Rexburg's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Rexburg's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Seriously, Don't Sleep On This Place!
Alright, folks, buckle up, because I'm about to spill the beans on Rexburg's… well, let's just say it, hidden gem: the Super 8 Wyndham. I've stayed in my fair share of hotels, from swanky to slightly suspect (looking at you, roadside motel in Nevada…), and I’m here to give you the real deal. Forget the cookie-cutter reviews – this is the honest, unfiltered truth with a healthy dose of [my personal brand of ]quirk.
(TL;DR: Go. Just go. And read the rest later. You'll thank me.)
First Impressions (and the Elevator's Slightly Sticky Past):
Okay, confession time. My initial thought? "Super 8? In Rexburg? Is this gonna be a thing?" But boy, was I wrong. The exterior? Clean-ish. The parking? Ample. Free parking, mind you. A big win in my book. Getting to the room, the elevator… has seen a few things. It's not the Ritz, let's just say that. But it works. And in Rexburg, a working elevator is a luxury, trust me.
Accessibility: Rollin' In Style (Mostly!)
Now, let's talk accessibility. This is HUGE for me because, well, sometimes I just… need things to be accessible. The elevator (mentioned above!) is a major win. I didn't actually need a wheelchair for my visit, but I'm always looking out for others because I know how important it is. I saw signs mentioning accessible rooms, and while I didn't personally experience them, the presence of these facilities is already a step above a lot of places I've seen. The building layout seemed generally navigable, and the front desk staff were friendly and, from what I saw, would be happy to assist with any needs. So, big thumbs up from this reviewer on that front. I didn't see any dedicated charging stations for electric wheelchairs, but the hotel's generally accommodating environment gave me the sense that the staff would happily work with you if you needed one.
Room Shenanigans: Clean, Comfy, and the Free Wi-Fi Rocks!
The rooms. Ah, the rooms. Let's get real, nobody expects the Burj Khalifa in a Super 8, right? But honestly? Pleasantly surprised! The rooms are clean, which is my number one priority. My bed felt like a cloud. The Free Wi-Fi? Worked. Flawlessly. Seriously, this is a game-changer. I'm a remote worker, and reliable internet is basically oxygen for me. I could effortlessly stream, work, and connect with the world. The carpeting was standard, but I did a quick sniff test (don't judge me!) and it was fresh. The extra-long bed was a lifesaver. I'm a side sleeper, and I hate the feeling of my toes hanging off the bed. Plus, the blackout curtains allowed me to sleep off my jet lag. The window that opens was great for ventilation. The air-conditioning was a godsend, especially after being out in the Idaho sun. And this may be a small thing, but the coffee/tea maker made my mornings easier. And those complimentary tea packets? Yeah, I used them. Several times. I also appreciated the writing desk. And the safe box gives me some peace of mind.
Now, the bathroom. The bathroom had pretty much everything you'd expect. The soaps and shampoos were the usual suspects. The shower had great water pressure, which is vital, and, best of all, there was plenty of hot water at all times. The towels were clean, and the toiletries were adequate.
Internet, Internet, Internet! (And I Cannot Stress This Enough)
Okay, I need to bang on this drum again. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms is legendary. I'm talking Netflix marathons, Zoom calls that didn't drop once, and actually working in peace. Forget fiddling with public Wi-Fi that barely handles email. This is the real deal. They get it. No Internet [LAN], which can be annoying, but frankly the Wi-Fi being as consistent as it was made the lack of a LAN a non-issue.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Well, Sort Of…):
Okay, let’s be honest: Rexburg isn’t exactly a culinary mecca. Within the hotel itself, there isn't a true restaurant, but they do offer breakfast. I am not a breakfast person, but I still appreciated the variety. No complaints there for a budget hotel. They have a coffee shop but it offered a really basic selection, but the breakfast was nice.
A Note on Cleanliness and Safety (Because, 2024):
Alright, let's get serious for a moment. This is where Super 8 Wyndham shines. I felt safe. They had a CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and security [24-hour]. The focus on cleanliness and hygiene was excellent. I saw staff regularly disinfecting common areas. The daily disinfection in common areas gave me some peace of mind. And the fact that they're offering things like hand sanitizer and encouraging physical distancing of at least 1 meter shows they’re taking things seriously. I also saw that there was a doctor/nurse on call, which is a nice comfort to have.
Things to Do / Ways to Relax (Rexburg-Style):
Look, Rexburg isn’t Miami. But it has its charm. The hotel doesn't have a spa, but there is a fitness center on site, and while it's basic, I saw some guests using it. There's a swimming pool [outdoor]. Also, I wouldn't have expected it, but I know that there's lots to do and see within a short drive like Mesa Falls, or the Museum of Clean.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They offer daily housekeeping, which is essential. There's a concierge to assist with any questions you may have. There's a cash withdrawal machine on-site. And they have facilities for disabled guests, which is greatly appreciated. The laundry service is available if you need it, and a luggage storage is available too. They even have a convenience store where you can buy essentials. They even have a meeting/banquet facilities and a business facilities if you have to be a boring adult and conduct some business.

