Super 8 by Wyndham Durham/University Area NC

Nothing It was a lot of violence going on. A man was publicity showing himself as well as the front desk assistant she never gave me my id and when asking her about it after noticing she didn't give it back she was acting very suspicious and even hung up on me I called back and she suddenly found it. Lastly, the noise disturbance was terrible I couldn't sleep other guests were arguing which the police became involved but it still lasted all night which was chaotic

Dirty

Disappointing

The bathroom wall plaster by the tub was coming off and the ceiling in the bathroom was coming down. They could not get the key to work in the door so every time we left and came back to the room we had to have the attention open up the room with a key. If you would like pictures of this room I will be happy to send them to you. Also there was blood splatter on the wall by the door. This was a handicap room and the only one that they had. I will never go there again. When you reserve a room you expect it to at least be clean. My review will not be favorable. Seeing we will be going back to Durham again soon we will not be staying at your motel. We paid for a decent place and we got a terrible room.

never again

never again

My experience at Wyndham Durham Super 8 motel was honest to God the worse experience I ever had traveling in my life! That building all jokes aside needs to be condemned at the very least! The amount of roaches were beyond counting that I left all the lights on throughout the night! Wyndham should be ashamed to have their name associated with this motel. The same should go with Hotels.com You should not have this motel as a option! It is not a good look for your organization. Everything I read on the reviews were totally true! Filthy and disturbing! I wish I had checked the reviews before picking this health hazard of motel.

Bad

Superb

Broken locks, moldy shower, insects, floors slippery with unrinsed cleaner, AC puddles in breezeway, broken vending machine, no coffee maker in room, no TV remote, TV screen broken and unusable, didn't get the room I reserved. Long term neglect.

I didn’t like anything about the room and it was too late for me to find another hotel room closer by the room did not meet any of my expectations The floor was a mess and needed repairs. There were roaches. The iron did not work. The phones did not work. The tub was nasty. I had to clean that. There was no coffee in the room. Then there was not enough towels. There was only one towel and two washcloths.

Everything I liked w Everything except the roach infestation in room 111

I liked w Everything except the roach infestation in room 111

The environment was not pleasant

Cigarette butt burns in the blankets on the bed and the room smelled like smoke despite being non-smoking.

I checked into my room and immediately noticed multiple, large burn holes in the bed spread. The maid had clearly made up the room with a bed spread that had holes in it. I reported this to the front desk and they reacted casually like it was a common occurrence at their hotel. I got a very bad feeling about the safety and cleanliness of the hotel based on this and what activities go on there. I asked for a refund and went to a different hotel.

We (wife and 2 kids) arrived late around 10 pm. There were people (renters for the night) on the 2nd floor balcony creating a weird seen. There is no lobby to check in. Check in was through a glass pass box that sets the vibe that you are in unsafe place that the staff is scared to meet you without a glass barrier. The only positive thing I can mention is while I tried to check in through the pass box a male attendant came in from outside and apologized and talked to us in a friendly way. I asked him about the parking place and he said he thinks it is safe. Still we staid outside the building until we got the key to our room. The room was filthy, infested with insects in the bed area on the walls, the floor and in the bath room. The blanket was visibly torn and the bedsheets did not look clean. We discussed and decided it was unsafe and impossible to sleep in the room so we started calling hotels in the area. We left the room after about 15 min to stay at the nearby hotel. In the morning we returned to hand in the room key, again thru the glass pass box, I also was hoping there could be a lobby where you can go inside to talk to the staff (I thought the door might have been closed by the time we arrived late in the evening). No lobby, only a glass pass box! Thank you for costing us about $90 and emotional distress. I am wondering if there is inspection at all by local authorities.

Nothing this place was a dump and so unsafe. The room was falling apart, there were cigarette holes in my sheets and blankets. Felt unsafe the entire time. Heard arguing and looked out the window and a man was laying in the doorway of his room with the door open lifeless with blood on him. I literally checked out after about an hr and a half of being there. Didn’t even spend the night.

Exceptional

.

Building was nit kept clean.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed in!!!!! and I have stayed in some real crappy places !! The ceiling in the bathroom had water rolling out from up stairs About to fall on my head in the shower hanging down over 2 inches and covered with BLACK MOLD it needs mold abatement !!!! to be safe. It stunk and my head and sinuses have been painful all day and breathing !!!! NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only good part was the staff. Everyone I met who worked there was VERY nice, helpful and personable.

