Super 8 Flint Burton Area

Avoid this place if you possibly can

This appears to be the local weekend gathering spot for young adults who otherwise still live at home. We noticed one room with at least 6 people staying in it...and two beds. The beer flows, the music plays, the outside games go on...all until well after midnight. The motel staff doesn’t care. Trash isn’t picked up until Monday, and even then we saw some barbecued ribs lying around right outside the lobby. The lobby has bullet-resistant plexiglass enclosing all of the employees’ reception desk area. Does that tell you what kind of people the place expects? Thursday and Sunday nights were okay, but weekends? Forget it. The rates aren’t *that* cheap; find someplace else.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

We saved maybe $15 to $20 a night by staying in this dump. Do yourself a favor and spend that much to stay someplace better.

Cheap but not a great value

The digital clock was broken, the TV remote was spotty, the toilet took minutes to refill after a flush. Clerk at front desk did not seem familiar with the protocol for registration.
