“good stop over”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

person found this review helpful

WE were planning on heading back to New Brunswick on the return to Maine and did not want to drive all the way to Moncton or St. John, and maybe drive over to Joggins if we had time the next morning. The Super 8 was the first motel we saw, so we pulled over and checked for senior or AARP rates, which they gave us (I later checked and the rate we got walking in the door was the same as we would get online). A very comfortable stay, restaurants were close by. Breakfast was standard but fresher than most.

“Clean, well maintained, good price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

It is better in person that the photos online. We book all our reservations online and depend on the pictures to give us a visual. This was a well maintained motel with an easy freeway location. We need to use the front desk staff several times and they were always helpful. This is just what you are looking for if you are not seeking resort style lodging.

Disabled: They have a handicap room.

“Great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stopped here after encountering some treacherous road conditions during a harsh winter storm. The motel was mostly full, but we were able to get a "junior suite." The military discount we received reduced the price to what we would expect for a standard room. The suite was very nice. Spotlessly clean and everything was in good condition. We were very happy with the friendly service we received at check in and check out, and the continental breakfast was plentiful and varied. We were impressed enough by this visit that we sought out another Super 8 for another unplanned motel stay later in our trip and we were similarly impressed by the second location.

“Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

people found this review helpful

The Super 8 is inexpensive and an overall good value. The hotel is literally right off the highway. Easy to find. We stayed on the highway side and traffic noise was not an issue. Room was clean though we found a piece of popcorn on the floor from the previous tenant. Otherwise, spotless. The beds are firm. Rooms big. Good high speed Internet. All the basics you need. Helpful and friendly staff.

The breakfast was standard continental and was fine. This adds value to the package.

Good place if you are stopping for one night or need a cheap, reliable base in Amherst.
