Unbelievable Deals at Super 8 by Wyndham Moberly! (MO)
Super 8 Moberly: Unbelievable Deals? Well… Let's Unpack This Mess! (MO)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Super 8 in Moberly, Missouri. Forget the perfectly curated travel blogs, this is the real deal. I'm talking honest-to-goodness feelings, a little bit of rambling, and more than a few "hmmm…" moments. So, let's go!
Accessibility: (Mostly) Thumbs Up, I Think…
Okay, so the website says accessibility is covered, and I believe them. Elevators are a godsend, especially when you're lugging enough luggage to outfit a small circus. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests. Now, did I actually see anyone utilizing them while I was there? Nope. But hey, the website says they're there, right? That's half the battle, I guess. And the elevator was there, that’s huge.
Cleanliness and Safety: Deep Breath…
This is where things got… interesting. They bragged about anti-viral cleaning products, and the staff seemed to be taking things seriously. They had hand sanitizer stations everywhere, and the staff were definitely wearing masks. But then I saw a rogue, errant Cheerio on the floor in the hallway that had been there for DAYS. Okay, okay, it was just one Cheerio, maybe I’m nitpicking. But still… daily disinfection in common areas? Hmmm… I saw a lot of dust bunnies, too. They did offer the room sanitization opt-out, which I appreciated. Didn't opt-out, just said, "Please, clean the Cheerio up!". The kitchen and tableware items were probably sanitized, I hope. The smoke alarms and fire extinguishers were present, a definite plus! Feeling pretty safe overall for a Super 8, honestly.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Adventure Continues!
Breakfast. Oh, breakfast. Let's just say it was offered. Buffet? Yep. Asian breakfast? Nope. Mostly Western fare, and let’s be honest: it was… serviceable. Pre-packaged pastries and questionable coffee. Breakfast takeaway service? Definitely. I grabbed a sad little granola bar on my way out the door one morning, feeling like a true champion of the culinary arts. There's no bar, which is a shame. I could have used a stiff drink after dealing with the… the adventure that was the internet.
Internet Access: The Great Wi-Fi Apocalypse
Oh. My. Lord. The Wi-Fi. They scream "FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS!" on the website. And it’s IN ALL ROOMS. But you'd need a wizard, a prayer, and maybe a sacrifice to actually use it. It would connect… then disconnect… then taunt you with its phantom presence. I swear, I spent more time trying to log in than I did actually doing anything. And the internet [LAN]? Forget about it! It was like venturing into the Forbidden Forest. I spent a good hour trying to connect, only to give up and tether from my phone. It was a struggle. And the worst part? I needed that internet for work. I mean, what millennial doesn’t nowadays?! My whole project nearly died! Seriously, it was a comedy of errors, and I was the hapless clown. This almost soured the whole experience, but hey, lessons learned, right?
Services and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the… Laundry?
They have a concierge. I don’t know what they do, as there was no one at the front desk most of the time. There's daily housekeeping, which was appreciated, even if they missed a Cheerio or two. Laundry service and dry cleaning are available. Sweet! Now, I didn't use these specifically, but seeing these offered put my mind at ease. The elevator was a lifesaver. The facilities for disabled guests… well, the website said so, and I'm choosing to believe. There’s a convenience store - I probably would have bought all my meals there if I had the foresight…
For the Kids: …Maybe?
Family/child friendly? Sure, I guess. There were certainly families staying there. Kids meal? Probably not. Babysitting service? Nope. This is a Super 8, not the Four Seasons. Let’s be real.
In-Room Details: The Comforts (and the Compromises)
Ah, the rooms! They were… functional. Air conditioning that worked (thank god). Blackout curtains that… didn’t quite black out. A desk I could pretend to work at. A fridge, which was a blessing. The bed was comfortable enough. The shower had hot water and good pressure, yay! The TV worked, so that's a plus. Wi-Fi, on the other hand… well, you already know that story. The alarm clock and the mirror were there, so I guess your needs were covered.
Things To Do, Ways To Relax: Spoiler Alert: Not Much
Fitness center? Nope. Pool with view? LOL. Spa? Double LOL. In the immediate area around the hotel… well, Moberly isn’t exactly known for its vibrant nightlife. The "things to do" part of the visit mainly involved surviving the internet and wishing I'd packed a better book. There were no poolside bars or pools, no spa, just an old-school hotel.
