Buttonwillow Getaway: Super 8's Unbeatable Deals!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the… ahem… experience that is Buttonwillow Getaway: Super 8's Unbeatable Deals! I'm talking unfiltered, raw, and probably a little bit too honest here. Let's get real. You want a review? You got it. And believe me, after my stay, I have opinions.

First things first: Let’s address the elephant in the (probably slightly threadbare) room: accessibility. They say they have facilities for disabled guests. And guess what? They kinda do! Elevators are a godsend, folks, especially after that second (or third… or fourth) slice of pizza at the [restaurant name - gotta find it] on your way in. They do have to have them, right? But, I gotta say, I didn’t go deep diving on this one so I'm not the best person to ask. Someone using wheelchair had better chime in.
Now, the internet. Internet access is crucial, especially when you’re a social media addict like myself and need to document every single moment of your incredibly exciting trip (which, in this case, was… Buttonwillow). The good news? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woo-hoo! (Small victory dance). The even better news? It actually worked a decent amount of the time. I mean, you could stream… most of Netflix. Okay, maybe not the 4K stuff. But hey, it's free! And let’s be honest, that's the level of internet access you expect when you're looking for unbeatable deals. I'm not in an internet cafe here, I’m in a Super 8.
Cleanliness and safety: Okay, this is where I got… intrigued. They trumpet anti-viral cleaning products and daily disinfection in common areas. Okay, that’s good, right? A doctor or nurse is on call, too, but who are you calling when you’re dealing with a cold? No idea but if you have one I guess. And hand sanitizer everywhere, which, during the ongoing situation? Absolutely applaudable. I walked into my room, prepared to be disappointed. Instead, it felt… clean. Like, actually clean. The bedspread wasn’t stuck to the ceiling, you know? Impressive. I even checked the room sanitization opt-out available box, just in case my inner germaphobe started its usual rampage, I would know. It turned out I didn't use it, I was impressed!
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Ah, yes, the sustenance department. The restaurant, a surprisingly delightful part of the whole experience, was it was the best part. Now, I'm no food critic, but it makes a mean… something. I got the Asian breakfast, it was the kind of fuel you need before a long road trip. There’s a bar - you know, the essentials. Coffee/tea in the restaurant, a lifeline for those of us who can't start the day without a caffeine fix. They even have a snack bar. What amazed me was that they have a vegetarian restaurant option. Super impressive, my vegetarian friends!
The experience?
The Swimming Pool. Okay, brace yourselves. This is where things get real. The day began as any other. Bright, and sunny, but also stressful because of the travel. Arriving at the Super 8, I knew instantly. this has to be the main event. I had seen pictures of the swimming pool, it looked nice, seemed clean. it had a pool with view! so I went right to my room, dropped my bags, and put on my swimsuit.
As I walked toward the pool, I took my time, ready to get my fun on.
Before I reached the pool, I paused. I felt this… anticipation. Like a kid on Christmas Eve. I glanced up at the windows, and started walking towards the pool, taking it all in.
And then… I saw it. The pool! It was perfect! The swimming pool was, in the words of my grandmother, 'just right'.
I spent the next hour… just swimming. No work, no worries. Pure bliss. The perfect way to de-stress.
Services and conveniences: They’ve got the basics down, folks. Pretty standard stuff. Daily housekeeping – hooray for clean towels, right? Laundry service for those of us who might, ahem, pack a little lightly. Gift/souvenir shop if you, like me, are terrible at remembering to buy the trinkets until the last minute.
For the kids: Family/child friendly. I didn't have kids with me, but they seemed to have kids facilities. In short, your kids will find something to do, the question is, will you find something to do too?
Available in all rooms: Air conditioning – essential for those hot Buttonwillow days. Coffee/tea maker. Boom. Free bottled water. I’m not sure how essential this is, but okay. Wi-Fi [free]. We’ve covered this.

Escape to Paradise: Waterfront Irish Haven Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. We're going to Buttonwillow, California, baby, and we're staying at the Super 8. Let's see how this whole adventure unfolds, shall we?
The Buttonwillow Boogie Woogie (and Possible Breakdown)
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread
- 1:00 PM: Land in Bakersfield. Okay, first off, Bakersfield. It's… well, it's Bakersfield. I'm already questioning my life choices a little. The drive to Buttonwillow is, to put it mildly, sparse. Endless fields of… stuff. I think it’s cotton? Or maybe just boredom. I’m definitely going to need snacks. Lots of snacks.
- 2:30 PM: Check-in at Super 8. Okay, here we are. The Super 8. Don't get me wrong, it’s… a room. A place to put my stuff. It has a bed? And a TV? Okay, the check-in lady, bless her heart, was a little too enthusiastic. Like, she genuinely seemed PSYCHED about my arrival. Buttonwillow, you wild place, you.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Room Reconnaissance. Inspect the room. The carpet… well, it’s got character. Let's just say it’s seen some things. The shower head looks like it’s seen better days. Hey, I'm not expecting the Ritz. The AC is kicking, though. Thank God. It's hot out there.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Buttonwillow "Downtown" Expedition. I use that term loosely. There's a gas station, a diner (potentially… scary?), and a lot of empty space. I'm feeling a deep, abiding sense of nothingness. Maybe I’ll just sit in the car and contemplate the meaning of life. Or at least the meaning of this trip.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Diner Drama? Seriously, I am tempted to go to the only diner, but I can't shake this feeling. Then I went, and the food felt like it was from another era, like 1970: the fries felt lukewarm. The waitress had seen it all. Good. I am in good hands. I ate a burger, though. It was okay.
