Free coffee refills and budget rates make this motel tops with highway travelers..
In Short
The first Super 8 opened in Aberdeen, S.D., in 1974, charging $8.88 a night. Today, the national franchise, with its familiar red-and-yellow sign, still stands for dependable rooms at wallet-friendly prices. A staple for road-tripping families, truck drivers and tour groups, the motel offers complimentary morning coffee and continental breakfasts. Another perk for travelers: Super 8 travel cups may be refilled for free at any of the motel's locations.

Skip this hotel.
This was a sorry hotel. It was one dissapointment after another. Room seemed nice at first but after a closer look it appeared that the room had not been cleaned from the last customer. The biggest disapointment to my family was the supposably heated pool. I told the clerk on check in that my family was looking forward to the pool, and he forgot to mention that the heated part was broken. Pool could not be used as the water temp was around 50 deg. Do yourself a favor and find another hotel. Spend the extra!!! You get what you pay for, and this hotel proved it.

worst hotel stay ever.
First of all, I made my reservation online, where it said that my card would not be charged until I checked out because it was a debit card, and I did not have the funds available when I made the reservation. They charged my account anyway, then I was told that they "verify all credit cards", which means they charge you ahead of time. When I discussed this with them, they said if it was returned they would cancel my reservation. So, after they canceled my reservation, I called them back. They reserved me the same room at a higher rate and didnt require my card to be "verified". When I got there, they were not friendly, they charged me $30 more for the room, and it was smoking. When we got to the room, there were cigarette butts on the floor, 3 towels and washclothes that felt like they had been purchased at Odd Lots, and it smelled like smoke. I paid $258 + tax for a room that was usually $70 + tax just because it was Derby weekend, and I wasnt even in town for the Derby! I was there for a concert and barely spent 17 hours in the room. Then, I sent an email to Super 8 corporate, and they said this motel is franchised and I would have to speak to their manager about my situation, which is who didn't cooperate with me in the first place!! This will definitely be my last stay at a Super 8, and especially at this one.
