Matchbook - Super 8 Motel (Nationwide)

In Stock 1

Super 8 by Wyndham, commonly known as Super 8, is an American hotel brand, being the world's largest budget hotel chain with over 2,000 locations worldwide. The chain is a subsidiary of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. The original room cost was $8.88 per night. As of October 2022, the brand website listed 2,091 hotels worldwide.

Ron Rivett and Dennis Brown created the new Super 8 Motel Corporation with each of them owning 50% of the stock in the new company. The original room rate was US$8.88 (equivalent to $50.07 in 2021), hence the numeric brand name. The first Super 8, with 60 rooms, opened in Aberdeen, South Dakota, in 1974, built near a Holiday Inn with just some drawings made by Rivett as blueprints. The stucco exterior with an English Tudor style was inspired by Rivett's father-in-law, who was a stuccoer; the English Tudor style and placing of Super 8's near Holiday Inns was an established procedure for setting up new Super 8's for years to come.