No blanket Bath room is dark

Expedia, shame on you for not showing the actual picture of the property on your listing. Very deceptive. This is an old motel that has not had updates in a long time. The room smelled, the furniture is beat up, there were cigarette burns in the bedspread, and what I thought were ants were actually baby cockroaches. It was fairly clean and the water pressure was good. The bed was comfortable, but there was just a top sheet and a thin coverlet(with lots of holes), but no blanket or comforter. There were some folks just hanging around outside and music was playing late into the night. I think people may live at this place. It was fairly convenient to Duke. The 3 staff members I interacted with were extremely friendly. Wyndam needs to do a full gut job on this property.

I was disappointed because this is a Wyndham property. The property needs a full renovation. There was a hole in the bathtub. Ants and roaches in the bathroom. A used water bottle was in the frig when we arrived. The wayer was rusty. The towels were very nice and fluffy. The picture online did not match the actual property.

.

I just wanted a bed and a shower. Barely met that standard. The price was good but I would not stay there under normal circumstances.

It was a dump.

.

In a very bad location. Homeless folks outside. Did not feel safe or clean. Entire room tattered & worn.

The picture showed on internet was fake.

Unsafe. Electrical issues including sparks shooting out of an outlet. Power strip blew resulting in loss of power to TV, fridge, microwave and lamp. Maintenance came and was able to restore power. A very loud fight erupted in the parking lot after midnight lasting over an hour. Several police units finally responded and ended the dispute involving 5 or 6 people.

Rm 201. Bathroom door - could not be latched/locked Bathroom fan not working Floor tiles broken While sheets and towels were clean, walls, etc. were dirty 3 people - given 2 towels, 1 washcloth and no hand towels Non-smoking room smelled of smoke Sink plunger didn't work Climate controls broken and missing knob (couldn't adjust) After multiple requests, finally got a working WiFi pwd Non working ice machine Breakfast consists of coffee and mini donuts The Good: bed was comfortable lights worked outside door latched and locked

It was close to my daughter *only good, but the floor was terrible. I could not walk on the floor without shoes. There was an inch and a half gap under the door. Water pours in with the right wind.

It was good and convenient for us. It was close to my doctor's office

Price too high for such low quality

Bug inside mini fridge. Microwave on last legs, well past it's last legs as it was eat up in rust.

very dirty. The room key was demagnetized three times in 10 hours. Breakfast is poor. coffee diluted with water, the smell in the room is deadly. I had to ventilate for an hour. everything is very old and dead. I will never stay there again

Reserved a king room in advanced and was given a double. No towels in the room and roaches were everywhere.

It was just a one night stay. It was fine. Not the most cleanliness. Bed was alright.

My room was not clean! The floors were dirty, the AC was leaking water all over, and the bedspread was covered in cigarette holes. Housekeeping did not come to clean my room once in the three days I stayed here.

none

Poor maintenance.!

All amenities below standard, no hot water, no pool access, no breakfast, paid basically for nothingness!

Less than 8 minutes from Duke University.

The rooms were extremely dirty. The floors were both slippery and sticky. The furniture in the rooms were stained and in poor condition. There were cigarette burns in the comforters. The bathrooms were also filthy and toilets looked like they had not been cleaned after the last guests.

Good stay for a night for the money. A place to sleep.

You get what you pay for, great for a 1-2 night stay!

The clerk was the only redeeming thing about this property. We arrived late, and had to talk through a window to someone (Libby was closed at 10pm). She was very nice. Went to our room, couldn’t get in. The clerk had to come open the door for us. We went inside and it was infested with bugs. They were everywhere. Roaches, ants, and other unidentifiable creatures. We made the decision not to stay and left to find another hotel. The clerk refunded our money with no questions asked.

It was a horrible stay. If i didnt already pay for it i wouldve left. Didnt feel say at all staying there. It was dirty and smelly. It's amazing for what we pay for a "good" nights rest and what a mess we get.

