Super 8 by Wyndham Fort Dodge IA

Super 8 Not so Great We stayed two nights, our room was clean but small, the hair drier didn’t work, we informed the management and they were not able to replace the drier but allowed us to go to a different room and use the drier in that room and then return back to our room. That evening, we returned back to our room and the hair drier still was not replaced, we spoke to management again and they told us that it was on order. About a half an hour later, management replaced the drier. A prudent manager would have replaced the hair drier the first time we asked. The facial bar of soap was the smallest bar that we ever seen, there was one bottle of shampoo but no conditioner or body lotion. The grill on the air conditioner was broken out and the digital temperature display was not functioning properly, which made it difficult to reach a desirable room temperature in a timely manner. The window screen was half pulled out of the frame and was torn and there was a wooden dowel rod laying in the track of the window giving the appearance that the room had been broken into once. The recliner was well worn to the point that the vinyl on the head rest area was cracked in a spider web pattern. On Sunday morning, at 9 am, I was in the shower, housecleaning knocked on the door and wanted to clean our room. My wife told them to come back later and they requested a time to return and stated that they start cleaning at 9 am. This exact same scenario happened again on Monday morning, housecleaning knocking on our at 9 am. There was no “do not disturb” sign. The breakfast was very limited, there was only one waffle maker and biscuits and gravy, there were no scrambled eggs, sausage or potatoes. The breakfast bar was not replenished when items were depleted, we only seen one bagel on the tray each morning, the cream cheese bowel was empty, the apple juice was empty on Sunday morning and the orange juice was empty on Monday morning. The room was clean but not a value nor did the ame

Location was acceptable because the price was low.

From the hall way to the room, everything reeked of cigarette smoke! Either the cleaning people have no sense of smell, or they just don't care. I was literally sick to my stomach from breathing the air in that room. I'll gladly pay more and get a motel that doesn't smell like that. I'm not sure how you get away with listing them as "non smoking" rooms.

Room was fairly clean.

Room smelled musty, hair on 1 pillow, breakfast ended before 9.
