Medford's BEST Kept Secret: Super 8 Central Point Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Medford's BEST Kept Secret? Hold on, I Need to Breathe… Super 8 Central Point Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Alright, alright, settle in folks. Because, let me tell you, reviewing the Super 8 in Central Point, Oregon is… an experience. Forget everything you think you know about budget motels. This place… well, let's just say it's a mixed bag of delights and slightly questionable decisions, all wrapped up in a surprisingly comfy package. Buckle up. It's gonna be a ride.

Discover the good, the bad, and the wonderfully weird aspects of this "hidden gem" – from surprisingly clean rooms to questionable breakfast choices. Includes insights on accessibility, amenities, and the overall experience.
(Accessibility - The First Hurdle… Met, Mostly?)
Okay, so I'm not exactly a mobility expert, but from my observations, Super 8 Central Point attempts to be accessible. They've definitely got elevator access – a big plus! – which is a massive relief for anyone staying on a higher floor. I saw ramps where they needed to be, and there were facilities for disabled guests. More importantly, they actually seemed to care… or at least, not actively discare, which is a good start. The front desk is a lovely 24-hour option, and the staff that I encountered with were friendly, and they did try to go above and beyond. The problem: the definition of "accessible" sometimes seemed, ahem, loose. But hey, points for trying.
(Cleanliness and Safety - Did I Survive? Yes!)
This is where things got surprisingly good. Listen, I wasn't expecting surgical-grade cleanliness. I was expecting a certain level of "motel-ness." But I have to hand it to them: the room I stayed in was clean. Like, "I could probably eat off the floor" clean (though I wouldn't recommend it, obviously). The anti-viral cleaning products were clearly doing their job, because I didn't catch anything (besides, perhaps, a deep appreciation for budget travel). They even offered room sanitization opt-out available. Rooms sanitized between stays, and hand sanitizer stations were abundant. Daily disinfection in common areas, staff trained in safety protocol, all of these things made me feel much more secure. They had a doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit. They also had a fire extinguisher and smoke alarms, of course, and CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. They actually seemed to care.
(Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Breakfast… Sigh)
This is where the "hidden gem" shimmer started to fade, folks. Let's talk breakfast. The breakfast [buffet] was… an adventure. There was the usual Asian breakfast, which was decent, I also the Western breakfast, which was fairly underwhelming. The coffee/tea in restaurant was pretty okay, and you could get a bottle of water, which I liked. The breakfast takeaway service looked popular. The options were individually-wrapped food options, but the overall vibe was less "gourmet continental" and more "what can we slap together to say we have a breakfast?" Still, a free breakfast is a free breakfast, and let's be honest…we're not expecting Michelin stars at a Super 8. BUT, the coffee shop was pretty good. I spent a lot of time there.
(Services and Conveniences - The Little Things Count, Right?)
Here, Super 8 actually shines. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! (And it actually worked, thank the internet gods!). The concierge was helpful with directions. They even had contactless check-in/out, which is fantastic. There was a convenience store (for your emergency bag of chips and soda needs), a doorman (well, not a real doorman, but a friendly face at the desk), daily housekeeping, and laundry service. Plus, a luggage storage, safe deposit boxes, and they even had meeting/banquet facilities, which surprised me. You could get food delivery, too. I was particularly impressed with the ironing service and the invoice provided. This place has a lot of little details that add up.
(For the Kids - Mostly Okay, But…)
They claim to be family/child friendly, and I did see some kids running around, so they seem to welcome them. There are kids facilities, but I don't have kids, so I can't give a firsthand account. I didn't notice a babysitting service offered, which might be a downside for some families.
(Rooms - The Real Test!)
Alright, the rooms. My room was… surprisingly decent, again. Air conditioning that actually worked! Blackout curtains, which were a lifesaver for sleeping in. A desk for getting some work done. A refrigerator – perfect for snacks and drinks. A coffee/tea maker (essential for a coffee addict like me). Wifi [free] and internet access [wifi]!
Here's the thing though. My bed… it was comfy! Like, seriously, I slept well. The linens were clean, and the pillows were fluffy. Non-smoking rooms were available, which is a huge plus. Extra long bed and soundproofing that's not perfect but acceptable made for a relaxing environment. I'm just over the moon. Toiletries were provided, and they even had a hair dryer, which is a godsend. The private bathroom was compact, but functional. The shower worked great.
The biggest surprise of the stay was when I woke up the next morning. I had a bit too much to drink the previous night. "How did I not get arrested or killed?" I asked myself. The answer was that I was at the SUPER 8, and there was no way things could go wrong.
(Things to Do - Beyond the Motel Walls)
I have to admit, I didn't exactly spend my entire stay in the hotel. Central Point is a decent base for exploring the area. Crater Lake National Park is gorgeous. There are vineyards, hiking trails and the Rogue River all a short drive away. Plus, the hotel had a terrace and car park [free of charge], which is always a win. They offered airport transfer which is also helpful.
(The Quirks & The Verdict - My Brain's a Mess!)
Okay, here's my utterly subjective, slightly scattered verdict: Super 8 Central Point is a solid choice. It's not perfect. It's not glamorous. But it's clean, budget-friendly, and the staff is actually trying. The breakfast is… something. The rooms are comfy enough.
- My Emotional Reaction: When I first pulled up, I thought, "Oh no. This is going to be awful." But, slowly, as I checked in and entered the lobby, the staff quickly reversed my reaction. The moment I went to bed, I knew I had made the right choice.
