Super 8 by Wyndham Corvallis

I want to start with the positives: the front desk staff was kind. When they saw that I was a little old lady with a dog and knowing the elevator was broken, they "upgraded" me to a king room on the first floor. Otherwise, pet rooms were on the third floor and I could not have managed that with a dog who needed toileting every few hours, let alone with my luggage. The hot water was truly hot, plentiful and had good pressure. The tub was old and had no grab bar or non-slip treatment, but the shower experience was glorious. Towels were thin but soft and clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the new heating unit whisper-quiet. The negatives: the smell was horrific. I couldn't identify it exactly but it was if the Oregonian Black Mold Society was holding a convention in the foundation of the building. The carpet looked new and I don't think the smell came from the beat-up chair. The bed was on a platform so I don't think there was something under the bed that had decomposed in place. My window had no screen but at least it opened -- unfortunately, given the cold, wet weather, I was unable to air out the room even if security hadn't been an issue. The other negative was the location. What was once a beautiful location adjacent to the riverfront along a bike trail has become a campsite for the homeless. The adjacent bridge shelters drug users and a path at one side of the property is their all-hours cut-through to camp. I was afraid for my car and not unafraid for myself outside at night toileting my dog. The security latch on the outside entrance to the property next to that path is broken, allowing total access from outside. I was in town seeking medical care at the university for my sick pet and had based my choice of Super 8 on another in the chain which was a delightful stay. This wasn't. It was stinky and scary (although I slept very well given the excellent bed.) I wish the managers all the best in trying to improve the property (stacks of new heaters piled high in the lobby!) but the city not relocating the homeless folks is the worst of their problems. Corvallis, this one's on you!

Positive: The staff were very friendly. Negative: The room smelled like cigarettes. The room gave a vibe of being unclean. There were clearly people actively smoking in the hotel while we were staying there. The room next to us, a connecting room, was obviously using drugs and were loud all night.

Staff is great . Friendly very helpful. We stay here months out of the year and always a great experience. We never have had any issues that weren't solved quickly. Maid service is great and trustworthy when we have stay overs. The manager is very kind

Yes, that is a BED BUG in the photo. Wish I could give zero stars. I was too afraid to lift up the blankets to see if there were more bugs, one was enough for me and I was out of there. The cleaning staff this morning had a dog with them running around which would explain the wet dog stench. Pretty sure that’s against health code. The pool is closed due to the health department enforcing it be, and I can see why. The mattresses stacked up are most likely also infested with bed bugs. The worst part of all of this was when I was leaving the bathroom this morning and the door handle came completely off, so I thought I had accepted my fate in the worlds most dirty hotel. A refund was refused. Health department, shut this place down, and people, don’t risk your health or dignity staying here.

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times over the last 6 months. It's a typical Super 8. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I went a few months not staying there and returned to find that the homeless and drug addicts/dealers have taken over the hotel. A coworker of mine had someone trying to sell him drugs right in the lobby. Until hotel management can take care of this problem, steer clear.

Positive: The location and staff were the best part of the stay. The beds were also comfortable. Negative: Our door had duct tape on it. There was black mold in the bathroom. The phone was taped together. The volume on the tv had issues. The elevator has been broken for about a year.

We have stayed here before. For the price, about 100 dollars on a game weekend. It's fine. Bathrooms are not up dated and pool has been closed for years. Breakfast is just coffee, bagels cream cheese, yogurt, cereal , instant oatmeal packets, and prepackaged muffins. The coffee was not great and the decaf was room temp (I think it was from the day before). Close to downtown and easy 5 min drive to OSU.

We asked for the special needs room and it was very good. Tv acted up and clerk fixed it quickly. The room was very easy to get around with a walker. Tub/shower was very good with shower seat in the bathroom. The bed was a great sleep. Getting around the facility was easy. The pool and hot tub were both closed just like so many. Thanks for a good stay.
