This place wasn’t our first choice for the night. We checked with the two neighboring motels before we turned to the Super 8. The fact that only the Super 8 had a vacancy made us reluctantly book a room there.

But it was okay, really. To sum up our experience: If Motel 6 is the fries among the low budget national motel chains Super 8 is the curly fries; same product, but with an attitude.

For this one night the Super 8 in Glendive did for us what it is supposed to do, being a Super 8.

Being from an oil field town myself, I understand most hotels being entirely booked. This was the only place my boyfriend could get a reservation when travelling to ND on a business trip. Having stayed at other Super 8s, I expected a reasonably-priced average room. Unfortunately, it was far below a typical Super 8 room. The front desk gal was rude and not a great representation of their property. The hotel as a whole was old and dingy. The room was small, cramped, and not well-organized. None of the furniture matched, and it was all outdated (I don't mean a few years old, I mean 40 years old). The walls didn't match, except for the awful staining on all surfaces. The only redeemable factor was the nicer shower with good water pressure. The bedding was awful, and even the hallways had a HORRIBLE smell. My boyfriend even joked (although it may not be all that far-fetched) that he might catch a second-hand heroin high from whatever was embedded in the walls. I wish I had taken pictures because it is hard to find words to convey just how awful it was. Overall, it was horrible, and I wouldn't recommend it to even my worst enemy.

Traveling back home from Glacier with my 4 lb Chihuahua, I stopped at several motels in Glendive and picked this motel for its price and it was pet friendly. I just wasn't impressed with the town of Glendive at all. This motel was just OK. Nothing great about it, nothing horrible about it. It was just OK.

Bad manager. Dirty old rooms. Nothing to eat closeby. Stay far away if you want to avoid bedbugs.
