Super 8 St. Petersburg / Clearwater Int Airport

ROACHES!!! Do not stay here!!! DIRTY!!! Rooms filled with cock roaches! Little ones that run everywhere at night!!!

The reviews are accurate… stay the fuck away from this place! Stains everywhere… someone said it smelled like dirty hot dog water in here. I laughed so hard I cried reading the review on this horrible mattress. So thin and I feel every spring. Dogs barking down the hall on the 2^nd floor. The guy at the desk was nice but the workers are creepy… they give you really strange smiles and looks. Doesn’t feel safe, and certainly isn’t clean.
I can tell you one thing, I’m not getting under the covers because I’m fairly confident in a hotel this dirty and dingy, this bed is probably rife with bedbugs. Hands down the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Probably not using the shower in the morning due to the large, red stains on the shower curtain. Can’t tell if it’s blood, food or vomit.
Do yourself a favor and sleep in your car…

Well over all this place was not a bad place, it does need some updating, but over all it was not that bad. I would stay here again.

Chances are you just flew into St. Petersburg/​Clearwater and you haven’t thought of a place to stay yet — this is your affordable option. It’s definitely not flashy like The Don Cesar; however, it gets the job done if what you’re looking for is a place to crash. The previous reviews of this place are terrifying describing roach infestations and large, nasty stains on the bed — I can only hope in the 8 months since they’d been posted and the addition of all the construction around that these problems have been fixed, but after noticing the bathroom hadn’t been kept up and the volume on my television was restricted to a blatantly low level, this place seems like someone bought it to make a quick buck instead of a nice, local lodge offering reasonable prices to visitors for a room. To be fair, the staff are all very friendly and helpful and your price for your room won’t be out of control expensive — this may just be a case of you get what you pay for.

If I could rate this lower, I would. At first glance this place did not look so bad, but the second we stepped into the building I realized what a mistake we had made. Upon walking in we were greeted by the stench of what I could only describe as week old hotdog water. The immediate urge to gag and puke was quickly put on hold as we talked to the miserable desk girl who barely managed to get us settled into our room.
The ride up to the third floor was one filled with disappointment. The elevator doors opened to a messy hallway, half of which was crudely covered off with a black trash bag. The scene reminded me of an episode of csi, yellow tape and all.
The room however proved to be the real crime scene… upon entering any room I usually check the beds for any bugs, dirty sheets, etc, what I found however made my stomach turn. A big red, bloody spot on the bed. It looked as if someone had been stabbed on the bed. I turned the mattress over out of curiosity only to find a bigger spot on the other side. I was so tired that night, I decided not to fight it since it was cheap and short notice and I just slept on the couch. The next morning I made sure to point it out, but the response I received was more dismissive than anything.
I can understand this was not a 5 star hotel, however I don’t think anyone should be subjected to those conditions. Super 8 failed to meet even the simplest of expectations.

Absolutely disgusting. Within the first 5 minutes of putting our stuff down, we ran into the resident pets… some lovely German cockroaches.
That aside, there is grime everywhere. Everywhere. I’m actually scared to sleep here, but have no choice because everything else in our price range is booked. I may sleep in the car. No fucking kidding.

bad bad bad roaches bed bugs shit all over the place i do not recommend this place at all please for the love of god do not stay here. they ahould not be getting not one atart at all !!!

Rooms are clean, bathrooms clean. Free breakfast & wifi, though wifi can be spotty at times. Beds are comfortable enough, no issues there. There’s a Bob Evans restaurant, McDonald’s, Chick-​Fil-​A, & Five Guys burger within walking distance with a Rally convenience store right across the parking lot. Overall it’s an older property that needs updating but it’s clean & affordable.

This is surprisingly a pretty decent hotel. The staff are super nice and friendly. We had a large group staying here with different arrival and departure dates and lots of room changes — and they were awesome at accommodating us.
The rooms are all slightly different. Some of pretty substantial in size. Others feel a tad cramped. Overall, it’s all pretty ok. My biggest complaint was the super uncomfy, hard as rocks pillows. I had to make a Target run to buy one it was so bad.
There’s free wifi, free breakfast, etc.
If you’re in the area, you should feel a-​ok staying here.

A friend prepaid for our room, or at least thought he did. Apparently they secure your reservation with a credit card but don’t actually charge it… Well, I’m not sure but I arrived and they asked for a credit card. We asked why and they said we had to pay. Well, communication, either from a corporate level or branch level, seems to be lacking. Our friend had to come up to the office, actually pay (which he thought he already did) and It seemed to be all solved. While we waited for our friend the clerk allowed us to go ahead to our room and relax.
Well, a few hours later we were out to dinner and the clerk called us saying our friend never showed up to pay. Ummmm… Before bothering your guests please check with your co-​workers. Anyhow!, mistakes happen and they were friendly none-​the-​less.
The room? Standard, budget room. Seems clean, could use a paint job and upgrade on minor features. But really, how much time are you spending in the room? It was a bit far from the beach and yummy restaurants but whatever… We’re on vacation and not in a rush.
Overall, a few unexpected and unusual hiccoughs, but a rooms a room and I can rest myself up before the next exciting day.
