What guests think

Across reviews of Super 8 by Wyndham Baxter/Brainerd Area, guests describe a budget stay with a convenient location, mixed cleanliness, dated but serviceable rooms, simple breakfast, and generally friendly yet occasionally inconsistent service, with some noise and maintenance issues noted.

Several guests liked the comfortable beds and appreciated early check-in, pet-friendly policies, and easy parking. Repeated reports cite dirty or poorly maintained bathrooms, musty carpets, slow drains, thin walls and hallway noise, plus broken fixtures; the building is older with no elevator and occasional laundry outages. Best suited to short, no-frills stays on a budget.

No elevator for 2nd floor. Slept in room right next to stairway, heard everyone who came up the stairs. Gap on bottom of door would allow anyone who wanted to peak under door into room.

Room was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful and a nice breakfast was served in the morning. Restaurants, fuel and shopping nearby. Easy to find and roomy parking lot for our truck and boat trailer. Pet friendly and washer and dryer available.

The parking lot has no parking. Our room smelled like cat urine. Beds are hard and pillows are barely anything to them. Only reason we booked here was because every other hotel was booked amd we needed something close.

parking was full so i had to walk quite a distance with all my things and a disability, only to get there and realize there's no elevator. im mobile enough to make it work but it was a struggle. it was an older facility so it could only get so clean, which the rating didn't really indicate that, but now i know. also it was seriously noisy the whole time so i barely slept. the housekeeping ppl started vacuuming on sat morning at 830 which is frankly too early, and there was no dnd sign to hang out. the room was okay except the light by the door didn't work. It was mostly clean but it was stagnant smelling and had an general feeling of "old carpet". staff was nice and responsive but overall im not going to go back again.

Convenient and affordable stay for a short trip! Decent option for free breakfast and comfortable beds. Love this option for when we need to bring our dog since they are pet friendly. Drawbacks is that our room smelled like cigarette smoke even though it's supposedly no-smoking and the towel rack was broken off the wall. Otherwise, everything was fine and we'd stay again for a quick stay passing through.

Rooma were not vacuumed or mopped and there was hair all over the bathrooms. We were offered three separate rooms and all were very poorly cleaned. All had hair all over in the bathrooms. Microwaves were dirty. Sheets had a large dark circle (hopefully just a stain) in the third room. We brought our own bedding to cover the bed with so I didn't see this until the morning.

The location is easily located. The experience was bad from the lack of food at the breakfast to the shower that would not drain and dirty room, we had mold in the bathroom Only one of the outlets works I had to buy an extension cord to plug in a cepac machine.

The staff was friendly and the parking was convenient. It was a bit pricey considering the rooms were very dated... musty smelling, sticky carpeting, and shower definitely needed some deep cleaning/fresh caulking. We were only there to sleep overnight and were gone early so it suited or needs. Would probably not stay again though.

This hotel is very basic and just ok. It is getting old and is showing wear and tear. The whole hotel needs new rug in all the rooms, hallways and stairs. My room was large and clean but looked old and cheap. The bed was comfortable, but the frame squeaked when I got in and out of it. The room TV was very large and had more channels than I could ever watch. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The free breakfast was the usual free breakfast at a hotel. If you need just a one night stay or if you really have a tight budget, this place is for you.

Bathroom has been redone and quite nice but sparse on soap stuff. No lotion. Many outlets didn’t work or at least to charge my phone…only bathroom one would. Nice fridge and microwave! Bed was comfortable pillows could be better. A/C worked great. I didn’t have a “Do Not Disturb” placard. Shower head too high!!

My mind is blown. We spent just about $200 ($188) for one night for a room that had AC that smelled like burnt hair and a lock that was literally off the hinges. I will only relate my one experiences but I’ve only stayed in a room once like that and it was about $70 in a bad suburb of Kansas City. Not an up north MN town where people vacation. This was the worst room I’ve ever had for $200 a night? We took pictures of the lock.

My wife and I stay at this Super 8 twice a year when we attend the races at BIR ~ It's always consistently clean and the staff is always friendly ~ Great chairs to chill out at the end of the day and watch the 'Gateway to Up North' 371 for a little while... Breakfast is serviceable but lets face it, there's plenty of places in Brainerd-Baxter that have amazing breakfasts so we usually only have the coffee ~ See ya' next year S-8...
