π« Please Don’t Use Trivago Deals: My Super 8 Hotel Horror Story
Location: 9798 Saint Charles Rock Road, St. Louis, MO 63114
Rating: 0 out of 5 roaches πͺ³
Let me just say this before I begin — if a deal sounds too good to be true, baby, it probably comes with free bugs and broken promises!
So, picture this: I’m scrolling through Trivago looking for a quick, affordable place to crash while in St. Louis. I see a “deal” pop up for the Super 8 Hotel. The pictures looked decent, the price was right, and the website proudly said “Free Breakfast Included.” I thought, “Okay, let me save a few coins.”
Mistake number one.
π¨ The Check-In Disaster
I walk in, and the energy felt… off. The lobby was giving “don’t breathe too deep” and the carpet had seen better decades. The front desk clerk looked like she wanted to clock out 6 hours ago. But I kept my cool — I’m just here to rest, right?
Wrong.
The moment I opened the door to my room, I froze.
Because staring back at me — bold, unbothered, and ready to claim their space — were roaches. Big ones. Tiny ones. The whole extended family reunion was crawling like it was Soul Train line on my nightstand.
I had to blink twice because I thought maybe my travel stress was making me hallucinate. Nope. Roach City, population: too many.
π³ The Breakfast That Never Was
Now, remember that “Free Breakfast” Trivago bragged about?
Well, apparently the Health Department had other plans. They shut it down — yes, the entire kitchen. But somehow, the website still had “continental breakfast included” like it was IHOP in disguise.
The front desk lady just shrugged and said, “We don’t serve breakfast no more.” No refund, no apology, not even a muffin. Just vibes and vermin.
π¬ The Final Straw
As if roaches and a canceled breakfast weren’t enough, I looked at the bed and saw cigarette burns in the blanket — not one, not two, but a whole polka-dot pattern of ash history. It was giving “hotel crime scene from the 90s.”
At that point, I packed up my things so fast you’d think I saw a ghost. Nope — just another roach crawling up the curtain.
π§³ My Lesson Learned
Let me tell you this loud and clear:
Don’t book through Trivago without checking the reviews, recent pictures, and whether the place still even passes inspection.
Because baby, the only thing “free” about that Super 8 was the trauma.
So next time you see that too-good-to-be-true rate, remember my story — and maybe spend that extra $20 for peace of mind and a clean breakfast plate.