Mumbai's Hidden Gem: Atlas Plaza Hotel - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my Rexburg, Idaho adventure, Super 8 style. Forget perfectly curated itineraries – this is the raw, unfiltered truth of my pilgrimage to the potato capital, and let me tell you, it was… well, something.
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and the Mysteriously Lumpy Mattress
3:00 PM - Check-in at Super 8 Rexburg, ID. Okay, first impressions: the lobby smelled vaguely of chlorine and ambition. The woman at the desk looked like she'd seen things – probably a lot of confused BYU-Idaho students asking for extra towels. Got my key card, felt the familiar stab of pre-trip anxiety. Are the sheets clean? Will I encounter a rogue cockroach? These are the questions that keep a traveler up at night.
3:30 PM - Room Reconnaissance. My room. Okay, it's… functional. The TV is one of those ancient tube models that probably weighs the same as a small car. And the mattress? Oh, the mattress. I swear it had lumps. Like, strategically placed lumps. Was this some sort of Rexburg-specific wellness program? "Sleep on the lump… feel the enlightenment"? I spent a good five minutes poking and prodding it, convinced I'd find a hidden stash of… something. Turns out, just lumps. Real lumps.
4:00 PM - The Great Potato Quest Begins (Aka, Grocery Run). Feeling the need to… ground myself. Plus, I needed snacks. Headed to the local grocery store – a surprisingly bustling affair. The sheer variety of potato products was overwhelming. Potato chips in every flavor imaginable. Frozen potato waffles, potato pierogies, potato skins… It was a beautiful, starchy symphony. I bought a bag of cheddar and sour cream chips, a Diet Coke (balance, people, balance), and a small bag of frozen baby potatoes. I figured I could probably boil the potatoes in the questionable coffee maker, you know, for "dinner".
5:00 PM - Rest and Resentment. Went back to the hotel, and started my "dinner" I am sitting on my bed and watching TV. The TV, with it's ancient design is better than my phone. I decided to turn to the channel of "reality TV" and started watching any shows with people living their lives, as I started to feel a bit alone.
6:00 PM - The Idaho Potato Museum. A Spiritual Experience. Okay, hold on to your hats, because this was the highlight. The museum was… glorious. Packed to the gills with potato history, potato art (yes, really), and potato-based contraptions I still have no idea how they work. I learned that the humble potato is a truly remarkable spud. There was a genuine reverence for the potato that was… touching. I teared up a little at the "tater tot timeline". Don't judge me. It was beautiful. I took photos. Lots of photos. I may have bought a potato-shaped stress ball. Don't ask.
8:00 PM - Back to the Room of Lumps. I ate my baby potatoes (they were… edible), contemplated the meaning of life, and eventually succumbed to the allure of the lumpy mattress. Sleep was patchy. Dreams involved being chased by giant, sentient potato wedges.
Day 2: Mormon Temple, Meltdown, and the Quest for Decent Coffee
7:00 AM - Wake Up in A Fog. The sun rose, the sky looked like the same color as the wall, and I woke up to a dull pain from my back, from the "mattress." I turned to my phone, to see if I can find some nice coffee, and a nice place to visit.
8:00 AM - Quest for Coffee. I decided to get coffee in the early morning, and got ready. The walk wasn't too long, and I'm pretty excited to get some coffee.
8:30 AM - Temple Time. I stood by the Temple, and looked at how many people are in the area, and I'm starting to feel out of place. It was a majestic building, I'll give it that. But damn, it felt different. I'm not going to lie, I felt like an outsider. It would have been better to get a tour of the area, but I wanted to be alone.
9:30 AM - Food. I wanted some food, but I really didn't know where to go. Most of the places that I went to were closed, and I started to feel hungry as I sat and walked. I just looked up a place to eat and drove there.
10:30 AM - Meltdown. I started to feel overwhelmed, feeling anxious, and just a sense of sadness. Then the tears started to come, and I went back to the hotel not wanting to do anything.
12:00 PM - Recovery. I'm starting to feel better, and I start to plan some things to do for the rest of the day.
1:00 PM - The Drive To The Falls. I decided to not stay at the hotel, and visit the area.
2:00 PM - The Falls. The Falls was pretty cool, the view was beautiful.
3:00 PM - Snack Time. I went to a local store and got some snacks, some hot cheetos and a cookie.
4:00 PM - The Drive to the hotel. I'm ready and tired, ready to go to bed.
5:00 PM - Back to the Room of Lumps. I ate my snacks, and watched TV, and prepare for bed. Sleep was ok, and I have mixed feelings about this trip.
Day 3: Goodbye Rexburg, Hello… Wherever.
7:00 AM - Check Out The woman was the desk, but I feel like she had a different expression.
8:00 AM - Farewell. Left the hotel, and starting to feel less anxious. I will be back soon to the city, and I'm looking forward to be back.
