Murfreesboro Getaway: Unbeatable Deals at Super 8!
Murfreesboro Getaway: Super 8, Seriously? My Unfiltered Take
Okay, so Murfreesboro. Let's be real, it's not exactly known for its luxurious resorts. This Super 8? Well, it's a… Super 8. And like any Super 8, it delivers what you expect, and maybe, just maaaybe, a little bit more. Let's dive into this messy, honest, and utterly unvarnished review.
Accessibility: Straightforward, but Not a Showstopper
Right off the bat, the wheelchair accessibility seemed… okay. They say they have the facilities, but honestly, I didn't test it out. The elevator was present (phew!), which is always a win. Facilities for disabled guests are supposedly there, but I couldn't tell you exactly how well-equipped they were. So, a solid "maybe" with a side of "check it yourself if it's crucial."
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Crickets
Don't go expecting a gourmet dining experience. There's no on-site restaurant or lounge. You're on your own for food and drinks people, unless you're cool with the vending machine. Which, sometimes, I am the vending machine type.
Internet: Bless the Free Wi-Fi! Seriously.
Okay, let's be real, in this day and age, free Wi-Fi is a godsend. And this Super 8, bless its heart, delivers. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woohoo! And it actually WORKS. I'm talking streaming Netflix without buffering (mostly). There's also, apparently, some Internet access [LAN] which I'm guessing is for ancient computer setups? I just stuck with the glorious, reliable Wi-Fi [free]. They've got Wi-Fi in public areas, too, which is clutch for those desperate moments when you've managed to leave your room key somewhere. Internet services? Probably the usual – the capability to check your email. Nothing groundbreaking.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Don't Hold Your Breath (Unless You Like Saunas?)
Alright, let's be honest, the "things to do" at this Super 8 aren't exactly a selling point. No spa/sauna situation going on. Forget the Body scrub, Body wrap, or the Foot bath dreams. They've got a swimming pool [outdoor], but it looked a little… tired. I didn't even check the Pool with view part because, well, what view could this Super 8 possibly have? I'd bet it of the parking lot. There is a Fitness center, which I didn't explore, because, vacation. The Gym/fitness is also out there, presumably.
Cleanliness and Safety: Trying Hard, At Least
Okay, this is important. With everything going on, how clean is it? The Anti-viral cleaning products are a good sign. Hand sanitizer was readily available, which is always welcome. They've got Daily disinfection in common areas. They're trying, I'll give them that. Rooms sanitized between stays, and Staff trained in safety protocol – good, good, good. The Hygiene certification probably means they’re going above and beyond the bare minimum anyway. The Safe dining setup is a nice detail. More importantly, they have Smoke alarms. ALWAYS important. Rooms sanitized between stays, although, I didn't witness any actual sanitization, so just take their word for it. The First aid kit may or may not be present, but I'm not going hunting for it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: You Get What You Pay For
Be realistic. You are NOT going to the Ritz. The Breakfast [buffet] is probably a standard continental offering – waffles, cereal, some questionable pastries. They do have Breakfast service, which is better than nothing, and they offer Breakfast takeaway service. I may have snuck a waffle out one day – don’t tell anyone! There is also a Coffee shop, probably with a Keurig machine in the lobby and a sad little pot of coffee next to the breakfast bar. They might have a Snack bar, too. I didn't see one. Anything else? Nope.
Services and Conveniences: The Basics, Baby!
They've got your basics covered. Air conditioning in public area, a Concierge (probably a helpful person at the front desk), Daily housekeeping, an Elevator, Laundry service, Luggage storage, and a Smorking area. Xerox/fax in business center? Probably to scan that coupon. And, they have the crucial Front desk [24-hour]. Cash withdrawal. Useful, if you need cash. Car park [free of charge] YES! Free parking! Car park [on-site] Also yes.
For the Kids: Minimal, But Hey, It's Affordable
If you're traveling with kids, don't expect a mini-waterpark. They have Family/child friendly and Kids meal, although I have no idea what constitutes a kid’s meal in this context.
Access: Straightforward, But Not Always Obvious
They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, which is good. Check-in/out [express]? Yep. Check-in/out [private]? Maybe. It's a Super 8, so if you book a private room, all I can say is lucky you.
Available in All Rooms: Your Everyday Comforts (And Some Strange Extras)
You're getting the basics. Air conditioning, an Alarm clock. Bathroom Phone? Maybe. Bathtub, Blackout curtains are always a good idea. Coffee/tea maker (thank god!), and a Daily housekeeping is nice. Desk, an Extra long bed. Free bottled water. In-room safe box. Internet access – wireless. An Ironing facilities, which is what I use to steam my clothes . Mini bar. I wouldn't trust anything in it, and I wouldn't put anything in it to be fair. Non-smoking room. On-demand movies. Private bathroom. Reading light. Refrigerator. Satellite/cable channels. Separate shower/bathtub. Shower, Slippers (nice touch!). Smoke detector. Soundproofing. Telephone. Towels. Wake-up service. Window that opens. See. Basic.
