Butte's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Butte's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Wyndham Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Forget Luxe, Embrace the Unexpected Glory!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to get the REAL lowdown on Butte's Super 8 Wyndham. Forget the fancy hotels with their snooty attitudes and exorbitant prices. This place? This is… different. This is the anti-hotel hotel. This is where you go when you want a clean, comfy, and surprisingly well-equipped stay without taking out a second mortgage. And trust me, you won't believe what you find.
First Impressions: The Accessibility Angle (and a Quick Rant)
Right off the bat, let's talk accessibility. This is HUGE, folks. And frankly, a lot of other hotels in the area suck at it. Super 8 Wyndham? They've got facilities for disabled guests. I didn't personally assess every single inch, but the ramps and elevators are in place, which is already a win. Wheelchair accessible is a huge plus, and something that should be a standard but sadly isn't. This is crucial. My heart breaks when I see people struggling with poorly designed spaces.
Accessibility: Facilities for disabled guests, Wheelchair accessible.
The Room, the Room, the Glorious Room!
Okay, let's get real. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a princess and I don't need marble floors. (Though, hey, if they're offering…!) The rooms at Super 8 are… functional. But functional in a good way. They're clean (and honestly, that's the most important thing, right?), and they have everything you need.
Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless ( Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Whoop! ), Ironing facilities, non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Shower, Smoke detector, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The Wi-Fi? Spot on. Seriously, I could stream without buffering, which is basically a modern-day miracle. And the bed? Surprisingly comfortable! I’m a side sleeper, and I'm picky. But the bed was supportive and I slept like a log. (I'm pretty sure I briefly considered moving in.) They've got Daily housekeeping, which is a lifesaver. Coming back to a made bed is a simple pleasure that's worth its weight in gold. They've got Air conditioning, which is a MUST in Butte. And while they do offer non-smoking rooms, I always appreciate that they are very strict about it.
Cleanliness and Safety: Breathe Easy, Folks!
Now, let’s get to the juicy part – especially after the past few years! The Super 8 Wyndham actually cares about cleanliness and safety. I was seriously impressed.
Cleanliness and safety in action: Anti-viral cleaning products, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms.
They're using Anti-viral cleaning products and doing Daily disinfection in common areas. I even noticed Hand sanitizer stations EVERYWHERE. I'm not saying it's a hazmat suite, but they're definitely on top of things. The Front desk [24-hour] is a huge plus, and there is Security [24-hour] and CCTV in common areas and outside property, which is always a good sign. They’ve got fire extinguishers and smoke alarms, and are Non-smoking rooms which keeps things clean.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Surprisingly Good! (and a Story!)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The Super 8 Wyndham doesn’t exactly boast a Michelin-starred restaurant. But they have an excellent Breakfast [buffet]. Real bacon. Scrambled eggs. Cereal. Muffins. Coffee! You can also grab a Coffee/tea in restaurant.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Coffee/tea in restaurant.
One morning, I was ravenous, and this little old lady was in front of me, filling up a plate of the pastries. She looked at me and grinned, winked, and said, “Honey, don’t underestimate the power of a good muffin.” And you know what? She was right. It was delicious.
Services and Conveniences: More Than Meets the Eye!
You know, you don't go to a Super 8 and expect the Ritz, but the Super 8 Wyndham has some surprising perks.
Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Front desk [24-hour], Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area.
Contactless check-in/out makes things super easy (and safe!), and the Concierge was surprisingly helpful. They also have Laundry service and that helps with a lot of things. They even have a smoking area for those who want it.
Things to Do (or, How You Can Actually Relax in Butte)
Butte is a town that rewards exploration. And Super 8 Wyndham provides a good base for it. Plus, you can actually relax after a long day.
Things to do, ways to relax: Gym/fitness, Swimming pool [outdoor].
They've got an Outdoor swimming pool which is perfect after a long day of sightseeing (in warmer months).
