Super 8 Stamford/New York City Area

I had the worst experience at a super 8 hotel in Stamford, CT. First of all I was unfortunate to meet the worst front desk person ever. Middle aged man with no manners, rude, no greetings, no customer service. .I was charged $ 114 for the night which really deserve 50 bucks. Between the smell of cigarettes from the elevator all the way to the room, (which was supposed to be a non smoking room) and the stained sheets and pillow cases, I couldn’t spent the night. I left after a few hours only to find out that the guy overcharged my debit card. Not only I wasn’t informed of an extra 10% incidental fee, when I called the hotel, I was told that the extra 10% will be back to my card in 3 – 5 business days.(the money was taken from my account immediately). I can’t believe they’re charging people more than $ 50 – 60 for a room in this dump. Never again!

I’ve stayed in worse hotels, BUT! Tired paint & décor, lumpy bed. Reasonably quiet. FRIENDLY staff! Christine at front desk was very nice especially.

This place is a dump and I’ve stayed in cheap (no frills) motels before, without complaint. I cannot believe this place has not been raided by Super 8 corporate (or the police for that matter). The only reason we stayed here is because our car broke down that morning, and this is where our taxi driver recommended (god knows why) for an inexpensive option. I guess I should have qualified, not filthy, sketchy, etc. I did not feel comfortable having my wife and 4 year old stay in such a place.
As soon as you walk in just beyond the main lobby you are met with the REEK of stale cigarette smoke. The floors are dirty and the entire place place is dingy. Once you get in your room you will not be disappointed as the theme of stink and grime continues.
Where do I start? The TV remote was filthy, the bedside table had the previous occupant’s random brochure with handwritten notes, the bathroom sink did NOT look clean, the phone didn’t work nor did the safe (but we got charged a $ 1 safe use charge, nonetheless).
I was certain we were going to get bed bugs, but thankfully no one woke with bites, nor did I see any evidence of their presence. Frankly I think we were just lucky.
When we met the next day with the mechanic we mentioned where we stayed. He looked shocked that our taxi driver brought us there and informed us that the motel houses a prostitution ring. Upon hearing that I put two and two together and the unsavory types I saw just hanging out in the parking lot and lobby, made sense. Apparently this operation is well known. Talk about a strike against Super 8 not to mention Stamford Connecticut.
A shower upon returning home has never been more welcome. AVOID the not-​so-​Super 8 in Stamford!

Stopped here on the tail end of an 18 hour drive from SC and left immediately. Whole hotel smelled of cigarette smoke, even our non-​smoking room. Dirty laundry on the hallway floor, flies in our bathroom, bathroom door VERY loud and wouldn’t close all the way, big balls of human hair in the bed, trash in the elevator. Hotel staff refused to give us a refund, and charged us $ 112 saying it was a better rate than our AAA discount would provide. Called credit card company right away to dispute the charge.

I took two rooms on two different floors. The locks to the rooms don’t work the refrigerators are broken the entire hotel smells like weed and there are at least 5 rooms with prostitutes. We found hair in the clean beds and a nasal strip on the headboard. this place should be closed by the Health Department the police department and anybody that has authority. I cannot stress enough go to any other hotel.

Wouldn’t recommend to stay for more than one night. Very sketchy area and the staff was very rude. It was decent priced, right off the highway, and had continental breakfast. Good to just stay one night on the way to your destination.

In all honesty, this hotel is worth 1 star, but I gave it the extra star for the cheap price and the newish mattresses. But other than that, the hotel was at best sucky.
To start off, the front desk worker wasn’t even at the desk. He was curled up, all nice and cozy in a chair in the setting area. I thought he was a guest; but no, he was «working.»
Another thing is the elevator. Dear Lord, be with everyone who takes that death trap. The entire way up it creaked and whined and moaned and groaned. It also smelled like someone had chain smoked in it for days on end. Oxygen was low. Smokey smell was high.
The room itself was decent, but, guess what, it also smelled strongly of smoke. We emptied half a can of Lysol on this room. To top it off, there were a surprising lack of plug ins.
Also, just to help me sleep at night, there was a dirty soup can lid, YES A SOUP CAN LID, on the bottom shelf of the nightstand.
Overall, it sucked. I didn’t sleep well (the pillow felt like nothing at all) and I won’t be back.
But hey, if you need a place to stay, go for it. Just invest in a can of Lysol and some pillows and don’t forget, take the stairs!

