Typical Super 8, however this was the first motel i stayed in after 2 weeks that had a free USA Today newspaper available. The motel is a 3 storey block with an internal elevator, there is an indoor pool by reception that seems to be unavailable during the afternoons because local mothers us it for child swimming lessons. My room was average size, clean and with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was the usual Super 8 fare. There is a Dennys next to the motel.

We had a 34 hr. down time, so we got a room at the super 8. Its a decent hotel, everyone is nice, there are 3 or 4 choices for dining, Dennys right next door gives a 10% discount if you have your room key, if you are an AARP member you get 20% off how great is that?
My problem was the tax charge on our stay. We got trucker rates, so 67.90 a night, until tax is added. bringing it up to 75.03 a night. I couldn't believe it was so high. I guess thats the price we pay for a hot bath, a confortable bed to stretch out in.
It is great place to stay as long as you budget isn't to tight.

It was clean, quiet and priced right. Not fancy but more than adequate and the breakfast had enough options for everyone to find something they liked. Waffles, hard boiled eggs, cereal and more. Again, good value.

I have been staying at the Ferndale Super 8 for years - it's the most convenient location for visiting my NW Washington relatives, and I've always found the staff helpful, have never had a problem with my reservation or my room, and I would definitely recommend it. By no means is it 5 star, but for under $80/night, it's a good value.

And, as others have said, its proximity to the 5 as well as McDonalds and Dennys make it even more appealing, not to mention the pool and hot tub.

Oh and the mini-fridge & microwave in the room make it even easier when travelling with small children!
