Super 8 by Wyndham Mt. Vernon IL

Super 8 by Wyndham Mt. Vernon IL

8/10 Good
"Comfy bed and working A/C and those are musts for me! Never fun to turn the shower on and see hair still left from previous guests, but I lived. I’ve stayed here multiple times and again, I know I’m getting a decent bed at a good price. I’ll use them again if needed, but the whole place could be cleaner. Also, due to road construction, the exit to this property was closed. I had to drive an extra 15 minutes to find a place to turn around. After a long day and being exhausted those extra minutes were quite annoying. Parking was great!"
