Unbelievable Deals: Super 8 by Wyndham 100 Mile House! (BC, Canada)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Unbelievable Deals: Super 8 by Wyndham 100 Mile House! (BC, Canada). And trust me, this isn't going to be your dry, corporate-speak hotel review. We're going real. We're going to be honest. We're going to see what this Super 8 really has to offer.
First, I gotta say, 100 Mile House isn't exactly… city chic. It's the kind of place where you expect to see a lumberjack and his dog walking into the local Tim Hortons. So, going in, my expectations for luxury were, let's just say, tempered.
Accessibility: Okay, here's the deal. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but the details get a little vague. The elevator is a must-have (thankfully, they got that), and the website boasts about accessibility. But getting a truly detailed breakdown of accessible room specifics – like, the height of the toilet or the width of doorways – is something you'll likely have to call and ask about. Just be prepared to do a bit of digging if full accessibility is critical.
Cleanliness and Safety (and the Pandemic Edition): This is HUGE right now, right? They're playing the safety card, which is a relief.
- They use anti-viral cleaning products.
- Daily disinfection in common areas.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere.
- Staff trained, and all that jazz.
I'm a germaphobe in a pandemic, so that's a huge plus. I did notice physical distancing signs and all, but let's be real, sometimes people forget. The rooms being sanitized between stays gives me hope. Room sanitization opt-out available. Also, they have a "hygiene certification," which means something.
Internet Access: Okay, crucial for us modern-day nomads.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (Hallelujah!)
- Internet, internet [LAN], internet services…all the variations of the internet.
It worked. It wasn't lightning-fast, but I could stream Netflix without too much buffering. And that's all I really need in life, right?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Don't come here expecting a Michelin-starred experience. BUT, the basics are covered.
- Breakfast [buffet]: It's classic Super 8 buffet. Cereal, toast, maybe some sad-looking eggs. Hey, it's enough to get you fueled up for a day of…well, exploring 100 Mile House.
- Restaurants: They list restaurants, which is a bit vague, but there are some dining options around.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant
- Coffee shop: They have Coffee!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: This is where things get… limited.
- Fitness center: Didn't see a fitness center. Disappointed.
- Pool [outdoor]: There IS an outdoor pool! That's a decent bonus for a Super 8, though it's not a "pool with a view," let's be honest.
- Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom: Nope. Not happening. This isn't a spa destination.
Services and Conveniences: Pretty functional, not a ton of frills.
- Air conditioning in public area & Available in all rooms: A must-have. Especially in the summer heat.
- Business facilities: They have some basic business facilities, like xerox/fax.
- Daily housekeeping.
- Elevator.
- Laundry service You know, essential for travelers.
- Pets not allowed: They are available, just not here.
For the Kids:
- Family/child friendly.
Rooms: The Nitty Gritty: Okay, let's talk about the room itself.
- Available in all rooms: air conditioning, alarm clock, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, shower, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, window that opens
- **Additional toilet: ** Sometimes.
- Desk: Essential for working, if you're a remote worker.
- Wake-up service: Helpful.
My Honest Anecdote:
Okay, I HAVE to tell you about my experience with the window. I am a sucker for a window. The one in my room opened and gave me a view of the parking lot and the highway, which is not exactly a postcard. But in a world of stuffy, sealed-off hotel rooms, being able to crack a window open and get some fresh air? That's a small luxury I loved. It's the little things, people. The very little things.
The Verdict:
So, is the Unbelievable Deals: Super 8 by Wyndham 100 Mile House a luxury getaway? Absolutely not. But is it clean, functional, and gets the job done? Absolutely. It's your classic, reliable Super 8. It's a pitstop. It's a place to crash after a long day of driving.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your perfectly curated Instagram travel blog. This is real travel, Super 8 style, in the heart of British Columbia. 100 Mile House, here we come! (And hopefully, the wifi works…)
Day 1: The Long Haul & The Quest for a Decent Coffee
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Or, attempt to wake up. That blasted alarm on my phone went off, jolting me awake. (Sigh). Packing is a disaster. Did I remember to pack my "emergency chocolate stash?" (It's a serious question, people.)
- 9:00 AM: Finally, the car is loaded. It looks like a clown car exploded in here, luggage, snacks, the dog, and I all squeezed in. (Okay, maybe not the dog, they could not come with me) Now off to 100 Mile House! It’s going to be a long drive.
- 12:00 PM: Stomach is rumbling. Stopped at some town for lunch. Ended up going into this tiny diner for lunch. Okay food.
- 5:00 PM: Arrive at the Super 8! (Hallelujah!). Check-in was… well, it was efficient. The front desk guy looked like he’d seen a few lifetimes pass him by, but hey, he was friendly enough. Room key, sorted.
- 5:30 PM: Okay, the room. Let’s be honest, it's a Super 8. It's… fine. Clean enough. The carpet smells vaguely of… something. (Air freshener masking a deeper, older smell? We'll never know.) The bed? Well, I'm hoping it's not a rock. Plop a bag on the bed.
- 6:00 PM: This is the most pressing issue: COFFEE. After that long drive, I need coffee, and I need it NOW. Wandering around, trying to find a coffee shop. Seems there are not many choices. Found a gas station. The coffee… it’s… let's just say it’s fuel. But, it’ll do.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Found a local pub. The food was okay. Maybe a little greasy. But the local scene was amazing.
- 8:00 PM - Onwards: Staring at the TV. After that drive and the quest for coffee, I am done for the night. Sleep.
Day 2: Lakes, Trails, and Maybe, Just Maybe, a Bear (From a Safe Distance, of Course!)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. (Did I sleep well?) Grab some not-so-exciting breakfast at the Super 8.
- 8:00 AM: Okay, adventure time! I am heading to a lake, according to my research. Getting directions from the front desk guy. He points to a couple of dirt roads. "Watch out for moose," he says. Moose?! Okay, new challenge.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Drive. Drive. There’s a lake. The air is crisp, the water turquoise, and the feeling of being surrounded by this immense beauty is nothing short of humbling. A photo opportunity.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. (Leftovers from the drive.)
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Hiking time! Find a hiking trail. The trail was okay. Very muddy in some places. Almost fell. Found a beautiful spot.
- 5:00 PM: Find something to eat. This is where I end up deciding to double down. Dinner again at the pub! They have a good selection of craft beers and the same greasy but tasty food. I could get used to this, really.
- 7:00 PM - Onwards: Back to the Super 8.
Day 3: The Unexpected Charm & "I Didn't Pack Enough Underwear"
- 8:00 AM: Pack up. I am out of clean clothes. (I should have taken a bigger bag!) A quick, rushed breakfast again at the Super 8. Time to go.
- 9:00 AM: Check out.
- 9:30 AM - Onwards: Time to go home.
- 12:00 PM: Stop in a town for lunch. Head home.
Final Thoughts (Which Might be Ramblings):
100 Mile House: it’s not exactly the glitz and glamour of some fancy resort, but it's got a certain charm. The lack of cell service in some spots was a bit of a downer, but also kind of… liberating? I learned that you can survive on gas station coffee (though I wouldn't recommend it for long), that I desperately need to invest in better hiking boots, that I really need a bigger suitcase, and that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones that aren't perfectly planned.
Would I do it again? Absolutely. (Though, maybe I'll pack a few extra pairs of underwear next time.)
