Super 8 Boone

Booking last minute and with a pet, I was thankful to find the Super 8 would accommodate us. We checked in late with an overwhelmed but very sweet girl. She was rushing past us as we entered but paused and checked us in so we could get to our room without a wait.
The staff was excellent, but everything else fell very short of my already low expectations.
As my boyfriend checked in, I ran to use the downstairs restroom, as we were getting in from a long road trip. Both of the toilets in the women’s restroom were overflowing, which I realized only after stepping into the mess of urine, water, and excrement on the floor. Nice.
Second, the room we were given had a window, that looked out onto the breakfast dining area! Inside! Why put a window in if it looks to the inside? The AC/​heat until did not work. I tried to call down to the front desk to see if we could switch rooms, but the phone didn’t work. I tried to call from my cell phone but I didn’t get any service from our interior room. There was a sink above a cabinet in the room next to the bed. It leaked, nosily dripping all night long.
Around 2am we were woken up by what sounded like 10 teenagers in the hall. They were loud and boisterous for almost 30minutes, but without a working phone I was unable to call down to the front desk…
Had I paid $ 50 or less, fine. But for $ 130/​night plus a pet fee, I was extremely dissatisfied.

Don’t be fooled by the decent lobby. Looks like this could have been a top rated hotel at one time. Check-​in desk area is large and clean with the breakfast area down a couple steps by the decorated for Christmas mantle over the nice fireplace that did not have a fire going. By the looks of it they don’t use it anymore even when the weather calls for a nice roaring fire. The indoor pool is just off the lobby and was filled with many families. But now we get to the bad part. The rooms. The carpeting is just down right nasty, the chairs, I don’t even want to hang my clothes on. Top comforter looks like its about 20 years old and the tub? wouldn’t wash the dog in it. Hole in the side panel and the floor is permanently stained black. at least the sheets and pillows seem newer and the a/​c is working. Fridge works, there’s a microwave but not a recharge station for the techy things, the tv is a 20″ old model. I know it was last minute but $ 109? I think not again. With the certain cliental hanging in the lobby and hallways, I’d say its a place the construction people stay. There is a continental breakfast but no hot food. The room also advertised queen beds (no king available at booking) but Ihink ther more on the full size.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAY HERE unless you are a smoker and positively cannot afford to stay anywhere else. Patrick H. is pretty accurate. The building looks OK from the outside. The girl at the desk was very nice. But do not be deceived! Believe this review I spent time writing this for you.
Our non-​smoking room reeked of smoke. They had turned the air conditioning down to 62° in order to try and mask the smoke. We changed rooms and the second non-​smoking room also reeked of smoke. The beds were sagging. The carpet was dirty. We left without staying. I cannot believe there is anybody that ever stays here!
Girl at the front desk explained without physical evidence a guest was smoking in a non-​smoking room there’s nothing they can do. I remember the girls name but do not want to post it here. She also told us they had 90 rooms and two maids cleaning. You can do the math on how much time they can spend on a room. Our room was not ready until 7:30 that night.
We were nice but could not stay there. She was nice and I felt sorry for her having to work there.
While we were there another family at the front desk was moving rooms because «the smell“l was irritating grandmother’s allergies. Actually they were moving back to their first room because it irritated grandma’s allergies less than the second room they tried.
There are limited reviews so the crazy 5 star review skews the average and you should just flat-​out ignore that one.
And come on really, no disrespect but the 4 star reviews include quotes:
«there was a little mold in the corners of the bathroom but I expected that now»
«I asked them about where to go get boozed up for the night and they gave me many options»
«The coffee machine had some left over coffee in it so I had to give it a good rinse before I decided to use it»
These are 4 star reviews!
Do not even think about staying here!

We booked a non smoking room. Upon arrival we were told only smoking was available. Everything in the area was booked so we were stuck with sleeping an ashtray. The lady who checked us in offered us a late check out for sunday to try and smooth things over. We later heard her get yelled at for doing so and she came to us to inform us she would not be able to honor the late checkout. This should have been a manager’s job, not hers. The room was also severely outdated, The coverlet had a red stain, the shower had old soap on the wall. I will not be staying at another super 8 ever.

NOT a very clean hotel. Floors were dirty in halls and carpets stained in room. Bathtub was dirty. Smoked filled halls and cigarette smoke creeped into room all night. Room smelled like dirty pets. Housecleaning started at 8:30 am and walked in and knocked again at 10am.

We booked through Priceline, and we paid $ 60/​night. I was worried what we would get for that, but it was way more than I expected! Clean rooms… nothing fancy, but we weren’t expecting much. Great, continental breakfast. Indoor (small) pool. I’d stay here again to save money in a pinch! I’m giving it 5 stars based on the fact that we had no problems!

I paid $ 80 for a one night stay from Friday to Saturday since we were visiting sugar mountain near by. The staff was really nice and they had a fantastic continental breakfast, you could even make your own waffles. The rooms were alright, nothing too special. The blankets weren’t all that soft but all we needed was a bed to sleep in and a shower, both were in good clean condition. The coffee machine had some left over coffee in it so I had to give it a good rinse before I decided to use it. They didn’t offer tea or hot chocolate in the room, and we had only two towels for my boyfriend and I. However, we easily went downstairs and they accommodated our requests. Check out was a breeze, and there were no hidden fees of any kind.

We waited too long to get our room for homecoming so we got what we expected. NOTHING!
Where to begin. 1. We checked in and went around back to go to our room, when we opened the door there was a heavy smell of cigarettes and anole couch. As we turned the corner the smell turned into something horrible, mold, wet carpet, stale, old ruined material. It was so bad that we covered our noses and entered our room. It followed us!
2. The room was not terrible, not great. The mattresses were queen size on double bed frames, nice huh! The towels were not much to dry with and nothing was very clean. The window had greasy prints all over the glass.
3. The next day we left and returned around 5pm to find the do not disturb sign on our door. Opened the door, we had 3 new towels for 4 of us and that was it. Beds unmade, nothing cleaned. We told front desk and they were «shocked» and advised to not leave do not disturb on door. Haha, we just said we need more towels and left it at that.
4. The following day we did get full service with extra hair products just laying around on the sink. And again we needed more towels.
5. Still dealing with a permeating smell in the hallway. Maid was sent spraying febreeze! Haha!
The last night we were there we were told a few of the 2^nd floor rooms had flooded hence the smell. No sorry, no refund, no nothing.
Do not stay here, do not stay here, do not stay here!

The outside of the building is well kept and the staff friendly. Sadly, that’s about it for positives. Upon entering the room, there was an overpowering odor of cigarettes and mold. I left the window open for several hours while I attended the app state game, but to no avail. The room flat out smelled terrible.
The room was furnished with old mismatched furniture. One of the drawers to the dresser was missing. The toilet did not function properly, only draining some of the bowl and filling it back up with a trickle of water.
I know the saying you get what you pay for, but I’ve stayed in MUCH better hotels for less then this. On the flip side if you’re a chain smoker and or want bring your seven dogs and a cat to the hotel with you, this is the place.
Stay elsewhere when in Boone.

This isn’t your typical Super 8 motel.
First of all, its not really a motel, since they’re an interior of the building and you have to go inside to get to your room.
Also, the place is well kept. There was a little mold in the corners of the bathroom, but I kind of expect that now.
The staff was mad friendly. I asked them about where to go get boozed up for the night and gave me many options. One of them even met me at one of the bars later on that night.
Finally, this was the best place to stay in my price range in Boone. I was hoping to camp out but the weather didn’t make that an option.
