The Super 8 Motel in Vacaville is a great place to stay if you wish to shop at the outlet mall across the street. This is one of the largest outlet malls in the area and the motel is clean and adequate. The beds were firm and the staff was very friendly and helpful. This hotel is good value for the money and per friendly.

The thing that saves this hotel is that it is cheap. The elevator was broken when I was there. The service was not that pleasant. The room was decent. It was a place where I could sleep but I wouldn't bring too many people here.

I screwed up our reservations for our annual Thanksgiving trip to Vacaville and had rebook at the last minute. There's never anything good left (although why Vacaville aka "Cow Town" is a destination spot is far beyond my ability to reason) so we were stuff with Super 8.

The good - It was cheap. They got our reservation right and it was mostly clean. There was an elevator. They offered free wireless internet. There was a safe in the room. It was cheap.

The bad - the bathtub was stained and the plug didn't work so I had to keep filling the tub. The bathroom was tiny. The halls were dark and dingy. I had to search to find an electric plug to charge my cellphone. The beds were hard (but we find that's almost always true in hotels). Lots of traffic noise. The alarm clock was set (not by us) for 6am. Thanks. We needed more towels (they provided 3 when we reserved the room for 4 people). They couldn't bring them up so we had to go down to get them. DId I mention they were postage stamp sized? The receptionist sat behind a thick wall of plexiglass. Very inviting. "Continental breakfast" was a choice of two different kinds of muffins (in plastic wrap), coffee, black tea, or two juice-like liquids. There was no blow drier (okay, I know that's getting picky, but since I'm being critical). The comforter had holes in it. There were no extra pillows or blankets.

So, bottom line? I wouldn't stay there again. The Best Western down the street was also an... interesting experience, but at least it made for good stories later. This place was just depressing.
