Super 8 Brandon MB

For a reasonably priced quick trip, this is a nice option. It's very clean, the breakfast is decent, and the staff are really helpful. The location works well for travelers who want a good night's rest and a quick bite before a meeting or continuing down the highway.

The bed was quite soft, and the pillows were uncomfortable, either very large and firm or flat and lumpy. We stayed at Super 8 and had a mixed experience. The room was tidy, but from the main floor we could clearly hear the people above walking around and using the bathroom all night. We also couldn't check in early and were asked to come back several times before the room was ready, which was inconvenient.

The breakfast was just okay, though there was some lukewarm 'hot' food even when we got there right at opening. The room was clean and okay, but its age showed in the pilling on the armchair, duvets, and bed runners. Most pillows were lumpy, and there was a musty smell we tried to air out by opening the window.

My partner booked rooms for his crew and called to extend the stay. They didn't tell us the rate would double for the extra day until it was too late, so we ended up paying double. As a small business, I would never do that to my clients. The communication and business practices were very bad. If I'd known about the increase, I'd have booked my guys somewhere else.
