Unbelievable Deals at Longmont's BEST Super 8! (Twin Peaks Views!)
Super 8 Longmont: Twin Peaks Views &… Well, Let's Talk About It. (A Messy Review)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn’t going to be your typical, perfectly polished hotel review. We’re diving HEADFIRST into the Unbelievable Deals at Longmont's BEST Super 8! (Twin Peaks Views!) and trust me, it's a rollercoaster. Consider this your honest heads-up before you book.
First, the Positives (Because I’m trying to be a GOOD reviewer):
- That View, Though: Seriously, the "Twin Peaks Views!" part? Not a lie. When I got out of my car, I swear, the mountains were just… staring at me. Majestic. Gorgeous. Worth the price of admission alone. I'd almost forgive them for anything, just for that.
- Free Wi-Fi in ALL Rooms! Huzzah! And it actually worked. (A small miracle in the hotel world, let me tell you.) Streaming Netflix to avoid interacting with other humans? Check. Work remotely without wanting to throw your laptop out the window? Double check.
- Free Parking: Yep. Free. No hidden fees, no "surprise" parking charges. Bless. In this era of nickel-and-diming, I appreciate the small mercies.
- The Staff (Mostly): The front desk people were friendly and helpful. There was this one woman, bless her heart, who seemed to genuinely care if your stay was okay. And that goes a long way.
Now, Let's Get Real (And Slightly Dramatic):
Cleanliness and Safety (Or, The Germaphobe’s Nightmare…and Maybe Yours):
Okay, this is where things get… interesting. They advertise "Anti-viral cleaning products" and "Daily disinfection in common areas," which, in theory, is great. But I’m pretty sure my room, after I'd requested, had been "cleaned" by a mischievous dust bunny and a rogue feather duster. There were weird stains on the carpet I'd rather not identify. The bathroom? Let’s just say I wouldn’t have been surprised to find a colony of microscopic lifeforms. The room sanitization opt-out available just made me think they should have been paid to actually come into the room.
I did notice they have "Hand sanitizer" in the lobby (yay!), and "Staff trained in safety protocol" (prayers up!). But, honestly, I’m bringing my own Clorox wipes next time. And possibly a HAZMAT suit.
- Curbing the Germs: They tried. They REALLY TRIED. But in the real world of hotel cleanliness, well, things can always be better.
Rooms and Amenities: The Good, The Bad, and the Bed… Which Was Actually Pretty Comfy:
- The Bed: Surprisingly comfortable. I slept like a log. Maybe it was the altitude, maybe it was the exhaustion, but that bed was a champion.
- Air Conditioning in all Rooms: Phew. Thank goodness. It got hot. Real hot. Imagine not having it - the horror.
- Internet Access – Wireless (Free): See above. Crucial for modern survival.
- The “Things to Do”… In the Room: The room had a TV with satellite/cable channels. I'm sure. I didn't watch, I was too busy looking for bugs.
- The “Mini Bar”: Haha. Okay, there WAS a refrigerator. I guess that could be a mini-bar if you brought your own beverages.
- My Bathroom: It was… functional. The water was hot, the shower worked, but it was slightly dated. I did like the "toiletries" provided. They worked . . . but I wouldn't use them at home.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Or, Where My Expectations Met Reality and Cried a Little):
Breakfast. They offered "Breakfast [buffet]." This is where the "Unbelievable Deals" part started to make sense. The coffee was… well, it was coffee. The bread was… there. They had "Buffet in restaurant" - it certainly was. I opted for the bagel and fruit (that seemed safe). The rest of the world was going for the Asian breakfast, it seemed, and it didn't look good. I'm sure it tasted fine.
- Additional Thoughts: There wasn't much in the way of "Dining, drinking, and snacking."
Services and Conveniences (A Mixed Bag):
- The Elevator: Functional. Thank goodness.
- The “Doorman”: Ha! Well, no. There wasn’t one. But the front desk staff was on duty, which is almost the same.
- Air conditioning in public area: YES! I think they have to do that.
