Super 8 Luverne

My cat made friends with the front desk and housekeeping staff. They’re super cat friendly, low key, and down to earth. If you want Karen type staff, or you’re a Karen yourself, this isn’t the place for you. Keep driving another 3-6hrs and stop in Minneapolis, where you might get accommodations for daycare. But if you’re exhausted from driving and need a place to rest with a family of 8 plus pets, this is a homey oasis.

You get what you pay for. I’m from East St.Paul, and this place still scared me. I didn’t even sleep under the covers. I passed out on top of the bed in a hoodie, sweats, and socks. You can hear EVERYTHING, and breakfast was mid. The orange juice had black flecks in it, but I was thirsty. Didn’t die, but still weird.

Good prices, WiFi, and Smart TVs, plus great employees made for a great stay. The nearest big brand grocery stores like Walmart are a bit farther away, but the bigger Sioux Falls area in South Dakota is only a 30 minute drive.

The rooms are a little faded, but the staff were great and it was very quiet. There’s a surprisingly clean grassy patch to take your dog out. For a longer walk with your dog, or on your own, Luverne city park is nearby and lovely. I only had coffee in the morning, though the breakfast looked perfectly suitable.
