Super 8 by Wyndham Stephenville

Roach motel Felt like we were camping. Rooms full of various bugs and roaches. A/c minimumly worked. Not worth money move along. Will say staff was friendly

Great budget motel in Stephenville, TX near Tarleton Campus There were SO many 1 & 2 star reviews everywhere on the internet for this property of how dirty and nasty it is...I was extremely hesitant to have my family stay here in the two rooms I reserved several months ago for my daughter's graduation on 5/11/24 for Tarleton University. I had also made backup reservations at the La Quinta Inn & Suites 30 minutes away in Glen Rose, but didn't really want to drive the 30 miles early the next morning of the ceremony. I could cancel both reservations up till the day before arrival with no charge. My 79-year-old mom is very particular about the cleanliness of a hotel/motel room. She doesn't mind one being old and dated, but certainly won't stay in a dirty, gross place. She immediately checks the sheets after check-in and the bathroom. I wasn't as concerned because my daughter, nephew and I travel to different parts of the country each summer to hike different mountains and canyons. We try to find the cheapest motels...some are kinda dirty while most are just old and need renovating. I called and talked to the manager, Luis, at the Stephenville Super 8 four days before arrival about my concerns of all the negative reviews and how my daughter said it is referred to as the "meth motel". I asked if he could assign me two rooms ahead of time on the upper floor that he personally knew were in decent shape which he did. We arrived at 2:30pm because I wanted to make sure we got there before Luis went home at 3pm. I wanted to make sure we were actually given the rooms he pre-assigned me on the phone four days earlier and that they were actually decent rooms. We were in room #227 with a king bed and couch and room #229 with two queen beds and an over-stuffed chair. The rooms were clean, no weird smells, beds were comfy and cold AC. There were a couple tiny stains on the carpet and one corner tile missing by the bathtub. My tv in #229 had a bad over-exposed picture. I went down to the lobby and told Luis. By the time we got back to our room around that night...there was a new tv was installed. Pool area was spotless where we sat in chairs around a table in the early evening. Lobby was extremely clean. Continental breakfast was juices, coffee, cereals, muffins, etc...nothing special, but good for a quick meal. Even though, it is only a two-story motel...there was an elevator near our rooms making it convenient with luggage. I don't know why all the horrible reviews. It was a clean, budget motel. I usually don't write reviews on a hotel or motel, but I do usually reserve places to stay based on reviews. Bad reviews can really affect people's decisions on where to stay...so, I felt it was important to write my positive experience at the Stephenville, TX Super 8. Of course, I didn't see any other rooms besides ours, but ours were perfectly adequate! My brother stayed the night at the Hampton Inn & Suites (because he's too "uppity") just down the road that he paid $230 for...and, it wasn't that much better. A+++ to Luis and friendly staff.

Roach Hotel Stained carpet, couch, chair, and towels. Roaches in the room, nasty… Not sure what the owner thinks is a good place to stay, but this is not. The desk clerk gave me a can of bug spray to use, the roaches were everywhere and coming out of the electrical sockets. Woke up to a roach crawling on my arm… I wouldn’t stay there for free.

Horrible room Check in was fine. That's all that was fine. On our way to the room there was a feeling of being watched. Once in the room the sofa bed was broken. The TV stand was broken and missing handles. The smoke detector was ripped off the wall. All that remained was the wires. Did not stay. Left immediately and went to a different hotel.

Average stay Everything was adequate with the exception of the breakfast provided, there really wasn't much of anything at all. People were friendly and concerned about our stay, Would possibly stay again one day.
