Unbelievable Deals! Super 8 Innisfail (AB) - My Dream Getaway? Let's See… (A REALLY Honest Review)
Okay, buckle up, because this isn't your average, polished hotel review. This is real life. I’ve just spent a couple of days at the Super 8 in Innisfail, Alberta, and "Dream Getaway" might be pushing it. But "Functional and Affordable Place to Crash?" Yeah, maybe. Let's break it down, shall we? And by "break it down," I mean let's go full-on scatterbrain mode.
First Impressions (and Immediately Getting Side-Tracked)
So, Unbelievable Deals! Ooh, promises, promises. The first thing that hit me was… well, the exterior corridor. Instant flashback to every roadside motel movie I’ve ever seen. You know, the kind where a suspicious figure might be lurking. But hey, at least it’s not pitch black. There's a decent amount of lighting, which is a winner in my books (especially after that horror movie marathon I subjected myself to last night).
- Accessibility: Okay, this is actually pretty crucial. They boast "Facilities for disabled guests," which is a good start. I didn’t personally test it, but I’m hoping it's up to snuff considering the emphasis in today's hospitality.
- Getting Around: Free parking? YES! A huge win. I hate paying for parking. And they claim a car park on-site. Also, a car power charging station? Very considerate for those electric vehicle road-trippers out there. Taxi service also available, helpful.
Into The Labyrinth (aka My Room)
My room! Alright. Cleanliness is always a concern, I'm a bit of a neat freak and I get the creeps if a place looks unkempt.
- Cleanliness and Safety: Apparently, they're super serious about cleaning. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection, and room sanitization opted-out where possible. Sounds promising! They've got a thing called "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items." This is good, this is GOOD. Daily disinfection in common areas? Sounds good. And, blessedly, hand sanitizer is readily available. They've got the buzzwords! Lets just hope it looks as good as it sounds.
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning? CHECK. Alarm clock? CHECK. Free bottled water? CHECK. Now those are essentials. And let me tell you, after a long day of driving, that bottled water saved me. Seriously, a lifesaver. They got a mini-bar in the room – that's fantastic!
- Things in the Room: Let's Check: I found a coffee/tea maker which is perfect, I like an early wake up. I like my curtains to be blackout, and these are! I love the seating area - perfect for reading or a call. They've got a desk perfect for writing. And the internet access – wireless. I hope it works!
The Internet: A Love-Hate Relationship (Mostly Hate, Let's Be Honest)
Speaking of internet… FREE Wi-Fi! In theory, AMAZING. In reality, sometimes it felt like it was powered by a hamster on a particularly slow wheel. I'm not exaggerating. I swear, I spent half my time staring at the spinning wheel of doom. Maybe it was because I was trying to stream a movie. Maybe it was just…the way things are. Look, the wifi was there, technically. That’s the best I can say.
- Internet Access – Wireless(Wi-Fi [free]): They have it. Sometimes it works. Bring a book. Or two. Or ten. Just in case.
The Food Situation (A Tale of Two Breakfasts)
Breakfast is included, and… well, it's a solid "meh." It's a buffet, but the options were pretty basic. I wouldn't classify the Western breakfast as "dreamy," but it filled a hole. Now, they boast "Breakfast takeaway service," and I did see a guy grab a bagel and run. So, that's an option if you're in a hurry. They also mention the Asian breakfast, I didn't see any so don't get your hopes up. However, the "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was alright. Fuel for the soul.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: Breakfast service, Buffet in Restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant…it’s a hotel breakfast. It is what it is.
Ways to Relax (Or Attempt To)
They mention things like a fitness center, sauna, spa/sauna, steamroom, swimming pool, and pool view. I didn’t get to try any of these because… well, that's not really my scene. But hey, if you like a good sauna after a long day, go for it!
- Pool with view, Swimming pool, Sauna: Ok, I'll admit, the outdoor pool looked tempting (especially with that crazy summer heat).
Services and Conveniences: More Than Meets the Eye (Maybe)
Okay, here's where things get interesting. They offer a TON of stuff: a convenience store, dry cleaning, elevator (thank God), laundry service, cash withdrawal (always useful), a concierge which I never saw but good it’s there, and even a gift/souvenir shop which, let's be honest, is usually just overpriced junk. Plus, "Facilities for disabled guests", "Food delivery." They really did try to cover all bases.
For the Kids (And The Rest of Us)
They mention "Family/child friendly" and "Kids facilities" and even a "Babysitting service." Look, I'm not a parent, so I can't personally vouch for this, but it's good to know they cater to families.
More Stuff (Because Why Not?)
- Safety/Security: Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Fire extinguisher, CCTV in common areas, they've got it all!
The Verdict: Unbelievable Deals? Maybe. Dream Getaway? Probably Not.
So, is Unbelievable Deals! Super 8 Innisfail a DREAM getaway? Probably not. BUT, for the price? It's a decent, functional, and SAFE place to stay. You get what you pay for, and in this case, you get a clean room, free parking, and the promise of a decent breakfast (emphasis on the promise).

Escape to Toledo: Your Dream Stay at Hilton Garden Inn Perrysburg!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sterile, perfectly-crafted itinerary. This is my potential trip to the Super 8 in Innisfail, Alberta, and let me tell you, things are never as smooth as they look on a travel brochure. Consider this a messy, imperfect, and utterly human account of what might happen.
PRE-TRIP CHAOS (Because let's be real, that's where it starts):
Days Before: Panic sets in. Did I book the right dates? Did I remember to pack socks? Am I really emotionally prepared to leave my couch? (Answer: Probably not). Scrounging for loose change for the vending machines. Visions dance in my head of stale chips and questionable candies.
