Super 8 by Wyndham Colorado Springs Airport

"Worst lodging I've ever had outside the Third World. Pretty bleak and gritty feeling scene here. Lots of cars in disrepair in the lot that looked like they hadn't moved in a long time. Clientele seemed largely down-on-luck and maybe transient folks taking up extended stays. Definite unsafe vibe. Dogs barking from rooms into the wee hours. Won't be back."

"Let me set the scene: after a long day of driving through the fragrant perfumes of Nebraskan farms and into the mountains of the great state of Colorado (a state with a prestigious #2 ranking), our hearts were full of dreams about saunas, indoor pools, continental breakfasts, working lights, unbroken windows, and clean sheets. All we wanted to do was check for the aforementioned bedbugs noted by the other esteemed reviewers and collapse into an affordable sleep. As it turns out, our dreams were crushed as much as whatever made that mysterious white power on the floor outside our room. Our stay started out delightfully with a plesant encounter with the lovely receptionist who is the reason we doubled the number of stars we rated the service at this “establishment.” Our first inkling of the surprises on the horizon was the antique sign by the front desk advertising amenities once offered by this hotel in its hayday, but many of those offering were crossed out including the promised continental breakfast. The tactfully informative receptionist explained the changes to the hotel’s services. However, even the amiable receptionist had no choice but to enforce the charge of the refundable “security” deposit for our room which happened to be more expensive than the room itself. However, the charges were reversed six days later so there’s no hard feelings there. We strolled down the hall and noticed a glass door on the first floor with a phenomenal view of the mountains through a delightful mosaic of cracks. See photo below! We appreciated the artistic commentary on the fragility of life that instilled in us a healthy touch of fear. It took a few minutes for us to fully take in the grandeur of our room as only three of the eight lights were functional, those three being confined to the bathroom area. However, upon flashlight investigation, we got a better picture of our home for the night. Here were a few of the special quirks that made our room one of a kind: - a broken chain attached to the desk, reminiscent of a long-ago-stolen microwave - a missing chunk of carpet in the entryway - a cigarette burn on the unwashed sink - a mysterious sticky substance said to be “fuzzy and expanding” on the bedside table - stained towels (both of the two towels provided for our four-person room) - burrs below the mattress - holes in the sheets However, we were overjoyed to find that no bedbugs resided in our room at the same time as us to our knowledge. Another blessing was that our window was unbroken unlike the window of our compatriots. We requested more towels, pillows (as two were provided for four people), sheets, and blankets, but all the accommodating receptionist was able to scrounge up were clean bedskirts and towels with a delightful greasy stained pattern. I was ecstatic to finally have the opportunity to use a bed skirt as a pillow; it’s been on my bucket list for years. However, real pillows are my typical preference. All in all, we would recommend this hotel for anyone who is adventurous and doesn’t mind sacrificing cleanliness, a feeling of safety, and the comfort of clean sheets for a good story."

"This place shares the parking lot with days inn & apparently it's employees as well. Booked thru a 3rd party app & stood waiting at front desk for 30 mins calling periodically just to hear phone ring. Contacted 3rd party vendor they switched me hotels to the Days inn and not only was a young teen girl running it she was running both but completely ignoring this one. There was incopius amounts of drug/criminal traffic, & there were two men standing at front desk keeping her preoccupied with non stop talking who then turned their attentions to me as I was standing there while they boxed me in on either side of me trying to convince me that I knew them & reading my phone screen trying to see bank info as i unlocked my debit card. When I asked the 3rd party vendor to plz refund my money for these issues as I had small children and these places were very unsuitable for them to stay in, they had to call the motel & when they got back to me stated the motel had denied the refund request.... After asking for even more money then what I had already paid. I wouldn't even give it one star of that was an option. This motel or the Days Inn on aeroplaza in Colorado Springs."

"This hotel is horrendous. My guest room door was unlocked when I arrived. There was blood on the carpet and cigarette burns on the duvet. There was no trash can in the room, and the front desk simply gave me a trash bag. There was no hair dryer and they weren't sure which rooms had them. There was a coin glued to the inside of a side table drawer with some sort of red substance. The ice machine didn't work. When we asked for change to use the soda machine, they said they didn't have any. We ended up not staying there for fear of bed bugs or other travesties that might pop up. Avoid this at all cost. Wyndham should send an inspector to this property immediately."

"Look at the pics. The emergency door was broken and propped open. The breakfast included no food, and the ice machine was broken. The TV had no service, and the remote no batteries. The furniture and sheets were badly stained. A mess, maybe dirt?, in the hall lasted longer than our stay. The check-in person was not at the desk when we arrived, maybe trying to warm up considering the space heater? After arguing with my credit card company for 16 minutes, I returned as was able to get the room I reserved. The only reason I give service two stars is because a worker, whom I won't name in case of reprisal, was honest saying he would never come here if he didn't work here. The rooms smell like the 80s, because the carpet and furnishings haven't been replaced since about then. The bathroom tile floor was cracked and loose. And naturally the wifi was slow. The single worst hotel experience of my life."