The bed, pillows were great. The shower was nice, good water pressure, clean curtain. It was warm. It was quite after 11 pm. Convenient. Yet, The place was really unclean. The Rugs hadn’t been vacuumed, microwave dirty, refrigerator dirty, the sink dirty, mirror dirty, coffee maker broke, bathtub just old I guess, had stains. Commode was nice. Cigarette burns on bed cover. Saw one roach. I think that they forgot to clean it. My stay before this one was more pleasant.

Won’t be back here again.

it was okay but the area seemed a bit unsafe

We had stayed in this hotel only a few months ago and was shocked that it had deteriorated so much. There were cobwebs in corners and under the window. The floor was sticky and the room smelled bad. There were also roaches. However, the staff was friendly.

Everything else was great. Clean, microwave, frig, nice flat screen tv, great fan bathroom, nice shower, nice floors, clean sheets, and the manager and staff were friendly, helpful, awesome. Ice machine, coffee and coffee maker in room. They let me check out an hour late due to a doctors appointment and check in an hour early. I felt safe there, no parties or loud noise. I would highly recommend, especially for 1-3 day stay.

The unit was super clean all over, the ac, though old, worked, and the large screen tv was fine. Beds were a bit soft for my wife, mine near the door was fine. The room and bathroom, though clean, was in need of upgrading, as it seemed, patch work was all that was done. New Toilet was great. The security door lock bar was broken off, did not give us a sense of security.

Customer service was great.

This motel is dirty nasty and disgusting

There was plenty of areas to eat and shop... nothing to do in the area

Cockroaches, broken locks. Booked for a group I work with- they often stay in Super 8’a when they travel for work. This time, I had to get them a different hotel shortly after their arrival bc they felt unsafe said the cockroaches were “having a party” in the room.

We were here for 2 and a half hours. The area is not the best which is what to expect from the price I suppose. We felt unsafe immediately. The door didn’t close easily and the smell was absolutely atrocious. There were holes in the comforter and the bathroom was ancient. We decided we felt so unsafe that we left soon after. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Live there for two nights but no one cleans the room

When check-in, the room has not been clean, strange powder on bathtub, dirty grease on sink counter, floor seems not touched for a long time, door rusted out, smelled so bad, heard the gunshot at night, homeless and intoxicated, visit the property, no cleaning staff show up at all during the three day stay. The front desk, if it can be called that way, staff did not help at all, loffy....

It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. There was mold in the bathroom, the door knob on the bathroom was about to fall off, the floor was sticky, it smelled like smoke, take window had a huge crack in it, the ceiling was falling down. It was just dirty.

Service was good, it’s a motel, don’t really expect too much

When I arrived the room was dirty. There was dirt, grime and blood on the doors and walls. There was scribble all in the walls. The furniture was battered and the sheets smelled of mildew. There was prostitution happening in the parking lot and in the rooms (with the doors wide open in plain view of the manager). I refused to stay there with my daughter after a long road trip and instead went down the street to a clean and safe Holiday Inn. The manager assured me my money would be refunded. A month later they charged me again for the room that I never used.

I reserved a room with 1 King bed, but was given a room with 2 double beds. There were no other rooms available (surprisingly, because this place is awful). This was not the biggest issue though. The room was dirty and had a musky odor. The sheets and bedding had stains and looked very worn. I actually put my own blanket on top of the bedding and slept on top of that because it just didn't look/smell clean. There were holes all over the walls (I thought they might have been bullet holes!) They covered them with spackle but it was never painted over or finished. There was a good 2" gap under the door to the outside. Paint peeling off the walls. There was mold on the back side of the door and graffiti on the back of the door. The floor was actually coming up in places. The bathtub and all bathroom fixtures were covered in rust and it didn't look like anything had been cleaned recently. I actually couldn't even get the shower to come on at all. I had to go purchase cleaning supplies to clean the bathroom myself. The TV didn't work, and the TV couldn't be plugged in at the same time as the mini fridge. Only one outlet in the entire room actually worked. There were sketchy things going on in the parking lot during the night and I was scared to even leave my room after dark. I spent 2 nights here because all the local hotels were full. I have a pretty high tolerance for cheap hotels, but this was definitely the worst I've ever stayed in.

My "smoke-free" room stunk from cigarettes and bed throws were having many cigarette holes. I killed two large insects - possibly cockroaches. That`s enough to never stay there again.