- The Verdict: The Super 8 in Central Point is a good bet as a place to sleep. 3.75 stars.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need another coffee… and maybe a nap. The adventure is over!
Greenville's BEST Kept Secret: Days Inn Review (You Won't Believe This!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercup! This ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is the "Super 8 Showdown," a whirlwind tour of Medford, Oregon, through the slightly cracked lens of yours truly. Prepare for a ride…
The Super 8 Showdown: Medford, OR. (Or, My Brain on Road Trip)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Check-In Caper
1:00 PM: Touchdown! Okay, not literally. More like, crawl out of the car after a five-hour drive. The Super 8 looms. Ah, the familiar beige glow of budget Americana. My first thought? "Did I remember to pack my lucky travel socks?" (Spoiler: I didn't. Already a bad omen.)
1:15 PM: Check-in. This is where the fun really begins. You see the front desk clerk, bless their soul, is clearly having a day. "Uh, yeah, Mr. Henderson, your reservation… Oh, it's under 'Hendersom'? No problem." I bite my tongue. Internal monologue: "Okay, smile, nod, be nice. This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint." The room? Surprisingly okay, except for the questionable stain on the carpet. Let's just pretend it's abstract art, shall we?
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Unpacking. It's more of a "dumping everything on the bed" situation. I could never understand how people can "unpack" on the first day of trips, I'm more of the "living out of a suitcase" kind of person. I'm already regretting I didn't pack a few comfy t-shirts or my noise-cancelling headphones. Note to self: Prioritize "comfort" next time.
3:00 PM: The Search for Coffee. Survival is key. The complimentary hotel coffee is…well, let's just say it's not a life-changing experience. Gotta find some decent caffeine to fuel this adventure. Found a cute little coffee shop downtown, thankfully! This is where I realize I forgot my favorite travel mug. Ugh. The barista, bless her heart, looked at me like I was from another planet when I asked for a "tall to-go cup."
4:00 PM-5:00 PM: Exploring Downtown Medford. "Downtown" feels a bit…generous. More like "a few blocks of charm." The shops are cute, though. I accidentally spent WAY too long browsing the vintage clothing store and left with a ridiculously oversized, yet fabulous, jacket. Already regretting it. My wallet is whimpering.
6:00 PM: Dinner Fiasco. I decided to get a bit adventurous and tried the local diner, which was a mistake. My burger came with a side of extreme disappointment and a side of "why did I order this?" The waitress was nice, but alas, the food was a wreck. I left half of it untouched. Time to switch gears and head to the grocery store, and embrace a DIY dinner of sorts.
7:30 PM: TV & Chill (sort of). Back in the room, I turn on the TV, only to discover the remote has a mind of its own. Channel surfing is a battle. Sigh. Resorting to reading random articles on my phone instead. Suddenly, I feel the need to call my mom. This is just the beginning!
Day 2: Crater Lake & Cascading Meltdown
7:00 AM: Breakfast of Champions (or, whatever the Super 8 offers). The "continental breakfast." Let's just say the stale donuts are not the best fuel for a day of hiking.
8:00 AM: Crater Lake Bound! The drive to Crater Lake is gorgeous. Driving through the forest leaves you with a sense of awe. The trees are tall, and the road is windy. This is what I came here for.
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM: Crater Lake National Park. Okay, here's where the real magic happens. Crater Lake. Holy Moly. The bluest, most stunning water I've ever seen. The views are breathtaking, the air is crisp, the sheer scale of the lake is humbling. I'm instantly humbled by its beauty. I took a zillion pictures, gasped out loud several times, and generally felt like I was in a postcard. And yes, I did get emotional.
3:00 PM: Ice Cream. After a day of hiking, your girl needs a treat. Found a little roadside ice cream stand on the way back. Best. Decision. Ever.
4:00 PM: Road Trip Meltdown. Driving back to the hotel, I have a major meltdown. Maybe it was the miles driven or the lack of coffee. Either way, it was ugly. I just lost it. So, I pulled over at the next town to make an emergency call to a friend. "You know, I thought I was ready for this trip, but this is too much. I'm so stressed. I don't even know why I planned this trip." I just talked and talked and talked. At least I didn't get a speeding ticket… this time.
6:00 PM: Dinner (Redemption!). I'm craving comfort food and a stiff drink. I found a cute little restaurant! It's a very nice place where they serve local wine. Finally, something that makes me happy.
8:00 PM: The Final Battle with the Remote & Bedtime. Exhausted, I am going to bed. This trip is the most amazing experience I can have.
Day 3: Departure & Reflection (or, Survived!)
7:00 AM: Farewell Breakfast. One last pathetic donut. Goodbye, Super 8, you were… memorable.
8:00 AM: Check Out. The front desk clerk is different today. Maybe they felt sorry for me. Maybe I got a free breakfast.
9:00 AM: Drive Home. The road stretches out ahead.
Throughout the Drive: Reflection. Okay, the trip was a rollercoaster. There were moments of pure joy (Crater Lake!), moments of sheer frustration (that burger!), and moments where I was pretty much reduced to a sobbing mess. But you know what? I survived. And maybe, just maybe, that's the point. It's the messiness, the imperfections, the unexpected detours that make these trips unique. I will never forget this trip to Medford.
So, there you have it. The Super 8 Showdown. Messy, honest, and utterly human. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap. And a therapy session. And maybe a lifetime supply of travel socks.