So… there you have it. Rexburg through my slightly warped, potato-fueled eyes. It wasn't perfect. It was messy. It was… real. And honestly? That's the best kind of trip, isn't it? It's the trip that leaves you with memories, a slightly bruised back, and a newfound appreciation for the humble spud.

Rexburg's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Buckle Up, Buttercups!
Wait, SUPER 8 in Rexburg? Seriously? Is this a joke?
Okay, okay, I get it. Super 8 in Rexburg? Sounds about as glamorous as a potato peeler at a debutante ball. But hear me out! I, a weary traveler (okay, more like a college student scraping by), stumbled upon this place, and let me tell you, it's a *vibe*. It's not the Ritz, obviously. Think of it as that comfy sweater you secretly adore, despite the occasional snag. I went in with ZERO expectations… and left mostly… pleasantly surprised. Seriously, if you're on a budget and need a place to crash during a BYU-Idaho visit, or you're in the area for whatever reason, read on. You might – *might* – be converted.
The Free Breakfast... Tell Me Everything. This is Make or Break.
Alright, alright, the breakfast. The lifeblood of any budget-conscious traveler. Here's the glorious truth: It's a mixed bag, honey. One day, I swear, I walked in and they had perfectly golden waffles. Another day? Let's just say the "eggs" resembled something vaguely…yellow. The *coffee*? Hit or miss. Sometimes it was a glorious, caffeinated elixir. Other times... well, let's just say it's a good thing I'm not overly picky. They usually have the standard fare: cereal (the good kind!), toast, maybe some fruit if you're lucky. But that waffle maker? That, my friend, is the key to happiness. When it's working, it's worth the entire stay. I once saw a guy down like, six waffles. No judgment. I wanted to join him.
Okay, but the *Room*?! What about the room! Is it clean? Like, actually clean?
Cleanliness is subjective, right? Okay, seriously, don't expect pristine, hospital-grade cleanliness. But from my experience, *mostly* clean. Look, it's an older building. There might be a tiny stain on the carpet you'd rather not think about. I can't promise you a spotless inspection. But! The sheets always seemed freshly washed. The bathroom... usually passable. And the best part? That sweet, sweet air conditioning. This is Rexburg, folks. Summers can get HOT. Trust me on this. The AC is an absolute savior. I'd give it a solid B- for cleanliness. Room for improvement, but not a complete disaster.
Anything *Actually* Good? What Makes It Worth It?
First of all, the price. You're getting incredible value for what you pay. Secondly, the staff. I’ve always found the people at the front desk to be genuinely kind. They actually seem to *care* about making sure you’re comfortable, which is surprisingly rare these days! Then, there’s the location. It's in a pretty decent spot, super convenient for getting around Rexburg. Seriously, you're probably going to save a lot of money here, and that is the ultimate win-win.
The Wi-Fi – A Traveler's Lifeline. Is It Any Good?
Oh, the Wi-Fi. The bane of my existence, sometimes. It's functional. Let's just say that. Don't expect blazing-fast speeds. It can be a little…spotty. But it's usually enough to check your email, watch a little Netflix, and get your work done. Just don't try to upload a massive video. Or download a huge game. You'll be there all night. Patience is key. Honestly, its connection is a major reason to stay here, and I've never had it go unoperative.
Alright, Anything REALLY Bad? Like, a Dealbreaker?
Okay, okay, let's get real. My *biggest* gripe? The noise. This isn’t the hotel’s fault, but the walls are thin, people. You hear *everything*. Neighbors blasting their TV at 3 AM during a football game? Check. The incessant hum of the ice machine? Double check. Late-night revelers returning from…well, you get the picture. Bring earplugs. Seriously. Invest in those little wax plugs or something. You’ll thank me later. It can be rough.
The Pool!? Does it have a pool? Because that’s everything.
Nope, it...doesn't have a pool. Sorry, pool-people. You're out of luck.
Parking Situation? Easy? A nightmare?
Parking is pretty easy, actually! There's ample parking, so you probably will get to park up close. Especially if you're visiting during a busy event – there's plenty of spaces. Its a good perk among a lot of other hotels nearby.
I heard things... About the Beds... are they comfortable?
Okay, this is where it gets dicey. The beds are… well, they’re not the cloud-like havens of luxury you find in fancy hotels. Let's just say they're functional. They're not *terrible*, but they're not going to win any awards for comfort. They're a little on the firm side, and the pillows...oh, the pillows. They're those sad, flat things that offer minimal support. Bring your own pillow if you're picky. You'll be glad you did. Honestly, sometimes I just piled up extra blankets.
What About the Vending Machines? Are they stocked? Tempting?
The vending machines...Ah, a tale of two cities. Sometimes, they're overflowing with sugary goodness and salty snacks. Other times, they look like the apocalypse happened. Half empty, with the occasional lonely bag of chips staring mournfully at you. It's a gamble. But, hey, that's part of the Super 8 charm, right?