My Honest Conclusion: It's a Super 8, But…
Look, it's a Hotel chain. It's not the Four Seasons. But the non-smoking rooms were actually clean. The Wi-Fi [free] was a lifesaver. The staff were friendly and helpful. It’s affordable, and, for a quick trip to Murfreesboro, it’s fine. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’ll get the job done. And sometimes, that's all you need.
Chico's BEST Kept Secret: Oxford Suites Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Alright, buckle up, Buttercups, because you're about to get the unvarnished truth about… drumroll … Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and the Super 8 by Wyndham! This isn't your polished travel brochure, folks. This is raw, unfiltered, and probably a little bit insane. Let's see if I can actually pull this off… My head's already spinning just thinking about it.
Day 1: The Arrival (and the Mild Panic)
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at the Super 8. Okay, deep breaths. Finding the place wasn't the biggest struggle, GPS and all, but that last turn? Almost clipped a… what was that, a gargantuan inflatable… something? Anyway, finally here. Checking in. The lobby smells faintly of… ambition? And industrial cleaning supplies. The lady behind the counter seems friendly enough, but I get the distinct feeling she's seen some things. Probably involving late-night snack runs and suspicious-looking characters. Praying my room doesn't.
- 2:30 PM: Room check. Ahem. Okay, the bedspread… let's just say it's a statement piece. Not sure what it's saying, but it's saying something. The bathroom is… functional. And the tiny, adorable, complimentary shampoo bottles? I'm a sucker for those. I'm already imagining my hair smelling like… well, something generic. The Wi-Fi? Pray for me.
- 3:00 PM: Okay, I'm going to be honest: I'm starting to get the jitters. This trip was supposed to be relaxing. I think I packed too much, so I'm going to put it out of my mind.
- 3:30 PM: Attempting to unpack. Realized I forgot my phone charger. Sigh. This is going to be a theme, isn't it? Heading out later in the day to find a gas station or something, and buy one.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: I have to go out. Gotta find a charger, and some dinner. Maybe I can find something good nearby. I saw some chain restaurants, but I'm trying to find something more local.
- 6:00 PM: Found an amazing local BBQ joint. Got some ribs. Holy moly. Absolutely worth the struggle to find. This is what I came to Murfreesboro for!
Day 2: "Historical" Adventures and… Coffee
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Realized I slept like a log. Actually, a really old, creaky, likely haunted log. Coffee time! The free coffee downstairs is… well, it's coffee. It'll do. I'm probably going to try to find a local coffee shop today.
- 8:00 AM: Okay, let's do this! Heading out to see the Stones River National Battlefield. This one is supposed to be important, at least. History is… well, it's history. Hopefully it's not too hot. Tennessee heat is brutal.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Stones River National Battlefield. Okay, it was… surprisingly moving? The sheer scope of the Civil War, all that history, it hits you right in the feels. Walking around the grounds, imagining the battles… wow. Okay, I'm glad I saw it. (And the heat wasn't as bad as I thought.)
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a local diner. I’m craving something good.
- 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM: I've decided to double down on the history theme, and I have a secret to share. I'm going to revisit Stones River National Battlefield! Going back to that battlefield, though, it's more about the feeling. The sheer immensity of it, the weight of it all. The silence on that battlefield felt… deeper. I felt a pull, a need to linger.
- 6:00 PM: Back to the Super 8. Shower. Dinner. Sleep.
- 7:00 PM: Honestly, I was so exhausted from the day, I just… slept.
Day 3: The Departure (and the Bitter Sweetness)
- 7:00 AM: Last morning! Wake up. Coffee. Shower. Packing is… a struggle. Did I mention I overpacked?
- 8:00 AM: Check out. Saying goodbye to the Super 8. Okay, it wasn't the Ritz, but it was… memorable. In its own… specific way.
- 8:30 AM: One last breakfast, just to soak it all in.
- 9:00 AM: On the road. Goodbye, Murfreesboro!
Final Thoughts (The Honest Truth)
Murfreesboro: Surprisingly charming! The Super 8: Let's just say it added character.
I came, I saw, I… experienced. It wasn’t all roses. There were awkward moments, minor inconveniences, and a whole lot of internal conflict. But that's the whole point, right? It's about the journey, not the perfectly curated Instagram post. And if that journey involves a questionable bedspread and some amazing BBQ, sign me up. I'm not sure if I'll be back. But if I do, I'll know what to expect, and I'll be ready for it.