Bed comfortable; shower with damage. Ice machine non-functional; towels new and clean. Bed linen with holes. Convenient location and low price.

There were roaches in the room.

The room was listed as non smoking and I could not detect any odors, but the spread had cigarette burns in it. There was follicle evidence that the tub was not properly washed out. Aside from the window heater/ac, there was an auxiliary heater set up in a corner, by the bed, that ran constantly. It was also plugged into an extension cord that made me feel unsafe. The sheets were well past their use as evidenced by the many holes in the sheets. The free breakfast was not good because the machine was out of order leaving only coffee, and suspect cinnamon rolls that following everything else, was probably not fresh. Pictures attached.

.

It was near the high way and eating places. Room only had one outlet. Either the TV / Refrigerator or unplug one of them for the desk light to plug in. Room repairs were conducted but not painted. It was good for the price.

Clean

I had a very nice time it was quiet clean and had everything I needed for the three days that I needed it for I brought my dog and he was comfortable as well the people were nice at the reception the woman who checked me in and who was there throughout my stay was very kind hearted and made sure my dog was safe and that’s the main important part for me was my safety and my dog safety we had a very good time

The room was dirty and we felt a little unsafe staying there. The was just horrible with bugs and the bed not smelling clean. We definitely will be paying more since this was only $45

Cockroaches and bugs in the room, bedsheets and covers with holes, uncleaned bathroom

Hole in floor

It was ok for the $$. Can't expect Trump plaza, lol, considering the rising costs. It was clean, pet friendly...(.needed.)

Very disgusting, uncomfortable, and dirty. Bed sheets and couches had a bunch of cigarette holes in them, the AC was leaking, there were multiple leaks in the bathroom, the tv remote didn’t work, there were bugs, I could go on forever. Booking literally anywhere else would be the correct choice.

Its hard to believe that Wyndham associates their name to this property. Better off at a motel 6!

This property is very dirty Roaches was everywhere, in the tub on the tv on the blankets they need to shut this place down asap

Bath tub dirty, Tv didnt work, floor board missing, Dresser scuffed ub 2 placesces/ door latch missing. bed sheet. blanket and couch had holes in them.room smelled musty. front entry light went out during second night, people hang out in parking lot/ cars. Requesting a partial or half refund of my stay

I’m a budget traveler and this was graduation weekend - prices all over the area were nuts! My comparison set is the last 2 Motel 6 I stayed in. This Super 8 was beyond needing updating: the walls were smudged and drab, shower curtain rod near breaking off, flooring breaking apart here and there. We didn’t feel comfortable taking our shoes off except to sleep or shower. Bedspread was old and ripped. (I doubt these are washed often at any budget place but these were bad.)

Economical; close to Duke; rooms need some repairs; TV remote with no back and had issues one day—was fixed immediately. Very wonderful staff. Close to hwy and conveniently located.

Toilet not functioning, bed sheets had not been changed after previous guests (pubic hairs on sheets), blow drier literally caught fire. Very dirty and not fit for humans.

Nice people, yucky room.

I have stayed at Super 8 properties earlier but this was the worst experience ever. There was a cockroach in the toilet. Lot of wear and tear in the room which looked like never repaired. AC unit not working properly, wasn’t able to maintain temperature and shutting down frequently. Comforter was very very thin in comparison to the freezing temperature outside, it was worn out and had holes too. Maids barged into the room without knocking or checking at the front desk if the guests are out. There was no complimentary breakfast with atleast a few items as used to be earlier. Lady at the front desk herself was a smoker and seen smoking most of the time.

I’ve stayed in some pretty gross hotels in my day, this was the worst. Seedy, falling apart and moldy. I was sick for a week afterwards. The owner was nice but I’m pretty sure she lives there and I’m concerned for her safety if the other rooms are as bad as the one we stayed in.

There were homeless people hanging out behind and a rowdy bunch at night because of Mexican club next door the cops even made an appearance. Not in a good part of town.

Desk staff nice and bed was okay. However most of the outlets in the toom did not work, refrigerator was dead and loud party for hours in the room next door

Moldy coffee pouch in coffee maker

Found trash in drawers, tub, walls....stained. Very run down, not upkept. Outlets so worn would not hold plugs. Large gap under door letting bugs in. No TV remote.....very poor shape. Strong smoke odor. We did not stay the night.

