Since we are trying to take a break from tenting every few days on our way down the coast, we might try to take advantage of this. Thanks, Linsey!

And Kristen, while it's been a while since I stayed at one, I don't remember them being too terrible. And if they now have internet, that's one of our main concerns. So, we'll definitely be looking into this.Wahoo! Affordable bedrest!!

I didn't know about trip advisor. We will check it out.

I've heard mixed reviews about Super 8 (I used to work in the hotel industry). The best thing you can do is research the location and look at reviews (kudos to Lucille!)

One thing I'd like to add is that it depends on what you plan to do. If you plan to spend very little time in your room (other than sleeping), then it might be worth the deal if it's clean and comfortable. For a romantic night away from the kids, splurge and go for something better (unless the thrill of a cheap motel is part of the fun...)

For me, travel isn't about the room we stay in, that's just a place to crash for a few hours, so this is a great deal! THanks for sharing!

When I was single, staying on the cheap was a no brainer, and if the place was a dump with hookers and drug dealers, even better. Now that we have kids, we have become way more discriminating in where we stay. The kids couldn't care less, but my wife won't buy into the collegiate mentality that embraces filth and squalor. With that in mind, the most important issue, hands down, is cleanliness.

We've stayed at Super 8s, and they seemed fine, though we've never made a reservation for one. Seems counter to the whole approach to motels, but it is a great deal. So while this doesn't apply to the $8 deal, you can always check the room out before you sign the dotted line. I've yet to find a motel that made issue of this.

Thanks for the heads up, Linsey. Always looking for a way to save $$ when we road trip.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere it is $8.88 per person, read the fine print. I am going to give it a try though, I just need a place to sleep for a few hours, so I'm not that picky this time.

Thanks so much for this info! I was able to book a room for a trip we're taking in November. The hotel is in Sedona AZ, and rooms are usually $140-$150 a night. We're just looking for a place to crash, and this fits the bill (and our budget!).

Thanks for the promo info. I just realized tonight is the last night.

For anyone who was able to get a room...is there anything in particular you did to get thru? I've been trying since the promo started each night at 7:59 and STILL have no luck.

I need a room for our vacation to Orlando in September. :)

Keep me updated..

Thanks!
