Unhappy
Older Super 8. Halls were dimly lit and part of the time elevator was not working. No cover over light fixture in bathroom and very dim light over sink and in bathroom. Chunk of wall missing in there also. Room in general needs to be updagted even though the king size bed was very comfortable. Disappointed my many little things such as one example: ice machine on first floor only and no lid on ice container in the room. Very unhappy with this Super 8 in Altoona, IA.
Not a good place for regular Wyndham customers who are booking with Wynham points
I booked a room several weeks prior to my stay directly thru the Wyndham site. I used Wyndham points for a reduced rate for the room. We checked in before the hotel was full for the night (so there were several rooms that had not been given to guests yet.) We were given room 329, the room farthest from the ice and vending machines and pool in in the hotel. There was some type of white crumbly stuff on the floor in the hall in front of our room when we arrived that was not cleaned up while we were there. The toilet would not flush unless the handle was held down. The bathtub drained very slow so ended up standing in water when taking a shower. The shower head leaked. There was a lot of mold/mildew in the grout & caulk in the tub/shower. We were traveling with several other people. I checked with some others who had not booked with Wyndham points and was told there was no mold/mildew in their bathroom. Guess this hotel does not value regular Wyndham customers.
One night
The worst hotel experience. Booked a room. Found out it was booked longer than needed. Asked for a refund for the last week and can’t get a response. People just pointing fingers. Even got a claim number and a booking number. Don’t book a room whit this company. It’s all a scam.
Weekend stay from 4-30 to 5-2
My family and I stayed at super 8 and it was great stay. However the blonde gal with shaved head on Saturday morning got upset with us due we asked for a couple extra towels, she was standing at the desk said "really" I said please and she threw down the stuff in her hand and said okay and walked away and grab them. I replied thank you and she said yep. Otherwise I would recommend super 8 in Altoona for people to stay and visit!
