About Super 8 Motel Super 8® began in 1974 with one modest motel in Aberdeen, South Dakota, offering rooms for $8.88 per night. More than 30 years later, Super 8 is now a roadside institution offering guests consistently clean rooms and friendly service at over 2000 motels across North America. Our typical guest is a cost-conscious but discriminating working professional traveling for business or leisure, or retired leisure traveler. Wherever they are, our guests can count on clean rooms at reasonable rates at any Super 8 motel along the way. History Based on the philosophy of providing consistent, friendly service and clean rooms at low rates, Super 8 was born in a coffee shop in Aberdeen, South Dakota. This coffee shop dream between two acquaintances, Dennis Brown and Ron Rivett, came to fruition in September 1974 when the first Super 8 motel was opened for business in Aberdeen, charging a mere $8.88 a night. Since then, Super 8 can be found in more locations than any other economy lodging chain in the world. Products & ServicesOur typical guest is either a working professional traveling for business or leisure or a retired couple traveling for pleasure. For them, Super 8 is not always their final destination, but can be a welcome stop along the way. Amenities Super 8 continually strives to make our guests as comfortable as possible no matter where your travels may take you. That's why each of our over 2,000 locations are now proud to offer an array of amenities that will provide a restful night's sleep, the energy to start the morning off right and everything else in between.