The Verdict:
Unbelievable deals? Maybe. Economically? Yes. A luxurious retreat? Absolutely not. Super 8 Moberly is… a Super 8. You get what you pay for. It's a place to rest your head, and hopefully, eventually, connect to the internet. It's no Ritz-Carlton, but it's a place, and for the price, I'm not entirely complaining. Just… bring your own streaming services and some patience. And maybe a really, really good book. 😜
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: The Arrabelle at Vail Square
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause this ain't your grandma's pristine itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the glorious swamp of Moberly, Missouri, and I'm your delightfully messy tour guide. Specifically, we're camped out at the Super 8. Pray for me.
Day 1: Arrival and the Dreaded Room 217 (or, The Beginning of the End?)
- 1:00 PM: Arrived at Super 8, Moberly. The outside looks…well, it looks like a Super 8. Beige. Functional. Probably haunted by the ghosts of weary truckers. Check-in. The front desk guy, bless his heart, looks like he hasn't seen sunlight since the Clinton administration. He hands me a key card that I swear is older than me (and I'm no spring chicken).
- 1:15 PM: Dragging my pathetic suitcase (rolling suitcase? More like a "wobbling" suitcase) down the dimly lit hallway. The carpet feels suspiciously sticky. Praying it's just spilled soda and not something…worse.
- 1:20 PM: ROOM 217. Oh, the dreaded number! This is what I get for not upgrading. The room itself is… beige adjacent. Two queen beds that look surprisingly clean (score!). The TV is a flat-screen but the cable lineup is from the mid-2000s. Found a little brochure about the "Pioneer Museum", the place does hold a special place in my memory, I will be visiting it.
- 1:30 PM: Okay, unpacking. Immediately realize I forgot my toothbrush. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This sets the tone. This is going to be a trip.
- 1:45 PM: Decide to embrace the chaos. Hit up the vending machine. Victory! Diet Coke and a bag of Skittles. Crisis averted (for now).
- 2:00 PM: A walk around the hotel and area, trying to find something to do, looking for a place to eat. Finding nothing. It's like a town wrapped in a beige blanket, sigh.
- 4:00 PM: Giving in to the call the TV, and the temptation of a bath.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at the "local favorite". It's a diner. I ask for the special. The special is a burger that I swear is bigger than my head. I eat half of it. I think. Honestly, the whole thing is a delicious, greasy blur.
- 7:30 PM: Back at the room. Watch a random, old movie on TV. Can't remember the name. Something about a damsel, dragons, and knights.
- 9:00 PM: Bed. Staring at the ceiling. Is this my life now?
Day 2: Pioneer Museum and the Existential Crisis of Baked Goods
- 7:00 AM: Wake up… somehow. The bed was actually not that bad! Coffee is lukewarm, but I'll take it. Continental breakfast: basically, carbs wrapped in more carbs. Waffles? Mini-muffins? I get so much from these, I could cry.
- 8:00 AM: Out the door. Gotta go! But first, I decide that I am going to change my hair.
- 8:30 AM: The Pioneer Museum! This place is amazing. It's like stepping back in time. Old farm tools, bonnets, and everything else. I end up spending almost the entire day there. I get lost in the stories of real people. I love this place!
- 12:00 PM: Walked out of the museum with a good mood. I am starving.
- 12:30 PM: The bakery! I found a bakery! The one and only bakery on the block. Walking in, it smells like heaven. I want it all. I have to buy all of the goods. I grab a cupcake. It's… perfect. It's a moment. Worth every calorie.
- 1:00 PM: Back to my hotel room with my haul. Letting out a big ol' smile.
- 3:00 PM: Trying to watch TV, but I keep thinking about the cupcake.
- 6:00 PM: Another burger, but I swear it's just not as good as yesterday's.
- 8:30 PM: Watch TV, with a half-open bag of chips, and begin typing. I am looking forward to tomorrow.
Day 3: Departure (and a Prayer for Safe Travels)
- 7:00 AM: The end. Packing. I have to leave the room. I have to leave this place. This place has grown on me.
- 8:00 AM: Check-out. Back at the front desk, the man who checked me in makes a little small talk.
- 8:15 AM: I am ready to be out of Moberly. But I'm gonna miss this place.
- 8:30 AM: Leaving.
Okay, honestly, Moberly wasn't the most glamorous vacation. But it was… real. And sometimes, that's all you need. And who knows, maybe I'll be back. Maybe I'll even upgrade my room. Maybe. Probably not. But hey, at least I survived Room 217. That's a win in my book. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find a dentist. (Toothbrush, remember?)
