What guests think

At Super 8 by Wyndham Gainesville, many guests find clean, basic rooms, friendly front-desk staff, and a well lit, secure parking area, making it a practical stop for short stays and decent value for the price.

However, several reviews note late night noise from other guests and traffic, plus a few safety or loitering concerns around the property. Recurring frustrations include a mandatory refundable deposit and occasional billing or check-in problems. Breakfast is minimal and sugary, with limited variety. Expect a no frills budget stay with trade offs.

Surprised by the mandatory $50 refundable fee. Since they only have 4 non smoking rooms, they require you pay this fee for any damages. I was unable to take a bath. Only shower. Very limited number of tv channels and 2 of them were Spanish. Ice machine didn’t always work.Not a great area.

The room itself was fine, but the other guests partied noisily well into the early morning. I would not stay here again and was grateful my car was still there in the morning.

Property was good but a bit expensive since it didn't offer a pool and the breakfast was a joke since. you could not even get toast, only pancake, one brand cereal, or yogurt. No coffee maker in room either

There was a broken bottle on upstairs walkway all night. seemed unsafe. The neighborhood was a little questionable. The room was clean, also, I liked the heated floors at the sink & bathroom.

A lot of people walking about all times of the night, a lot of traffic, homeless people walking about, the smell of Mary Jane was heavy in the air for me to be in a no smoking room with burnt marks on the toilet seat and dust caped on the fan in the bathroom. The people were nice, the beds, floors, restroom were clean and the exterior was maintained as well.

It is the dirtiest I have ever been in a budget hotel. the smell of the room; the sheets all dirty, the dirty refrigerator. The coffee maker with hair inside the water tank. I would never stay there again.

We had a non refundable res with Expedia. Checked in very late. Was informed there was a $50 "deposit" required in addition to the room fee. I told the clerk I had never heard of such an outrageous thing and didn't want to pay it. He said it was refundable within 3 to 5 days. I said, I don't care, I think it is ridiculous. But I had to pay it to get the room key. I also told him I was going to write a very negative review in Expedia. Never going to stay in a Super8 again. As for the room, it was clean, tidy, albeit pretty spartan, but comfortable enough. However, I had to unplug the heat pump b/c it was making a weird noise when it kicked on. And in general the noise level from other guests as well as traffic was unacceptably high. I apologized to the motel staff the next morning for being irate when checking in, and they were very nice. But I am still never going to stay there again, not in 1,000 years.

The staff at the hotel was great however there were issues posting my payment at check in and the staff member had to call for help. She had to wait on hold for quit a while and then was told we can’t help you we’ll call you back. It took about an hour and a half to get me actually checked in. I even did early check in on line this afternoon and the charge was immediately showing pending in my bank account. The staff on site was very accommodating and helpful but it was an incredibly stressful experience as I wasn’t sure what to do if it could not be fixed.