The Quirk Factor (Because Let's Be Honest, It's What Makes It Memorable!)
Alright, so maybe the décor isn't exactly cutting-edge. But that's part of the charm! There's a certain… je ne sais quoi. It’s real. It’s not trying to be something it isn’t. The staff is friendly, down-to-earth. There's a friendly local vibe, and not a hint of pretension.
What Could Be Better? (Because I'm Honest!)
Look, no place is perfect. Occasionally, the elevator can be a little slow. The car park [free of charge] is not huge, but I never had a problem finding a spot. And maybe, maybe they could upgrade the coffee (though the muffins partially make up for it!).
The Verdict: You Won't Regret It
So, should you book the Super 8 Wyndham in Butte? Absolutely! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable, and genuinely welcoming place to stay, you can’t go wrong. It’s not fancy, but it's good. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and explore all that Butte has to offer without breaking the bank.

Okay, buckle up, Buttercups. This isn't your cookie-cutter travel blog. This is my trip to Butte, Montana, and trust me, it's gonna be a ride. We’re talking Super 8 style, folks. Let’s get messy, honest, funny… and pray I don’t accidentally eat something off the floor.
Butte, Montana: A Super 8 Odyssey – Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Copper
Day 1: Arrival & a Questionable First Impression
1:00 PM: Touchdown in Butte! (Or, the Great Airport of "Eh.") Let's be honest, arriving in Butte isn't like stepping onto the red carpet. The airport is… utilitarian. Think concrete, a vending machine that definitely sells stale chips, and an overwhelming sense of “Well, okay then.” But hey, I’m here. Gotta embrace the vibe.
1:30 PM: The Super 8. Oh, the Super 8. Okay, I've reached the pinnacle of glamour. Check-in at the Super 8. Let's see… the clerk seemed friendly enough, gave me a keycard, and promised "Free breakfast." Free breakfast is the holy grail, let's be honest. The room…well, it's a Super 8. You know the drill. Standard motel room aesthetic. The air conditioner is chugging a little, but hey, at least it’s not Death Valley.
2:00 PM: Exploring the "Downtown." I wander out, ready to embrace the gritty charm of Butte. The town's got character, alright. A lot of it. Some buildings are beautifully crumbling. Others… less so. There's this amazing, majestic, and somehow foreboding old brick building that seems straight out of a Western. I wish I had a beer. I’m not sure what that is, but it feels right.
3:00 PM: The Pork Chop John's Experience (and a Personal Crisis) This is it. The moment. Pork Chop John's, a Butte institution, and my first official Butte culinary undertaking. I got the pork chop sandwich. And wow. Just wow. It’s… meat, on bread, with a sauce that is… a flavor. It's the kind of thing that might give you food poisoning, or it might be the best damn thing you've ever eaten. Honestly, I have no idea. I'm halfway through; I'm sweating a little, and I think I'm in love.
This brings me to a profound revelation. I've been so focused on "experiencing" the world that I've forgotten how to just… be. I’m staring at this sandwich and realizing I haven't been present in weeks. Months. The sandwich becomes my meditation. I savor each bite. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the art of travel. It's not about the Eiffel Tower; it's about the Pork Chop John's pork chop sandwich.
4:00 PM: The Copper King Mansion: "Too Much, Man" The Copper King Mansion is a must-see. I’m told it’s opulent. Gilded Age, baby! And it is… well, imagine a Victorian house threw up all the gold and silk in a small town. There's so much stuff. I wandered through room after room, slowly losing my mind. After an hour, I had to escape. My brain needed a break from all the brocade.
6:00 PM: Dinner and the "Bar Scene." I try finding a local place, all of them are pretty empty. I settle on a sports bar, the usual suspects. The local clientele is… interesting. I see a guy in a Metallica t-shirt, and a woman with HUGE hair. This all screams Butte. The food is standard pub grub. I get some wings. They're fine. The beer is cold. I try not to talk to anyone.
