Once a year SCUBA Divers from Illinois, Michigan and Ohio convene upon the town of Bonne Terre Missouri to dive in the underground caverns of Bonne Terre Mine, a 5 star PADI dive site. The Super 8 is in a convenient location to this dive site and right next door is the Huddle House which is a truck stop that serves a good hot breakfast.

The staff at the Super 8 are always very polite. The rooms are always very clean, the beds are great and they have good hot water. No it's not the Ritz Carlton or the Hyatt but for the price and for what we are doing it is just fine and very comfortable. Since we know far in advance that we are going to this destination we tell everyone to book early or there won't be any room for them. It is always filled to capacity when we go. And if you are a diver, they have a diver rate which is different from the regular price, you only have to ask.

I've been coming to this hotel for the last 7 or 8 years and only had one instance where I didn't care for the staff. I got there late at night and I had to find the desk clerk, who was next door chatting it up with the wait staff of the Huddle House.
