Super 8 Chico

My boyfriend and I were passing through on our way to Portland from Arizona and every other place was booked full for the night — lack of planning on our part. We were a tad skeptical after reading a few of the reviews.
Over all the place was nice, checking in was a breeze and they offer a AAA Discount which was nice.
The rooms and facility were clean and other guest were quiet as well. The pool was nice, not a lot of people were there so that probably helped. They don’t allow alcohol in the pool area, but that contributes to making it more family friendly.
The location is in a hotel loop and right next to the freeway. For a quick one or two night stay you get what you pay for, I’m giving the three star rating simply for the fact that the pool could have been a bit cleaner the AC unit wasn’t the greatest – the rooms are pretty stuffy and some of the guests seriously smelled up the hallway with ganj.
But the place really wasn’t sketch town, it was just, okay.

Right on 99 easy to locate. I will repeat the admonition, try booking directly with them and they give AAA discounts. Good clean room, great bed. Hallways hot and stuffy, but room ok. Continental with make your own waffles. Breakfast room also hot. Good staff, accommodating. Well appointed rooms with big screen TV (46″).

Room was clean, linens were clean, but the rooms were stuffy and small. Desk clerk was very nice. Book directly with hotel as they have set their prices higher if you book with an online service. Only access to the three floors are cement stairs. Hallways were smelly and carpet was dirty. Our room was very quiet, beds were ok.

It’s a small step above motel 6, but note quite in the big leagues. But they had my reservation correct and hotel itself is a little dated. But rooms have flat screens and lots of channels. Beds and pillows are comfortable, room furniture in good shape inside a clean room. Great spot to stay if just for work. Bank and food just down street and right off freeway. I’d stay again and recommend.

If you’re in town overnight for business, this is a decent, clean place to stay. The décor is a little outdated (which might lend to the people saying it’s «dirty») and it does have a bit of that cigarette smell in the hallways, but the rooms are clean.
— My bed sheets were clean and I got a hot shower during peak morning water use hours.
— I had a flat screen TV, microwave, and mini-​fridge in my room.
— Nice folks working the front desk.
— Breakfast in the morning is hot/​cold cereal, cinnamon rolls, toast, coffee, juice… stuff you can eat quick/​take on the road. If you’re tired and don’t feel like discovering Chico (you’re missing out!), a variety of local restaurants will deliver to your room.
Cons: I stayed on the 2^nd floor and it sounded like a herd of elephants above my head most of the night. Ask if your room is on the «front» or «back» side of the motel. The front faces the fwy, the back faces Motel 6. The in-​room air conditioner blocks out a lot of noise (it’s a white noise machine in itself), but maybe bring a pair of earplugs just in case.

Gross. $ 80 Saturday night stay. I mistook it for the Best Western Motel down the street that I had stayed at last summer when I booked it. Queen beds were not exactly queen beds. They were a double at best. Staff was nothing to brag about but nothing to complain about either. Would have been nice if they asked how my stay was. Pillows were pretty comfortable. The refridgerator/​microwave made a buzzing noise all night but I needed my food to stay cool. The plugs only work when the lights are on, so if you need to charge your phone plan on sleeping with the light on or bring a car charger. The bathroom mat was disgusting and black stained. This was a step up from a crackhouse, but about 10 steps down from Best Western. It served its pupose for the lack of time I spent there for a 6 hour nap and a shower. Do not waste your life here.

This hotel is horribly dirty and disgusting. This was the last hotel in Chico where I could book a room for an out of town employee. He went to check in and the place was a filthy disaster!
The management told him I needed to cancel the room. So he left and told me this. I call and they tell me they never spoke to my employee, and were down right rude to me not to mention they lied about speaking to my employee.
The place is horrible and the people worse. DO NOT BOOK HERE!

This is a Motel 8. For $ 67/​night one gets:
*fridge
*microwave
*relaxing sleep environment
*big bed w/​clean sheets
*clean towels
*shampoo, soap
*free breakfast!
*pool
*an A/​C that WORKS!
*friendly staff
I recommend!

Compared to the Motel 6 next door (you can find my review of it for comparison), this place is heaven.
The AC stays on and goes on/​off with the temperature you’ve set. It is currently about 100°F outside. The bed is hard and the pillows are terrible but this is to be expected from anything but a 5 star hotel — simply put I brought my own pillows.
There is a mini fridge in here with a microwave and a very nicely sized bathroom. The toilet paper feels like you’re wiping your ass with a paper bag so if that bothers you you might want to bring your own roll.
The only gripe I’ve got is that there is an odd smell permeating the hallways that may just be smoker’s smoke drifting in through windows or the smell of them walking through the hotel after smoking. Not Super 8’s fault but it doesn’t really bother me but I’d imagine if you have asthma or are a self-​righteous prick it might. And the people offering 1 star reviews have some serious issues with understanding that you’re not paying for the Hyatt or the Holiday Inn next door. You’re not paying $ 60 a night for 5 star service with free wine and your own butler.
Best of all the WiFi is 100% free and does not seem to be filtered or restricted though it can be difficult to establish and keep a connection at times.

First of all this is a Super 8, not the Hyatt. For a cheap hotel it’s clean, the bed was comfortable and everything worked well. The people at the desk were helpful. The breakfast was not my style, so we just had the coffee which wasn’t actually to bad. For those who want it the breakfast was cereal and pre packaged bagels and muffins. For $ 64 and a king bed. Also from a review back in 2008, I am yet to receive any kind of spam calls/​txts.

I chose to stay here simply because of the reviews and location being close to my new job in Chico. Plus, the affordable price was a big selling point. I must say it is one the same Manzanita Court as the Holiday Inn where you will pay about ¹⁄₃ higher for rooms. The location is easy to find and seems pretty safe. The front desk person stated that their parking lot has camera and has not had any issues with cars being broken into.
The pros for this place were:
— It was cheap and easy to find,
— Check-​in/​check-​out was fast
— Bed was reasonably comfortable
— The channel selections were plentiful
— The free internet was fast
— The breakfast was a nice spread of begals, fruit, muffins, cereal, coffee, milk, and Sunny D (I feel this place need to invest in real OJ). It is served from 6:30AM-9:30AM.
— The toiletries were nice and towels were pretty new.
— The whole place was very quiet, so it was very easy to get rest.
— The room has an iron with board, a microwave, a fridge, hangers, alarm clock/​radio, coffee maker, and plenty of storage in the dresser
— The AC worked well, I never tried the heater
The bad:
— Sunny D instead of real OJ
— I was on the 3^rd floor and had to use the stairs. I didn’t mind expect for when I had to carry my bags up after check-​in. An elevator would be nice.

Was a decent place. Stayed there many times on the way from this place to that place. But now? Fuck these assholes. They’re spamming me on my cell phone after I stayed there. SCREW THEM.

Super 8 — a super shit hole? Check. When booking the mow tell, I thought I had upgraded from a one-​star to a swanky two-​star suite. Ahhh, but Travelocity royally screwed me. I guess we give up some of life’s luxuries, like shower drains that actually work, when we enter hell.
Pricewise, you can’t beat $ 62 for a weeknight stay. Super 8 provides you with all your basic survival needs. Shampoo, a bed, sheets, lights, a hair dryer and television. So if you’re ever going to backpack through Chico, Super 8 is a surefire choice for you.
