Super 8 by Wyndham Grand Island South — Hotel in Grand Island

This hotel is kind of out-of-the-way, but not super bad. It also doesn’t look like much on the outside, but that’s only to conceal its secrets. At first, I thought it was this cheap fleabag, and I was traveling kind of on a budget for the Fourth of July so I booked this over Expedia. They are pet friendly and they welcome to my dog Bruce as you can see, and their bathroom was very spacious. Also, the walls are surprisingly thick and the room was very quiet. The room itself was actually pretty compact, but the bed is oh so wonderful. I slept like a baby and this was the case even though there was a thunderstorm raging outside all night with lightning flashes almost 5 every second. This hotel is adjacent to a lake or a pond that is very pretty. They have a backyard patio and really tall Willow and other trees nearby that just exudes peace. Don’t get me wrong, this is not the Ritz Carlton. But if you’re traveling through Nebraska on a budget, the staff is nice, the rooms were clean, and the bed is amazing. Even though I gave them a four out of five stars on location, that was just because they’re in the south part of Grand Island so they’re a little out of the way of where the main scene is but...

They allow dogs for only 15 a night and the rooms I guess got remodeled they look great mattress looked brand new. There's a body of water right behind where you can go to hang out or open your window to and it's beautiful. My doggy approves also. Breakfast was pretty good too, didn't have everything but had cereal, biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs.

Editing to say that I stayed a second time last weekend. This time was not as pleasant. I was put in a room on the second floor this time and the sink was peeling, stuff wasn't stocked like tissues, the hair dryer didn't work, got a new one and had to plug it into a different outlet to get it to work making us late for a funeral. The alarm clock was also broken it kept buzzing and I had to unplug it from the wall to sleep. But despite all that I still love that it's on the water and the mattress seemed brand new like the last time and my favorite kind of...

It was great experience. The room was better than I expected. The Wi-Fi is automatically connected, not even a password needed. The receptionist, I think she is the owner also, was extremely courteous and helpful. I even lost my key card during refueling and getting some food from nearby store. This bothered me a lot, since it jeopardizes hotel security, but she assured me that this is OK and will take the required steps for safety, then she provided me with another keycard. They Even accommodate my screw up. I have no problem providing ID cards, just providing my phone number, because I am a recurring customer. I am traveling a lot and Super 8 is my first...
