We were in Marshall, MO, for homecoming at Missouri Valley College. The only good hotel was booked, so we ended up at Super 8. The price was about $55/night, so we were skeptical about the quality---and we were right. The place is fatigued, including the rooms. Furniture was dented and peeling. Coffee pot was dirty, so we never made coffee in our room. There was no extra lock inside the room--it had been ripped away. No hair dryer, no ironing board, no closet. The bathroom had faded paint and holes where a towel rack might have been. Tiny wrapped soaps and one teeny bottle of shampoo (We went out and bought our own soap and shampoo.) The shower curtain was wrinkled, the blanket on the bed was worn and thin. Breakfast Forget it--another dirty coffee pot, a package of mini-muffins from WalMart and a bowl of apples. A single table in the lobby...if you dared to eat. The hotel accepts smokers, so there's a lingering smell of stale cigarettes. Room service every three days. We always said we weren't picky about hotels, as long as there was a hot shower and decent bed. After three nights here, we agreed that we needed to up our standards.