8:00 PM: A Late-Night Stroll. This City! I go for a walk. I walk past closed storefronts and the dim glow of streetlights. There’s something… haunting… about Butte at night. A feeling of past glory, of hard work. I kind of love it. It’s weird, but it’s real.
9:00 PM: Back to the Super 8. The Television is My God, now. The TV is the only form of company. I have to watch some reality TV, I can't help it. I drift off, feeling the weight of Butte slowly settle on top of me.
Day 2: Mining, Memory, and Maybe, Just Maybe, Some Sunshine
7:00 AM: The Free Breakfast! And a Deep Sigh. I get to the breakfast. It's the typical Super 8 breakfast. Waffles, instant coffee, and those weird little pre-packaged muffins. I load up on the carbs and pray to the waffle machine for strength.
8:00 AM: The World Museum of Mining. The Mind-Blowing. Okay, this place is fantastic. It's one thing to read about mining. It's another to walk through a recreated mining town, see the machinery, and learn about the lives of the miners. It’s dark, it’s grimy, and it’s incredibly moving. You can go into an ACTUAL mine; I did. I feel a little claustrophobic. But it makes me appreciate what these men went through. A profound, sobering experience. I almost got stuck for a few moments. Whoops.
11:00 AM: Butte from the Top (and a Near-Death Experience!). I drive up to the Our Lady of the Rockies, a giant statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking Butte. The view is incredible… and the road is terrifying. Seriously, it’s a narrow, winding road with sheer drop-offs. My hands were sweating the entire time. I scream a little bit. The view from up there is worth it.
1:00 PM: Lunch (and the Search for Wifi! A Modern Plague). I am wandering downtown, trying to find someplace to eat and also find reliable Wifi. Because, you know, 21st-century problems. I find a coffee shop that has decent wifi. I get a sandwich. It’s fine.
2:00 PM: Shopping! Wait… I'm looking for a gift shop. But there aren't many to choose from. The one I find is all but closed. The best gift shop is the world museum of mining. I get a magnet.
3:00 PM: The “Ghost Town” of Anaconda (and The Smell). A drive to Anaconda, another old mining town. It’s… well, it’s a ghost town. The giant smoke stack is looming. It's been here for a long time. The air smells of… something. Sulfur maybe. It’s not pleasant. But it’s part of the story. I don’t stay long.
5:00 PM: The Copper Bar (and, Possibly, Regret). The Copper Bar. It's a Butte institution. Dive bar ambiance. The bartender is… experienced. I try a locally brewed beer. It's good. Maybe a little too good. I have a few too many. I meet some locals. They tell me… stories. I’m pretty sure I don’t remember most of them.
7:00 PM: Dinner. More Wings. I stumble, slightly tipsily, back to the sports bar. More wings, because consistency is key. Watch some sports.
9:00 PM: Back to the Super 8, and Bed. I stumble to bed. Butte hit me hard today.
Day 3: Departure & Lingering Thoughts
7:00 AM: The Super 8 Breakfast, Take 2. And a Headache. The end is near. I power through the breakfast buffet. I have a headache.
8:00 AM: Last Butte Walk. I have one last walk through Butte. It’s even more poignant now. Now that I’m leaving I appreciate the city. The good, the bad, the indifferent… it’s all Butte. It makes me wonder if a place as strange as Butte makes me okay.
11:00 AM: Departure. Boarding. Flying out of Butte.
Thoughts: Butte wasn't pretty. It wasn't always pleasant. But it was real. I saw a place that wasn't afraid to show its scars. It made me think about life. It taught me to appreciate the small things. And, yes, it taught me the profound joy of a pork chop sandwich.
Would I go back? Maybe. Definitely. I'd go back in a heartbeat. And now I have a magnet.
Now I’m going to go home, shower, and sleep for a week. Butte, you weird, wonderful place, you did me good.
