Super 8 Albany

Dirty. Room was poorly lit. Next to the highway, which makes it noisy. Wifi was slow or didn’t work. Did not get my wakeup call, making me miss my appointment. However, it is conveniently located near McD’s (next door), Kohl’s & Costco.
Complained to Super 8 corporate who said they would look into it but never got back to me after promised dateline. I will not return to a Super 8.

We loved this place. The previous night we had stayed at a «motel» that was practically a dump. (And I won’t go into detail), but it wasn’t in Albany. Then we got this great Super 8. It was low budget, it was clean and simple, the staff were helpful and honest, and the continental breakfast was good. They had several gluten free options, which is always nice. Also, the beds were extremely comfortable. It so contrasted our previous night’s stay and I would absolutely recommend it.

Great experience checking in with Linda, she was kind and helpful but was was cool was she had parking for our Harley trike and was so on top of things. Really nice to meet people like her. Thank You Linda

We called the day of check in and were informed that check in times were running behind since they were short staffed. We were visiting from out of town to attend a wedding and this put a damper on things. After check in we were in a rush, so we dropped our things off in the room and left shortly there after. Once we got to the room, we noticed that the room smelled absolutely horrible, was dirty, and unbelievably cramped. As we had no time to discuss this with the front office we waited until after the wedding to get in touch with them. We decided on staying at another hotel and promptly turned in our hotel keys to the front office (about 7pm). We did not stay the night there and the hotel has continued to refuse any sort of discount let alone a complete refund. I am very disappointed with the service and facilities. We will not be staying at a Super 8 again.

Me and my husband wasn’t able to find any place to book in Eugene. So we decided to go further and stay in Albany and booked super 8 at last moment. The person at the desk was very helpful. We get to meet the owner, he was really welcoming. He told us about the new upgrades they have done and brief information about places to visit.
When we entered room, to our surprise it exceeded our expectations. It was really upgraded and very clean. Nice big size room at affordable price is all one wants on long trips. This one is a great place to stay, we strongly recommend the place.

Clean, comfortable, quiet; greeted by the owner who gave us restaurant recommendations and the next morning asked about our comfort and satisfaction.
We remarked about the bed, the best we’ve slept on in any motel, and he explained he spent a lot of money on them because «that’s what you should expect».
Standard features (wi-​fi, fridge, micro, TV, coffee maker) plus iron and board, and comfy recliner. All staff were cheerful and friendly even on a Holiday (Thanksgiving), and everyone was smiling.
Obviously this is a franchise operation but it’s an example of a great value and a good experience at a very affordable price $ 59 w/​tax.
I will stay there again if travel brings me this way.

I had to make a last-​minute trip to Albany, Oregon, under the worst possible circumstances (death in the family). Due to the nature of the trip, I was simply looking for anything that was halfway-​decent and affordable, especially as the whole trip was made without advance bookings and plannings.
The good: VERY friendly staff; Mostly clean rooms; moderately comfortable rooms; Decent a/​c; Free wifi; Mediocre but free breakfast; Affordable pricing.
The bad: Everything else. The room was small and the bathroom was tiny.
My first night, I had an ENORMOUS spider in my bathroom, which ran away before I could stomp it. Knowing it was still in the room caused me to sleep with a light on for the rest of my 4-​night stay. Each day, I saw at least one spider in the room.
Even though I was in one of the «better» rooms facing the pool, it was noisy to the point it affected my sleep. I had a ton of highway noise, noise from anyone and everyone chatting outside, noise from the snack machine, noise from the pool, and a jarring amount of noise coming from the parking lot. I would be awakened several times a night and spent the trip feeling sick due to my lack of adequate rest.
I’m hoping to make another trip to Albany under better circumstances. The next time I travel, I’ll look into any of the other motels/​hotels in the area. While this wasn’t completely horrible and there appears to be far worse places in town, I imagine it wouldn’t take much to find solidly decent motel.

Great budget hotel. While this isn’t a fancy hotel, it’s a comfortable place to stay for someone that is a little pressed for money. We had to be in Albany for 5 days and stayed here the whole time. The staff was very fast at cleaning the room. (Gone for 20 minutes and it was clean) and the room was very clean. No bugs, and the pool was clean. The hot tub wasn’t working, but the swimming pool was great. Very nice staff as well. It was our third stay in 6 years (under 2 brands), and it has always been good. I would definitely recommend if you’re on a budget and don’t mind a few dents and dings on the walls and lights.

Not a 2 star, especially if some Marriotts can be a 2 or 2 ½ star. I know. I know. I am sounding like a snob. But Priceline dared to give it a 2 star rating.
Our downstairs room has a scenic view of a scuzzy parking lot for McDonalds, with lots of weeds. The other side of the hotel has a small buffer zone between it and the freeway. Well, at least the toilet was sanitized (I know because I personally removed the paper wrapper). The carpets were clean. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, old TV, and… no bed bugs. And check-​in was quick and pleasant. They even offer a free continental breakfast. But the facility is old an drab, folks, needs a makeover.
Whoa, hold on… there is a pair of foam ear plugs, packaged, sitting next to the complimentary shampoo etc. It crossed my mind that they may be telling us something here.
Well, we’ve seen better. But, sweet dreams… one night only.
P. S. We should have used the ear plugs! And the bed was like jello… meaning I could feel Mr. B’s every bouncy move last night. Glad this was a Priceline bidding purchase. If I had paid full price, I would have been Pi3=#%&*!sed.

This was our 3^rd stay at the Super 8 in two years and will be our last based on our experience. We got a good rate through Priceline, but was charged $ 10 per night plus tax to «upgrade» our room from a King to two doubles.
Since we were on vacation, we slept late each day and made it to the breakfast near to closing. While I understand that supplies should be running low, each day they were completely out of eggs, fruit, yogurt, and *gasp* coffee. Only small styrofoam cups were offered for juice, milk, or coffee. And the place was filthy.
The pool area was also disgusting. Moss and algae were growing everywhere. The patio furniture was dirty and broken. There was garbage everywhere, like used band-​aids and paper cups. They were always out of pool towels. The hot tub was out of order for 5 days we were there. My son had a great time, but this Mom had to grit her teeth every time he went in.
The room was adequate, if dated. It is a typical old motel. Our room faced the inner courtyard, which was better than either facing I-​5 or McDonalds. The pillows were very good and the air conditioner worked great. The worst thing about the room was the lock! It took at least 5 minutes to try and get in through a combination of holding the door closed, letting it go, sliding the key up, moving it to the right, and repeating. SO frustrating, especially when your little son has to use the bathroom after playing in the pool.
Service was good. The clerks were personable and housekeeping did a good job.
I would not recommend staying here; there are many better options in the area, especially given the hidden charges.
