A large group came in around 9:30 and was extremely loud. It sounded like revelers and musical slamming doors. After 20 minutes of this disturbance, I phoned the lobby with a barely functioning room phone. I know they heard this ruckus as there were two open stairways to the front desk. They should have intervened much sooner than they did. The noise went on for 45 minutes. At 12:30 am the noise began again. So, not much sleep that night. The "motel" seemed proud of all of their no smoking signs, even on every door. However enforcement obviously was NOT on the agenda The room smelled of smoke and there was cigarette burns on the carpeting of the hallways and stairs. If there were more honest reviews of the problems with this motel, I certainly wouldn't have stayed there. If you want a peaceful and smoke free facility, I wouldn't recommend the Dekalb Super 8 as the place to be.

Water

The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. However, the shower pressure was horrible, pool was over chlorinated and cold. The breakfast offereings were a basic grab and go, plus cereal.

The overall property was nice, clean and accessible. However I do not recommend staying on the 1st floor. If you do. Prepare to sleep with ear muffs and forget if you have work to do in your room. As some upstairs guest can be very noisy as you hear everything above you. When you tell the front desk. They. Basically tell you to deal with it.