- Daily housekeeping: They seemed to have tried, though the evidence was sometimes debatable.
I have no idea what most of the "Services and conveniences" listed here even mean. I didn't see any "Food delivery," I wasn't looking for a "Shrine," and meeting facilities? For what? To plan the escape?
Getting Around & Exterior Charm:
- Car park [free of charge]: Yep. Plenty of parking.
- Exterior corridor: I felt like I was living in a movie, but I can't remember which one.
Things to Do (Besides Contemplate the Mystery Stains on the Carpet):
- The Twin Peaks: Well, yeah. Go stare at the mountains. Hike. Breathe the fresh air. That’s your best bet.
- Rest of Longmont: I didn't have the chance to explore Longmont, I was too busy inspecting my room for unwanted guests.
Accessibility:
- I didn't need it, but they claimed to have "Facilities for disabled guests." I hope they do.
Overall:
Look, it's a Super 8. You get what you pay for. The "Unbelievable Deals" part probably refers to the price. But if you're looking for a budget-friendly place with a killer view and you're willing to bring your own cleaning supplies? And your own breakfast? This might just work. I'm giving it a generous 3 stars. Because those mountains… those mountains were something special.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're heading to… Longmont, Colorado. Specifically, the Super 8 by Wyndham. Don't let the name excite you too much – it's a Super 8. We're not aiming for the Ritz here, folks. We're aiming for… well, a bed, a shower, and hopefully, a vaguely presentable continental breakfast. Here's the plan, or at least, a semblance of a plan, knowing me:
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Gas Station Debacle (and Hope)
- 1:00 PM (ish): Arrive at Denver International Airport (DIA). I always underestimate the security lines. Always. Last time, I almost missed a flight because I forgot I had a tiny bottle of mouthwash in my carry-on. The TSA agent looked at me like I'd brought a nuclear weapon! Anyway, point is, be prepared to be late. And hangry. Airport food is an abomination. Grab whatever, and try not to cry.
- 2:30 PM (ish): Pick up rental car. Hopefully, they won't try to upsell me on something ridiculously flashy. I'm not trying to impress anyone in Longmont; I just need something that goes and hopefully doesn't fall apart on the highway.
- 3:30 PM: Drive to Super 8 by Wyndham Longmont/Twin Peaks. Google Maps says it’s only about a 45-minute drive, but let’s be real, I’ll get lost. I have a terrible sense of direction. I’m also easily distracted by interesting roadside attractions. Like, what is that giant ball of twine I just saw?!
- 4:15 PM (hopefully): Check into the Super 8. Okay, look, I'm not expecting much. But I do hope the sheets are clean. And that the air conditioner actually works. And… well, the bathroom that doesn't smell like a disgruntled badger would be a bonus.
- 5:00 PM (Or whenever I finally arrive): This is crucial. Gas. The gas station is nearby. I am notorious for running out of gas. So, gas station stop. Grab some trashy snacks. Maybe a sugary drink. Because, hey, you’re supposed to feel on vacation. I’ll probably forget to check the tire pressure. And, if I’m being honest, I’ll probably spill something all over myself while fumbling with the gas pump. I once tried to save a rogue Cheeto from the ground at a gas station and ended up flat on my face. Good times.
- 6:00 PM (ish): Figure out dinner. Google Maps says there are a few chain restaurants nearby. I'll probably spend an hour trying to decide between a burger joint and a slightly less bad burger joint. Pro tip: Don't expect any culinary masterpieces in Longmont.
- 7:30 PM: Collapse in hotel room. Watch some trashy TV. Probably fall asleep before the credits roll. The travel day is draining you know? And the bed will probably not be the best, but I will sleep.
Day 2: Exploring the… Local Vibe? (and the Peculiarities of Small Towns)
- 7:00 AM (if I can manage to wake up): Attempt the continental breakfast. Cross my fingers for something vaguely resembling actual food. I’m not sure if I eat breakfast or not, which is a huge gamble. Will I be hungry or will I skip the breakfast?
