Rooms smell like smoke. That’s the first thing you notice. Sheets and linens are clean however. Which is nice. The bathroom is definitely beat up. The tub/shower surround has lots of damage and stains. I wore shower shoes as it was a little too gross for my liking. All in all, it’s livable. It didn’t feel too dirty to sleep there or anything. It’s just a little run down and the smoke smell is a bit strong for a hotel that’s no smoking.

This hotel is fine. It’s clean enough. I would say it’s just above the level where I’d refuse to stay here. The linens are clean. However the rooms smell very bad like smoke even though it’s all non-smoking. So clearly many visitors still smoke here. The bath tub has a lot of brown/black stains and so I wore sandals in there. It’s just a bit run down and the smoke smell is strong but other than that, it’s clean enough where it matters like the sheets/pillows. It’s livable.

Although the motel was less than perfect, our room was clean and well prepared. The grounds appearance could be improved with some easy janitorial efforts. Staff was just ok . Breakfast lacked hot variety. The basics are there, the extra effort is lacking.

The room was clean. The heater smelled like dead mice. The breakfast was very scarce- only waffles, 2 types of cereal, one type of yogurt, one type of muffin, white bread; and the same thing every day. The owners lite off fireworks on the 4th until midnight outside the building so nobody got any sleep; horrible for my children!!!! Staff was friendly though and no issues with the room. Beds are pretty firm.

It was more like a Motel.....which was great. You don't see many of those around anymore. It was connected to the Commander Bar And Grill which also was fun. The food is very good!! Close to Pelican Beach.....great lake. Sandy beaches, shallow and noooo weeds😁. It was a pretty good find, everything else was booked in the surrounding area and this popped up on hotels.com. The rooms are older but clean and quiet. I mean you would never know you were connected to a bar or even had a room with people in it next to you....very quiet!

I travel a lot, and this was the dumpiest hotel I’ve stayed in by far. The common areas were shabby. Our bathroom door didn’t close and the shower didn’t work. It’s hard to rate the cleanliness because of how decrepit the walls and floor were.
The breakfast consisted of waffles, muffins, yogurt, bananas and juice.
Usually there was no one at the front desk.
I will never use this hotel again.

Room was dark and dirty. Very in need of an update. Staff was good. Hotel had constant marijuana smell and was run down. Nice location and glad the price wasn’t more than $75 a night.

First thing I noticed was Expedia over rated the property resulting in booking a property I regretted.
The entry area to the room needed cleaning and maintenance. We opened the door to the room, the window was open and air conditioner was running set at 65. There was a bad smell in the room so it appeared they were trying to air out the room. We had to leave to see family. I received a email from Super 8 asking if there was anything they could help with. I responded with the smell in the room. Never got a response.
We got back to the hotel after 8:00. I went right to where we checked in and told the gal about the room. I asked her to go smell the room. She said she was the only one there and couldn’t leave. I asked for another room. She said she there wasn’t another room available.
She said she would let her manager know.
I went back to the room and now noticed how dirty and beat up the room was.
Dust on every flat surface except counter height. Split dirty moulding in the bathroom. Drain plug pulled out. Stained tub and shower curtain. Dusty light fixtures. Smoke detector missing.
Minimal breakfast. We got up early and left. No one at the counter when I dropped off keys.
Does Expedia look at prperties????

The property looks great from the outside but leaves a lot to be desired on the inside. The inside of the hotel smells musty and dirty. This used to be a nice property and well worth the price but current management has done nothing to keep the property fresh and appealing. There are marks and holes in the walls and carpets looked old and worn. This place in in need of a lot of love.

The carpet however smelled moldy and was very damp. We went to the store to get an air freshener. I walked around my room in my bare feet and they were black on the bottom. I’m pretty sure the moldy carpet made my allergies go crazy. I was all plugged up the entire stay.

Breakfast is serviceable but lets face it, there's plenty of places in Brainerd-Baxter that have amazing breakfasts so we usually only have the coffee ~ See ya' next year S-8...

My mind is blown. We spent just about $200 ($188) for one night for a room that had AC that smelled like burnt hair and a lock that was literally off the hinges.

I will only relate my one experiences but I’ve only stayed in a room once like that and it was about $70 in a bad suburb of Kansas City. Not an up north MN town where people vacation. This was the worst room I’ve ever had for $200 a night? We took pictures of the lock.

C-at best

Good: The check in staff was great. She was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with.

Bad: Normally I don’t stay at super 8 because they are not good but this place had very high ratings, surprisingly. So I thought I’d give it a chance. But I don’t know what people are comparing it to because I’d give it a C- at best overall.

Stains on sheets.
Was very loud in several rooms earlier in evening.
Sink drain barely drained.
Entrance and halls in rough shape.
Hairs in washcloths.

How people could rate it 5 stars on cleanliness, etc. and give this a rating of >8 out of 10 on the hotels app is crazy to me.

At least it was fairly quiet through the night.

Back to my original assessment of the hotel chain, won’t stay at super 8 again.
