Super 8 by Wyndham celebrates 50 years with $8.88 room rates

02-08-24

To mark its 50th anniversary, Super 8 by Wyndham is offering rooms at $8.88 per night, echoing its original 1974 rates. Starting August 8, this limited-time promotion is available to Wyndham Rewards members via the Super 8 website.

Established in 1974 in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Super 8 by Wyndham has grown into a global brand with over 2,600 locations. Originally, rooms cost $8.88, and gasoline was just 53 cents per gallon in the U.S. Today, after a $140 million brand renovation, Super 8 hotels feature modern amenities, stylish furniture, and unique local artwork headboards, providing a contemporary and comfortable stay while retaining their classic appeal.

Super 8 by Wyndham began as a budget-friendly option for travelers. The original hotel in Aberdeen set a precedent for affordable lodging with a nightly rate of $8.88. This pricing, along with accessible locations near major highways, quickly made Super 8 a popular choice for road trippers and travelers seeking value without compromising on comfort.