- 8:00 AM: I should have a shower, but I will possibly get distracted before that. I'm always distracted by the thought of a warm shower.
- 9:00 AM: Explore Longmont! Honestly, I don't know exactly what to expect. Maybe a charming downtown area? Maybe a few quirky antique shops? Maybe a tumbleweed rolling down the street? (Okay, probably not the last one, this isn't a western). I'm going to wing it. I am going to go see the local park. I am going to see if someone does have a giant ball of twine.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch somewhere… local. I told you about the burgers before. I will probably try to find one. In the meantime, I will feel very uncomfortable, probably not knowing what to order, but I will be hungry so I will order eventually.
- 1:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Rest! You know me, I love a good nap.
- 3:00 PM: More exploring! I’ll probably start feeling restless and wander around again, maybe find a local coffee shop, or perhaps just walk around and watch the people.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner, more burgers perhaps. Or, if I'm feeling adventurous (read: if I’ve found a place that isn’t a chain), maybe some local cuisine.
- 7:00 PM: I might actually get some work done (I will probably be working), or watch the TV.
Day 3: Departure and the inevitable airport chaos
- 7:00 AM: Back to the breakfast table! Wish me luck
- 8:00 AM: Check out of the Super 8. Say goodbye to the… memories (ha!).
- 9:00 AM: Drive back to DIA. Try not to get lost. Try not to leave anything in the hotel room.
- 10:00 AM: Return the rental car. Hope it’s not covered in Cheeto dust from the gas station incident.
- 11:00 AM: Check in for flight. Brace myself for more lines, more potential for my luggage to disappear, and more airport food that tastes vaguely of sadness.
- 1:00 PM (ish): Board flight. Finally, freedom!…Until the next trip, that is.
Emotional Breakdown/Ramblings (because, you know, honesty):
Look, I know this isn't the most glamorous vacation plan ever. It's Longmont, not the Maldives. But the beauty of travel, at least for me, is the unexpected. The weird gas station encounters, the slightly-too-soft hotel beds, the questionable breakfast offerings… all of it adds up to a story. And hey, maybe I'll even find something interesting to do in Longmont. Maybe a quirky museum, a hidden gem of a restaurant, or a truly epic sunset over… a parking lot. Who knows?
The biggest thing is: I'm going. I'm getting out of my own head and seeing something new. That's worth the price of a slightly-less-than-perfect hotel room and a few questionable gas station snacks, right? Right? Okay, maybe. Let’s just hope I don’t embarrass myself too badly. And that the air conditioning works. And that I don't run out of gas. Again.

Longmont's BEST Super 8: FAQS (and Ramblings!) - You WON'T Believe These Deals! (Twin Peaks Views!)
Okay, Okay, I'm Intrigued. What *Exactly* Makes This Super 8, You Know, "The BEST"?
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because that's a loaded question! First and foremost… **Twin Peaks Views!** Seriously, I've stayed in places in much fancier locales, and the morning light hitting those peaks from the Super 8? *Chef's kiss*. But look, I'm not going to lie, it *is* a Super 8, so expectations need a little… adjusting. But the *value*? The sheer, unadulterated value! I swear, I once got a room for, like, the price of a decent burger combo. And clean. Generally. (More on that later...)
Plus, the breakfast… okay, the breakfast situation is always a gamble. Sometimes, it's the glorious, heart-stopping joy of perfectly cooked mini-waffles. Other times? Let's just say the bagels are… well, let’s call them “rustic.” But hey, free carbs! And did I mention the *pool*? (Don't get too excited. It's… a pool.)
Speaking of Value, What Kind of "Unbelievable Deals" Are We Talking About? Like, Seriously?
Don't even get me started! The deals… oh, the sweet, sweet deals. They rotate. It's almost like a lottery. My advice? Check their website *religiously*. I'm talking, like, every other day. You can find rates that make you question reality. I'm talking, "Is this a glitch in the matrix?" low. Like, I swear, I once got a suite… a *suite*!… for less than what I pay for a single night at a… okay, okay, I won't name names. But it was incredibly cheap.
