I stayed at a super 8 in Kentucky - it was kind of poorly kept and I nearly got electrocuted by a bad wire on a light plug.

I stayed at a super 8 in Pennsylvania - poorly kept.

The super 8 in Memphis Tennessee was terrible. The tub was half full with the water running a 1/2" stream. I asked for a different room, and the sink was running continuously in it. Bugs smashed all over the walls. This one took the prize. It was the worst place I was ever in, including a barn I once slept in when growing up.

Bottom line, I think the entire chain has problems. Some are much worse than others. I have crossed super 8 off my list completely. I would sleep in my car before going back to one. So don’t think it is unique to Ohio. There should be plenty of decent hotels in the Columbus area, but living here I never stay in them.
