It was a Friday before a big spring break week, we thought we would find a hotel on our way to Florida and just stop wherever we got tired. After passing Atlanta there were NO Marriots, Hilton, or even IHG properties until Ocala, FL. We were in a bind. After calling every hotel in the area we found availability at this super 8, although you had to book via a third party or in person. It was now past 11pm, and with a 4 and 6 year old, we decided we would just go and pay, it's just a place to stopover and sleep. After paying I went to the room, kids still waiting in the van, on the way to the room the smell of cigarette smoke filled the nonsmoking hall. There were people lined up in the hallways on their cell phones, sitting on the floor, very bizarre and I did not feel safe. After entering the room and seeing the comforter covered in stains and the table had a sticky substance on it, I couldn't bring myself to stay here, I never even looked in the bathroom. I immediately turned around and went back to the lobby in tears. AJ was kind enough to advise he will provide a refund, thank you so much. We ended up driving all the way to Ocala, Florida that night, arrived after 3am. My suggestion to others is, you get what you pay for, I should have known for $91 what I was getting, but I learned my lesson and will not make that mistake again. I will book Marriott before I leave home, and pay the extra $100-$200 to get a safe, clean room. But I do appreciate AJ providing the refund.
