Super 8 West Monroe

A dive, typical motel eight bathroom dirty fixtures broken lights not working you know same old stuff.

Had to go to Monroe for a funeral last week so I was not looking for anyplace fancy to stay and that is exactly what I got. All in all it was about what I expected. It was fairly clean and everything worked. Had a quick breakfast (free) on the way out. Very reasonable price for a quick, unexpected stay.

Typical clean Super 8 Motel; no unpleasant surprises. A step up from the nearby Motel 6 and America’s Best Value Inn, and roomier. Adjacent to a really good Mexican restaurant and close to Wal-​Mart and Waffle House. Good complementary WiFi.

I’d give it no stars if I could. Where do I start??? The complete and unbelievable unprofessionalism of the desk staff upon check-​in? The knock you back, awful odor of the room? The incredibly loud, sleepless 2 nights? (Which would have been 3 had we not stayed in Dallas the night before due to plane probs) The fact that I could see daylight through the closed door? The cock roaches outside the rooms that were big enough to slap a saddle on? The twerking tranny’s in the stairwell and then upon mentioning said «entertainment» to the night desk clerk inquiring if this was a rent by the hour type of place that we should worry more about and perhaps cut our financial losses and pack it up and in return her complete inability to pick up what we were putting down? We weren’t talking about car parts, dear. Let me just say, this was my first and more than likely last visit to the south and if I had to judge the entire trip on this motel, I’d move to Canada and denounce my American citizenship. Where I come from none of this would fly, yet it seemed as though my travel companion and I were the only ones bothered by any of it. Sad, because everyone else in the town was so kind.