Manager was very helpful

The hotel was clean the bed was amazing the location itself doesn't look like a great area but it was extremely quiet it is directly off of one of the major highways in Durham but we had a great stay and I will be coming back to that hotel in a matter of weeks on pleasure in the room was actually larger than I thought it was going to be

Hotel was kinda dumpy, semi clean towels stained black. Reserved a king bed but got 2 double bed room. Not recommended...

Nothing

We didn’t check in at Super 8 and they didn’t refund our money, it was a bad attention and a bad location.

It was a great location.

If you are looking to stay someplace that should be closed by the department of health then this is the place for you! Keep in mind that you will be sharing your room with cockroaches and the musical tones of police sirens. The bedspreads come with an assortment of decorative cigarette burns and if you look in the pillow cases you’ll see abstract art drool stains.

It was just ok for short stay. They don't serve any breakfast. Refrigerator was dirty.

The fellow who worked during the day was as nice and helpful as one could want. The woman who checked us in during the late afternoon was not pleasant, and she stood in the doorway of her office and chain-smoked. The building is in very poor condition, and the stairs were not only unswept, but the broom was lying on the staircase. Amazing. The room stank of cheap disinfectant which could not overpower the smoke smell. The walls had holes in them; the bathroom was terrifying, and the bedspreads had burns in them, whether from cigarettes or marijuana seeds, we could not tell. The whole experience made me wish I had not only my handgun but my rifles and my chainsaw as well. We fled to a better hotel. Whooo. This place needs to be closed down. Really. Do Not Book a room here.

The location was good for me and the cost was good. The essentials were in place in terms of bed comfort, bath materials, shower. The room itself seemed raw and uninviting: worn upholstery, rusty wall bracket, holes in bed cover (from cigarettes?), no chair to sit at table, TV remote that didn't work. The faux wood floor undoubtedly makes cleaning easier, but is unattractive.

I had to change rooms four times one because the hear didnt work.then again because the second room heat didn't work. By the time it's two in the morning so i tell them i will wait and until the morning. The next room was infested with roaches so they change me again amd that room was ok

It's really gets back to 80-90's. It's old, terrible and very rusty bathtub, wash tub and all amenities. Smells terrible and not an safe area. Some homeless fellow walked on door at night which was really scary.

I would not recommend this place unless you are desperate. We stayed in rm. 204. Old furniture with a broken handle. There is a gap in the door which light was shining through. you could get a small mouse through it. There is no standards. Upon arrival the office was locked and a lady came out from room 101 and took my information out front. This is a ok place if you need to rest. Did not feel safe and i slept on top of the blanket and not between the sheets. I travel a lot and have stayed in many Super 8's. Would not feel safe here. I am fair on all my reviews.

Staff was responsive, Hotel is showing it's age. Quite a few 'permanent' residents with the accompaning noise and drama.

The sheets were clean and it did look like the place had been wiped down—minus the condom wrapper on the back of the couch, which was less than comforting. So yeah, not ever going back.

It was good for a night but I wouldn't recommend staying longer. Room only had 2 towels, there was no phone, some outlets didn't work, there was no shampoo or conditioner, and it looked spooky. But there were no bed bugs, and the water and lights worked so definitely stayable for a night.

the room was not up to par as far as maintenance, the microwave, refrigerator and phone did not work. TV remote was missing, ice machine was broken with cob webs all over it so it been down for some time. would not recommend

Nothing was good, except the price. The TV and phone were not even plugged in. There was a terrible stink in the room which made me sick.

Not very clean, sketcky area, and my car got side swiped in the parking lot. Lots of weird people come here and lots of noise overnight. Would not recommend.

My understanding is that Wyndham Super 8 motels are clean and nice. This one was a dump. I will not stay here again.

The 1st room was not clean so he was nice and gave me another room. Roaches running around in the second room and air conditioner is so ran down i was scared to touch it.. Not a clean hotel. There was no hot coffee in the pot in the lobby, he said warm it in microwave but there was no coffee in the pot.

Ok. So it was cheap but it certainly was not cheerful. Old, dirty, smelly, needs decorating, stinks of smoke and of pot constantly. Bed was horrendously worn, so much so that sleeping was impossible and sea legs were the norm due to the inbalance. Avoid.