They have seasonal promotions, weekday wonders, and sometimes... just plain old "we really want to fill these rooms" sales. Seriously, I swear, I think I caught them during a particularly slow Tuesday night once, and the rate was… well, let's just say I ended up staying an extra night because it was cheaper than going home! The front desk guy (usually the same one, bless his weary heart) just shrugs and says, “Gotta keep the lights on!”
Alright, Alright, The "Twin Peaks Views." How Good Are They *Really*?
Okay, okay, *now* we're getting down to the juicy bits! The views… Look, I’m not a professional photographer. I leave that to the Instagram influencers. But the sunrises… *sigh*. When the sun hits those peaks just right, it's… it's almost spiritual. I've stood out there, coffee in hand (the coffee *is* surprisingly decent), just watching the colors change. Pure bliss. It's like nature’s own free artwork. Seriously, during a particularly rough patch in life, I spent a week holed up there, just journaling and staring at those mountains. It was… therapeutic. (And cheap!)
The downside? The parking lot also has a view of those peaks. So, you might have to step out of your room. But hey, fresh air, right? And sometimes, if you're lucky, you can snag a room on the… (checks notes)… northwest side. Those rooms are the goldmine!
Is It... Clean? You Know, Compared to Other Super 8s?
Okay, here's the brutally honest truth. It's… *mostly* clean. Look, a Super 8 is not the Ritz-Carlton. If you're expecting sterile perfection, you’re looking in the wrong place. And I mean, I've stayed in some… *interesting* Super 8s. Let's just say, this one is better than a solid 7 out of 10. Maybe even an 8 on a good week.
I have, on *one* occasion (and I'm not proud of it, okay?), found a… *mystery stain* on the carpet. I’m not going to describe it. Let's just say it was not the color I’d pick for my living room floor. But I called the front desk (also the same guy!), they apologized profusely, and immediately moved me to a different room. The new room? Immaculate. Lesson learned: speak up!
They keep the sheets clean, which is the most important thing. And the bathrooms? They always *seem* clean… I mean, they're not exactly spa-like, but they’re functional! And hey, the complimentary tiny soaps always make me chuckle. Tiny soaps. Why? I don't know. But they're there!
What About the Amenities? Free Wi-Fi? Parking? Is the TV watchable?
Okay, let's run through the non-negotiables. Yes, they have free Wi-Fi. It’s usually… adequate. Don't expect to stream 4K movies without some buffering. But you can browse, check your email, and doomscroll to your heart's content. Parking? Abundant. No valet service though. (Thank goodness!) The TV… yes, there is a TV. The channel selection? What are you expecting, HBO Max? They have the basics. And you’ll be surprised how quickly you can become invested in some random daytime talk show when nothing else is on.
The pool? I mentioned the pool, right? It's… there. It's not the Four Seasons pool. It's a rectangle of chlorinated water. Sometimes, it's closed. Sometimes, it's full of kids. Sometimes, it's… empty. It's a bit of a gamble. But hey, it’s *there*! And it is good (and very, very necessary) for a cooldown!
Okay, Let’s Get Real. What's the Catch? There's Always a Catch, Right?
Alright, okay, you're right to be skeptical. There's… *sometimes* a catch. It's not sinister, it’s just… realistic. First, it’s a Super 8. So, it's not luxury. Don't expect fluffy towels or a pillow menu. Second, the breakfast, as previously mentioned, can be a bit… hit or miss. Third, the traffic around it can sometimes be… *intense*. It's near a highway, so you get a little road noise. Bring earplugs!
But the biggest "catch"? The people. You know, the other guests. Sometimes you get families. Sometimes you get people just passing through. Sometimes… you get some *interesting* characters. But hey, that’s part of the adventure, right? I've made some hilarious observations just by sitting in the lobby, sipping mediocre coffee, and watching the world go by.