The Drive (Hopefully): Load the car. Curse the fact that I'm terrible at packing. Decide the trip's soundtrack based on the weather and my current mood (probably something angsty). Vow to listen to a podcast about the history of… well, something… but probably end up singing along to the radio.
The GPS Conspiracy: My phone, bless its digital heart, will inevitably try to steer me into a cow pasture. I'll scream at it. It will ignore me. We will arrive late.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL AND A TASTE OF INNISFAIL… OR NOT.
4:00 PM - Super 8 Check-In: The Ritual. Resist the urge to wear sweatpants. Put on a slightly less-wrinkled shirt. Smile at the receptionist (fake it till you make it). Pray for early check-in. Get handed the key card, feeling a small sense of accomplishment.
4:30 PM - The Room Inspection: A Love-Hate Affair. The first sweep. Is the bed clean? Are there enough towels? Is the air conditioning blasting a blizzard or just a gentle breeze? (Pray for the latter. I hate being cold.) A momentary thrill of "Wow, look at this TV!" quickly followed by "I'm probably not going to use it, am I?"
5:30 PM - The Quest for Food: Decisions, Decisions. The hotel's "continental breakfast" (see later) might be all I get because of the following: Survey the immediate area. Crave a burger. Google "Best Burgers Innisfail." Read a vague review. Get discouraged. Wander around the parking lot, maybe, maybe not.
7:00 PM - The Unexpected Adventure: The Pizza Prophecy. I'm now starving. Maybe I'll just… order some pizza from that place down the street. Should I go for some exotic toppings? (Never, go to the classics. You won't regret it.) I can't decide if it's worth it to go for a thin/thick crust pizza when I can get an amazing pizza just down the road. I'll get my pizza, regardless, and then: This is my moment, I'll think, as the pizza arrives.
8:00 - 9:00 PM - TV and Bedtime: The Daily Round. Eat said pizza. Complain about the lack of channels. Probably end up watching something completely stupid. Consider reading a book but end up staring at the ceiling until I fall asleep.
DAY 2: THE DEEPER DIVE (OR MAYBE JUST A SHALLOW PUDDLE)
7:00 AM - The Continental Breakfast Battle: A War of Attrition. This is where things can get interesting. Stale pastries? Lukewarm coffee? The eternal question: Is that really orange juice? I might be the only one in the room, eating in awkward silence. I have to tell myself it's okay. Grab a breakfast. Eat it.
8:00 AM - Innisfail Explorations: A Promise of Greatness. I had big plans to explore a farmers market/cool shops/that quirky museum everyone raves about. In reality? I stand outside the hotel debating if I should get back in bed.
10:00 AM - The Great Debate. Do I actually leave the hotel room? The decision is based entirely on whether or not my energy/emotional levels are cooperating.
- *If so: I'll force myself to do something. I might try and find a scenic spot, a park, or… well… anything. Let’s be honest, there's a good chance I'll end up in a Tim Hortons.
- *If not: I’m probably back in bed. There is a good chance I will be on my phone, probably reading something I should be working on.
1:00 PM - Finding myself: A New World. Back at that Pizza place. I went again. Maybe it was the best, maybe it was not, but I had to.
3:00 PM - The Innisfail-Super 8 Return. Back at the Super 8. I'm not sure if I will ever do anything besides eat pizza and sit around. Maybe go for a walk.
6:00 PM - One Last Meal: The Final Countdown. I'll weigh my options. I am getting tired. Again: Pizza? Local diner? Reheat the leftovers? (Possibly the most appealing option).
8:00 PM - The Pre-Departure Ritual: I’ll pack (badly). I will probably forget something important. I'll feel a pang of sadness mixed with relief.
DAY 3: DEPARTURE (AND THE AFTERMATH)
7:00 AM - The Last Breakfast Stand: I'll face the continental breakfast (again). Accept my breakfast destiny.
8:00 AM - Checkout and the Goodbye: Actually check the room for all my belongings. Return the key card. Say goodbye. Promise myself I'll return. Maybe. Possibly.
The Drive Home (The Reality Check): Reflect on the trip. Did I enjoy it? Did I accomplish anything? Did I see any sights? Did I eat too much pizza? (Probably). Start planning my next adventure (even if it’s just a trip to the grocery store).
Post-Trip Reality: The world is now different. I am home. I am tired. I have laundry. I will now proceed to spend the next week recovering from my "vacation."
There you have it. An honest, messy, and slightly ridiculous account of what might happen at the Super 8 in Innisfail. Remember, this is not a how-to guide. This is a potential reality. And honestly? That's the fun part, right? The unpredictability, the unexpected pizza runs, the quiet moments of reflection… That's what makes a trip truly memorable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need a nap… and maybe a slice of pizza.

Unbelievable Deals! Super 8 Innisfail (AB) - Your Dream Getaway Awaits! ... Maybe? Let's See!
So... is this place *actually* "Unbelievable Deals" good? Because my Aunt Mildred's definition of a good deal is, shall we say, *generous*.
What's the breakfast *really* like? Don't sugarcoat it, I can handle the truth.
**Pro Tip:** Scope out the butter situation early. Those little plastic cups of butter are PRIME real estate. Sometimes they're gone before 8 AM. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Is it *clean*? Because I'm super sensitive to… you know. Spiders. And questionable carpet stains.
How's the Wi-Fi? Because my life (and work) depends on it. (Sad, but true.)
Is the pool any good? I'm trying to decide if I should bring a swimsuit.
Anything else I should know before I go? Like, weird quirks or hidden gems?
