DO NOT STAY AT THE SUPER 8!!!

[TAMAdude082]

last year me and my "posse", if you will, decided to stay at the super 8. we called 2 weeks before prog power VIII to make sure we still had our reservation. they told us that they lost our reservation, so we made a new one, no big deal. we payed for our new reservation only to find out later (after prog power VIII) that we were charged for the reservation THEY LOST in addition to the 2nd reservation. we were charged twice. we call the owner and he says he cannot he can not find our second reservation in the computer (finding the second would prove that we paid, there for he would be forced to give us our money back for the first resefvation) all im saying is its not worth the trouble, the owner is a dick and WILL screw you over, if he cannot find the "lost" resevation, we will bring him to court and we will win


did i forget anything sam???

Wouldn't faxing him your credit card statement showing the double billing by Super 8 prove to him that you were charged twice?

 

[Force10]

Also let your credit card company know and dispute the charge. They may be able to help.

Not to mention the Super 8 is a hell hole as it is.

I stayed there for the last two years. It was two years too many, though. The location was ok, the price was fine, but the conditions sucked. Not as bad as some I've read on the forum, but could have been better.

Hope the Courtyard is a better place.

The Courtyard is a palace compared to the Super 8!

 

[Diamond45]

For the money, lets hope so. Thank goodness MetalRose managed to get a group rate to make staying there more reasonable.

I must blessed by the motel gods;I have stayed there the last 3 years and have not had any problems.

I say shoot em :Smokin: Wing em at least Seriously we can identify with that scenario. No fun. Just contact your CC company, they'll initiate the paperwork.

I've stayed at the Super 8 twice with 0 problems.

Something similar happened to me. I made a reservation with them but called to cancel it after I made another reservation at the Courtyard. When I called they said they could not find my reservation which meant that it was never actually made (they had not put it in the system). But then I had my credit card billed when I returned from PP.
Are we seeing a pattern here?

we had roaches IN the toilet paper!

Maybe the maid uses TP to roll a number and this is the leftovers?

Unfortunately, sometimes you truely do get what you pay for. Certainly we are all under different financial circumstances come PP time, but those choosing to stay at the Super 8 must at least expect some inconveniences, whether or not they actually do happen. That's not to say you can't and won't get screwed at an up-scale hotel too, as many here can atest to.

It's a shame because many are under financial constraints for PP, so saving money on a hotel is a really big deal. Would be nice if a place like the Super 8 wasn't run by a slumlord(or so it would seem).

Yea, but double-charged or charged for lost reservations? This is a first and totally unacceptable. Roaches are also major lame. I've been nation-wide in low and upscale hotels/hostels and I've only come to expect critters in TX.

I totally agree it's unacceptable. I'm guessing it's one of those things where if you screw 100 people, maybe only 60 of them actually follow up to fix it so sometimes I wonder if shady places like this just play the odds.

We didn't get what we payed for at the Super 8. We were paying at least $100 a night at that dump. For what we payed, things could have been ALOT better. Al and I stayed at a Motel 6 on our way to VA last year, and that place was cheaper AND nicer than the Super 8 we stayed at for ProgPower.

So no, you don't always get what you pay for.

maybe we should all bring tents and camp in the lot across the street from Centerstage
