Super 8 by Wyndham Austin MN

Proprietor was not prompt to check me in but was very friendly and remembered my name. I could tell he wanted to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Explained after hours entry. Generally the facility appeared well maintained. Room was clean lacking only a comfortable sitting chair. A drawer knob was missing — should have been easy to replace. Close to the interstate highway.

Computer equipment to check in and to print a receipt later was too slow. Would have preferred direct entry/ access to room from parking lot. Breakfast was very average, so-so. Coffee was hot but not robust or strong. No creamers for the coffee. No hot food —everything was cold. Facility could have been closer to restaurants other than a McDonald’s.

That exterior looked a little rough but the rooms we quite nice and comfortable. It was right in the middle of all the running around we needed to do!

Even though I pre-booked (booking.com) and paid in advance, it took quite a long time to check in. Not sure what was going on.

Staff was very helpful

Continental breakfast only had bread and cookies. Would have been nice to have croissants available. Orange juice tasted weird but I'm glad it was there.

Breakfast was so-so. Nothing hot (except coffee). Virtually everything (petite muffins, rolls, yogurt cups, fruit cocktail) had high sugar content. Coffee was not robust. Disposal paper plates, cups, bowls. Plasticware. Location was convenient along Intertstate 90 and restaurants, service stations and shopping stores close by. Room location and amenities were satisfactory. Check in was fast. Quiet.

Proprietor could have made his presence more noticeable -- he was never at the front desk (nor was anyone else). There were house flies in the room, and I spent too much time swatting them (without a fly swatter). There were no facecloths. Bed was far too hard -- I got back aches from it. North wall of the room had paint scratched off from it -- unsightly. I thought the pricing of the room was a little high (for a discount motel), but I was there on a weekend.

Clean rooms and friendly staff; A/C worked excellent

No breakfast as advertised (some muffins and fruit cups provided but that’s it); very flat pillows

Breakfast was very small. No fruit. The little fidge was locked

Location

Smells like wet dog, mold where walls and ceiling meet, not very clean bathroom

Not much

Not a new toilet paper, TV worked poorly, breakfast was pathetic

Poor

Smelly room

Good location. Easy in-n-out.

Booking.com had information wrong about this motel. We booked here because it had smoking rooms available according to the site. When we got there, it was a non-smoking facility. We did not stay.
