Upon reading some of the old negative reviews on this page, I feel it very necessary for me to write about my experience on 07/14/18.
I wanted to visit some of my family in Kentucky and didn't want to spend a fortune on a hotel, so Super 8 seemed like a good economical choice. We reserved a king bed room nonsmoking for 1 night. After tax it totaled $75.90. Not bad at all, in my opinion.
(NOTE: This hotel does not have an elevator, but there are handicap rooms available.)
Our room was on the 2nd floor right by the stairs, room 224. I didn't mind not having an elevator because we had just eaten a large amount of food at the Old China Buffet and needed to burn some calories anyway (haha). The staircase was much wider than a standard staircase, with plenty of room for guests to come and go without bumping into one another, so that was nice.
The room itself looked like it had recently been renovated. The decor was nice and simple, with a modern feel. The bedding was bright white with a decorative coverlet and looked very clean. The bathroom was super clean and newer looking as well.
I worked in the hotel industry for 4-5 years, so I always look for signs of bedbugs and other insects before spending the night anywhere. I checked the room over and couldn't find signs of bugs or droppings of any sort. The mattress was in a secure cover underneath the sheets, so I feel like this hotel is making a conscious effort to prevent any type of infestation from critters that people might carry in with them. (See my photos for a pic of mattress cover) It was stated in a previous review from a few years ago that they had bedbugs in at least one room. In my experience, I believe that they got rid of them. Kudos to this hotel for taking control of it before it got out of hand.
We had a very comfortable stay and will stay here again. read more
