What guests think

At Super 8 by Wyndham Baltimore/Essex Area, reviews describe a very mixed stay: consistently friendly, welcoming staff contrast with frequent reports of pests, smoke odors, dated rooms with maintenance problems, nighttime noise and safety concerns, and a very limited breakfast.

Some guests reported clean, quiet rooms, comfortable beds, and reliably hot, high-pressure showers. The location is convenient for reaching Baltimore and Rocky Point, though several reviewers felt the surrounding area was rough with few walkable dining options. Overall, expect basic accommodations with highly variable quality.

I pretty sure it's a motel not a hotel, pretty run down, no phone to even call the front desk. Only one towel in the room for a family of 4 and we asked for more they would only give us one more. The breakfast is a joke, the fight in the hallway between 3-4am didn't leave us feeling very safe. Find another place to stay

Was moved three times to three different rooms. First room the light, tv and mini fridge didn't work. Second room was dirty, one of the light didn't work. There was a hole in bathroom door. Shower know kept falling off. Third room was dirty as well. The tv did not work at all and the knob for the shower kept falling off. The guest washer and dryer was broke. There were fights inside the hotel the went on all night long. The employees did nothing about the fighting. There were people in parking lot right outside front door selling drugs. We will never stay here again!

Worst motel EVER! First the good...the staff was very nice and in fact I dropped my Kindle in the parking lot the night I arrived and they found it and returned it the next morning. And now the rest of the story..Upon arrival the clerks were outside on their phones. One was just at the door and I asked if everything was okay and she said they might have to call the cops. When I entered my room I went straight to the bathroom and found a roach and hair on the floor. I (only) saw the one roach and never saw him again. I was provided with a total of two towels. No washcloth, no hand towel, no bath mat. They are lucky I did not fall getting out of the shower. I was very careful on the slippery floor. The refrigerator did not work nor the remote for the TV. My room was close to lobby and there were loud voices until after 1 am. At 7 am doors began slamming repeatedly until I got up to turn the TV on to help drown out the noise and get some more sleep. I booked for two nights but checked out after one. No way was I staying another night.

Not a bad place to stop for a nights sleep. Not many amenities. A microwave. You can tell that they are trying. Unfortunately the price is a little higher than you would expect. For a few more dollors and a little more distance you can find a higher end hotel with many more amenities. That said, it was convenient for my over night need. Friendly staff.

I wouldn't recommend this place to nobody. The room was very awful; dirty towels, dirty linens, roaches in the bathroom, leakages from the fridge which flooded the room, floors very dirty, leftover food from previous guest in the microwave and it had the room smelling terrible. Thank God i was there for only a night. Nothing more. Management needs to do better.

The room had a dead cocroach on the ground in the middle of the room. The room looked like it was under construction with a huge picture ripped off the drywall and leaning against wall with painets tape wrapped around it. The av unit was ripped apart. And the room smelled heavy of stail smoke. Bed and pillows were stinky and stiff and the bathtub leaked.

Room was very clean and comfy. Staff was great. Location was great for an event at Rocky Point. One issue - and I've never complained about noise at a hotel in my life. But my room was the closet to the lobby desk. And for a long while around midnight - there was a lengthy conversation in the lobby - with one voice being a very loud male voice. I recommend a sign posted in the lobby asking people to keep conversations at a minimum volume late at night. One more thing - since I couldn't sleep during that time - I would have liked watching TV quietly. But the power cord and cable were both pulled out - and sitting on top of the heavy cabinet - with no way of plugging them in. That was strange. But I was still pleased with the room - and the price - and I do not need or want a response to this. Thanks!

To start there was a random article of clothing already in our room behind the chair. Gross! all of the buildings around this hotel were abandoned. We were on the first floor and the sliding window did not lock. The room next to it had a hole cut in the screen, so people could slide things in and out. It was absolutely horrible. We felt so unsafe and uncomfortable.

Smells of smoke and marijuana were hardly covered by some Lysol they must've sprayed. The hotel attracted local youth to hang out in the lobby most of the night and they were sooooo loud I didn't get any sleep. The complimentary breakfast was a joke/non-existent. They did not have caffeinated coffee - just a piece of bread, an apple, and a container of dry cereal without milk. If you're looking for a cheap place for a quick one-hour stand, this place is perfect. For anyone else, stay far away. Pay a little more to not stay in the rough area of Essex.

Let's acknowledge upfront that Super 8 is a lower-tier chain. So I am basing my ratings and comments with that fact in mind. Pluses: very friendly staff (they brought complimentary snacks to our room!); larger room than anticipated; very clean bathroom; refrigerator in room. It seems to me that they are in the process of upgrading things, a bit at a time. Minuses: insufficient lighting leaves the room very dark; not really any dining options within walking distance.
