I parked myself here at the Super 8 Green River for the 2013 Run with the Horses marathon…read more Apparently, its a big deal around these parts, with a town festival and everything. The main point that attracted me to this particular property was the price point per night, which was around $60 compared to the other handful of properties around. One of the cheaper properties in town for sure. I didn't have too much expectations for this place, other than the fact that I had stayed with this brand before and they met expectations. Just like me and the marathon, same distance, different city. So, here I was same brand, just different location. For me, I just needed something clean and hospitable for a night and this property did a good job of doing so.
Just one gripe about this place. It took me a pretty good while to locate my room on the second floor. While the lady at the front desk was helpful in explaining it to me, I had a wonderfully difficult time, but I eventually found it. It was kind of a maze, but what can you do. This Super 8 motel is located on the main thoroughfare of Flaming Gorge Way. Look for the exits off the I-80 in either direction for Green River and you're pretty much there on Flaming Gorge Way. Didn't take long to locate it. The property does boast a private parking lot, so that helps, but then again, most if not all do, don't they? I stayed here for one night only, just for the marathon. I would then drive back to Salt Lake City, UT pretty much right after the race. Hardcore, huh?
The check in process was self explanatory. The person at the desk was helpful and courteous for the most part. After getting into my room, not after smelling cigarette smoke lingering in the hallways on the 2nd floor, I got room #203, which was on a corner. The room itself was 2 queen beds and quite nice. Clean and spacious for what was needed. There was a mini fridge and a television, but no microwave. That's alright though. I didn't use the television, but the mini fridge came in handy. The comfort of the bed was above average, since I got in a nice 7 hours of quality sleep, considering that I didn't get any on the flight Thursday night/Friday morning. Adjusting to Wyoming and the altitude is interesting. So far so good. Just an annoying headache, but that's fine. The room itself is deemed satisfactory and the bathroom was good too. Clean and hospitable.
The check out process was somewhat weird, but I guess expected. I checked out of the hotel at 5am. Found the lady at the desk sleeping with eyes closed. Cute, I think. I waited for a couple of minutes before putting my stuff in the rental car. Came back in and she woke up with a startle. Sorry about that. Lol I told her I was checking out and handed her my room key card. All she said was "ok." And I headed out thereafter. Overall, I think this place can be better with the customer service, but I guess I can sympathize when you work the overnight hours. Still, no way to be sleeping on the job. I know we are in small town Wyoming on a Saturday morning, but come on. Lol still it was funny. Recommend Super 8 as a good hotel brand and this particular property if your travels come through here in Southwestern Wyoming.
