Super 8 by Wyndham Metropolis

Couldn’t even stay it smelled so bad This was a free cancelation any time ticket which they refused to honor. We checked in and the lobby seemed okay. Went out and in the back door closest to the room. Immediately the entire facility smelled terrible!

Great place to stay. This is a nice little hotel. Very peaceful. Clean. Good beds and everything we needed to relax. Great staff. Nice pool and adequate breakfast. They accommodated all of our needs and we were traveling with 5 kids, so that says alot we would definitely stay here again.

Nastiest place to stay not friendly, the facility smelled like musty cigarette smoke and the shower was for a 3 foot person. the clerks on check in and check out could not answer any questions and were not concerned about helping or making the stay better.

Pet can come along They try to accommodate us with first floor room so we can take the dog outside easier. The staff is friendly. Check in time is fairly early, since we leave early, we tend to arrive early. Not sure how the breakfast is due to that we leave before it is served.

Clean and quiet First off, I spend a lot of time in hotels and motels, and I rate them based on value for price paid. I do not expect a $75 hotel to be the same as a $250 hotel, and I don't expect a $40 motel to be the same as a $75 hotel. This will likely be a pretty long review. I will mention minor petty things, but I won't take stars off for them. For example: a peeling popcorn ceiling in a room, or a poor caulk job around a sink in an older, less expensive place. Those things do not affect my stay. Now, on to my impressions of the Super 8, Metropolis Illinois. I like that it is kind of isolated, but right at the interstate exit. There is a farm field to the north, an access road to the east, a highway to the south with nothing much on the other side, and 5 acre chunk of land with a lonely Pizza Hut to the west. That means no sketchy characters hanging around the parking lot or in the lobby. There's really no reason for anybody to be on, or drive through, this property unless they're staying here. The staff is friendly and available. Plenty of parking. This is a hotel with entrance to the room via interior hallway. An indoor pool, which is actually clean and functional, is available from 7am - 9pm. The common areas in hallways are clean. There are entrances and stairs on both ends of the hotel. It's a two-story hotel, but I didn't see an elevator, so request a first floor room if that'll be a problem for you. They do not serve breakfast, but coffee and juices are available in the lobby in the morning, and there are small coffee makers in the rooms. I stayed in a standard room with a king bed. It was plenty spacious and equipped with a decent size mini fridge, microwave, good sized TV, a small desk with office chair, and night stands on either side of the bed. Large room, but no soft chair or sofa. Nice sized sink/closet area with plenty of counter space around the sink. Toilet and tub/shower combination are in a separate area behind a door. Room is clean, and the carpets are cleaner than most. Bed was softer than I would like, but that's just a matter of preference. Lamps have standard 115v power outlets. Wi-Fi is good, and the TV HDMI inputs are accessible with a fully functional remote. I stayed in a smoking room, which are usually the last to be updated. Everything was functional and clean, but the ceiling does have peeling popcorn due to no primer before installation. Climate control unit worked perfectly, and the filters were spotless. There was a problem with the microwave, and they swapped it out immediately with no hassle. There is a very small town to the west, and if you can't find what you need there, Paducah, Kentucky is 5 miles away, just across the river, with every restaurant and store that you could possibly need. This is one of the nicer budget hotels that I have stayed in. Summary: If you want a clean, quiet place to stay at a good price, Super 8 Metropolis is a good choice.
