Super 8 Motel Dandridge

Where can I start… I came in looking for a room and waaala a room for 39.99. The receptionist gave me an outrageous price so I asked why so much she said that’s only for CDL drivers, I said I am A CDL driver so she asked to see the license. After that she was the rudest receptionist ever. I felt like she didn’t want me there. She gave me the wrong password for the WiFi then I called front desk she left me on hold forever so I hung up and tried again but she didn’t pick up, I called from my cell and she picked up quick. At that time I just didn’t want to speak to her. Never again will I come here to be treated so rude.

This Super 8 is a Super 0
Where do I begin? First, I was desperate to find a room last minute in Gatlinburg, but with no luck I settled on this one in Dandridge TN. My charge was about $ 170 because there were a couple of events going on in the area (??). Not only was the room expensive for a Super 8, it wasn’t worth more than $ 50.
This hotel does NOT have an elevator (?) and we were booked on the second floor (go figure). Made us wish we’d packed lighter. To make matters worse, in the bathroom there were hairs in the tub, special hairs on the toilet, low pressure water (shower too), and much more. When I went to make my coffee, there was no outlet close by. I ended up having to plug it into an outlet near our cooler and setting it on top. Then when I went to warm up the cold breakfast that I got in the lobby/​eating area, I had to squeeze behind the TV and unplug the refrigerator to plug in the microwave. Although they do not offer laundry service, which is fine because I don’t use it, I would’ve appreciated a «complementary» laundry bag. The continental breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. I settled on some biscuits and gravy which didn’t taste too good. Overall, not satisfied.
**However the receptionists were very friendly.

I am the furthest thing from a motel snob. I don’t expect perfection from an economy-​priced room. However, the only reason I gave a second star is because the front desk woman was so nice and not only is the motel pet-​friendly, she was overly accommodating when she had to snag her dog up into her arms because our (admittedly) unleashed, over-​friendly, lab ran over in greeting. She said that she did it because her dog has a dominant demeanor, but we were in the wrong and she’d have had every right to call us on it.
But, this is the first time I’ve spread the bedspreads on the floor simply because I won’t let my bare feet touch the carpet. (There are other reasons to throw them on the floor, but that can apply to any motel). And I walk barefoot EVERYWHERE. But, 5 steps on these greasy carpets skeeved even me out. Ugh

The accommodations were adequate for the price but BEWARE if using a credit card. I reserved a room ($ 335.70 per week) for my mother after her house burned. I paid with my AX and was given the correct price of $ 335.70. At some point the charge was changed to $ 6770.70 and 10 days later the manager STILL hasnt reversed this charge!

I was in need of a hotel and looking for a La Quinta or Super 8 (both are pet friendly) and Super 8 came first. For $ 40 – 45 this place ROCKS! Pillow top king size mattress, 42″ flat screen, great cable connection, stainless steel fridge, dark wood bed set and granite tops on everything. I had a wonderful night sleep.
The only reason why I am not giving a 5 star review for my wonderful stay is because of the following:
1. The ceiling and bathroom fixtures need sprucing up.
2. semi parking is impossible if the hotel is full
