospitable, difficult to communicate through and is downright ugly. 7) we booked a double and we’re given only one card key—one! 8) television experience was poor. I hope I’ve made it clear that this was an extremely BAD experience

It was weird to check in with the security gate down across the front counter. The carpets are old and need replaced. The room smelled funky, and the AC unit was old. It worked, but it was either on full blast or off. The exterior door at the far end of the building was supposed to be locked after 10pm, but the door was unlocked when we returned around midnight. Super 8 is usually my go-to hotel on trips, but this location was disappointing.

Close to the University and not as expensive as some others in the area
