Super 8 by Wyndham McLean/Bloomington SW

Feb 21st, 2024

Easily meets the minimum expectations of a safe, clean room to spend a night on a road trip, and budget-friendly. However, there are some quirks and very few of the additional amenities one might expect. The light switches for the bathrooms are on the outside, for some reason. Many TV channels are available, but some are unidentified and some are duplicates; all or nearly all are standard definition, and there's no Weather Channel. The dining room, which clearly used to be a swimming pool, was not used for breakfast on the Sunday morning we were there. Instead the front desk offered "grab and go" breakfast bags to guests who asked, consisting of muffins, a granola bar, and a single-serving bottle of grape juice. A map of Illinois is posted in the hallway; it's dated 2002 but not much has changed in central Illinois since then. There is a McDonald's, slot machine gambling, and a convenience store in easy walking distance, and the old Route 66 passes by the motel just a block away. This Super 8 is easily accessed from I-55 or US 136, though if you're coming from the west it's easy to miss the turn.