I booked this hotel during a road trip and it was the worst motel I’ve ever stayed– hands down. Even the construction worker staying in the next room agreed. The first room we were assigned was disgusting– bed messed up, safe open… weird. Our second room smelled so strongly of weed it was overwhelming. The employees don’t go far out of their way to do any work– I had to search for the employee to check out because he was helping himself to the free breakfast.

So I work in marketing as my main job, and I am building a network in the Stamford /​Fairfield County area in CT from the ground up and my work put me up here DESPITE me putting in for a room at The Hilton like I normally get. For whatever reason, they decided to cut corners this week… Fine… How bad can it be?
Not terrible, actually. It is certainly not a desirable place to stay for more than a night, but it could be a lot worse I suppose.
I checked in Monday morning and dropped my stuff off before getting a start on the day. The staff was and remains to be a bit rude any time I approach them (ie I needed a fridge since I will be here for a week, expecting a FedEx package, etc) and seem to have some kind of allergy to multitasking. Whatever, not the end of the world.
The room is a bit small, the TV is some off-​brand but it works and there is a decent amount of channels (however I do not watch TV.) It is kept clean.
The only complaints I have, other than the rude staff whom obviously do not care much for being in hospitality or have forgotten the meaning, is that it is now almost the third day and I STILL do not have a fridge or microwave. The «business center» is literally two archaic PC’s that run super slow, have super strict privileges set on them so most websites are not able to be displayed; I brought my laptop, and there is somewhat-​reliable wifi, so not too much of an issue here except that I needed to print something and they were having problems with their equipment malfunctioning for about an hour until I said «forget it» in a semi-​nice way and went to the Staples that was on the way to my destination since I had to get to work and did not have time to watch them try to fix these machines by assaulting these dinosaurs with a club and some harsh words.
One thing I have a major issue with is that the website advertises a free shuttle to downtown Stamford, CT area which is no longer true and has not been for quite some time. If you come here, just be aware that you will have to either a) walk 20 – 25 minutes to downtown (which I am used to, living in NYC), b) take a taxi or c) drive (although in a town with not much to do but drink at the local pubs, who wants to drive!?)
It is literally right next to the freeway on-​ramp, so the location is alright. There is a free continental breakfast in the morning, which consists of: Eggo Waffles, coffee, orange /​apple juice, milk, cereal (Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes or Cheerios), kinda-​stale bagels and pre-​packaged pastries. Not the best breakfast I’ve had at hotels, but not the worst either, I guess.
All in all, if you need a somewhat cheap place to stay (I think my company paid only 80 $/​night) for a night or two MAX then this place wont be terrible for you. A solid 2.5 — 3.0 stars out of 5.0.

Pickings in Stamford are slim. This motel seems to get a rough clientele and the owners put up with it. Evidently if you ask the hotel across the way (Hampton Inn?) they can get you a comparable rate.
The bedbug picture made me paranoid all night, but I didn’t experience any of those buggers.

We had a horrible experience at this hotel.
We asked the hotel for a morning wake-​up call: they did not call
The alarm clock did not work.
The tv did not work, and emitted a loud hum so we just unplugged it.
The room was old and dirty.
The next morning I told the hotel employee that we did not receive a wake-​up call and his response? «I don’t care. Why would I say I was sorry if I don’t care?» He threw his hands up belligerent at us, and we just left.
We rushed to our meeting, late; and hours later we saw that he checked out the wrong person, and charged them incorrectly for 5 days, in the future. It was insane.
We had to go all the way back, and fortunately we talked to a nice manager Ravi, who was very apologetic. But he did not offer us a discount, even though we had such a horrible experience. He also wasn’t very interested that their tv didn’t work.
Think about this — these employees have access to your credit card info.
Do NOT use this hotel.
Check out their horrible reviews on other sites — it is pretty insane.

Bed bugs !!! I went here for 2 nights but after 1 I had to leave immediately. It is 2am while I am writing this review. I am just packing up and get out of here. Wrrrrr!!! Hate it! I will take it as a lesson and never stay in hotels cheaper than $ 120/​night.