- 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Hotel Room Shenanigans. Channel Surfing (mostly infomercials, because, Buttonwillow), snack consumption, and a healthy dose of pre-sleep anxiety about tomorrow's… thing. I mean, this is supposed to be a vacation. Why do I feel like I'm in a David Lynch film?
Day 2: Racing Dreams and Crushing Realities
- 7:00 AM: Alarm! Ugh. Getting up early is the hardest part. Even harder than eating lukewarm diner food. Breakfast provided by the Super 8: the usual suspects. Waffles. Sugar-laden cereal. Coffee that tastes like weak battery acid. My body already hates me.
- 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM: Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Okay, here we go. I'm here for the racing. I booked a beginner's track day. My inner child is screaming with excitement. My inner adult is whispering, "You're going to crash and die." But, the adrenaline is pumping. It's exhilarating. I am driving slow, but fun. Still, as the day wears on, the excitement begins to wane. The sunburn stings, the helmet hair has me looking like a crazed poodle, and the cost of the entire experience starts to dawn on me. Ouch. The joy quickly replaced by a bone-deep exhaustion and a very real appreciation for the intricacies of race car driving. Man, that was fun, but my wallet is screaming.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the Super 8. Shower. (Thankfully, the water pressure actually works.) Collapse on the bed. The carpet seems a little less threatening now.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. I contemplate going back to the diner but the thought is too soul-crushing. There's a Subway I found nearby… and I am not going to judge myself. The bread it soft and the meat is fresh. Not too bad.
- 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: TV. This time, there is a new show I start to be hooked on. The AC whirs like a tiny, overworked engine. I feel peaceful. Buttonwillow, you're growing on me, despite yourself.
Day 3: Departure and Contemplation (of Carpet)
- 7:30 AM: Wake up. The alarm is the worst. Repeat breakfast, but now with a resigned acceptance. The waffles are surprisingly… edible? I'm becoming a Buttonwillow convert.
- 8:30 AM: Pack my suitcase. I leave the room in roughly the same condition as I found it – a chaotic mixture of belongings and existential dread.
- 9:00 AM: Check-out. The check-out lady is still cheerful, even after the ordeal of my stay. She smiles at me as if I haven’t seen the road, the racers, the food, or the TV.
- 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM: Drive back to Bakersfield. The endless cotton fields are no longer quite so intimidating. I might actually miss the quiet.
- 11:30 AM: Airport and Farewell. I would be glad to be back and look forward to getting back to my normal schedule.
Final Thoughts:
Buttonwillow. It’s not for the faint of heart. Or the fussy eater. Or anyone who expects luxury. But it's real. Raw. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need. The Super 8 wasn’t fancy, but it was a place to rest your head. The racing was wild. And despite the existential dread, the lukewarm diner food, and the questionable carpet… I’d do it again. Maybe. After a long nap. And a really good burger.
Leukerbad's Hidden Gem: Uncover Les Naturelles' Secrets!
Okay, so "Unbeatable Deals"... what's the *real* deal? Like, are we talking Motel 6 but with slightly less existential dread?
Alright, real talk time. "Unbeatable Deals" translates to "Hey, we're cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express… *maybe*." Look, it's SUPER 8, not the Ritz. Think budget-friendly, think… let's just say "character." I once found a stray french fry under the bed… lasted a good three days, I think I might have named it, "Ferdinand" after the bull. The deals are genuinely good, especially if you're road-tripping and need a crash pad, or if you’re like me and have a habit of blowing your vacation budget *way* before you even leave home. Plus, sometimes, they have those ridiculously discounted rates if you book last minute… it’s like a little scavenger hunt for cheap sleeps! You gotta check the fine print though, sometimes "deals" also includes "limited amenities", like how I swear the pool was out of order literally every time I went.
Is it actually *in* Buttonwillow? 'Cause my GPS can be a jerk.
YES! It's actually *in* Buttonwillow! Praise the navigational gods! It's on the main drag, so it's hard to miss, unless, you know, you’re me and have a talent for missing exits. I swear I once drove past it, circled back, and *still* almost missed it. Buttonwillow is tiny, so, consider it's in Buttonwillow… you can almost *smell* the race track from the rooms, which is either awesome if you're a race car enthusiast or slightly annoying if you’re trying to sleep.
The reviews say the breakfast is… something. Describe the breakfast. Don't sugarcoat it.
Okay, "breakfast." Let's just say it's… an experience. I once walked in on what I *think* was a lone bagel guarding an orange machine. The usual suspects are there: stale, pre-wrapped muffins (that may or may not be older than me), industrial-strength coffee (strong enough to strip paint), lukewarm scrambled eggs of questionable origin, and a waffle maker that *promises* more than it *delivers*. But, and this is a big but: it’s free! And sometimes, on a good day, if you show up REALLY early, the waffles are actually crispy. And let’s be honest, the “breakfast” is part of the charm. It’s like a team-building exercise in accepting your fate and appreciating the simple things, like a plastic cup.
Are the rooms clean? Like, *really* clean? 'Cause I'm a germophobe.
Okay, look, "clean" is subjective. I've had rooms that were spotless, and I've had rooms that had... well, let's just say I've discovered dust bunnies old enough to vote. The cleaning staff *tries*, bless their hearts. It's budget, remember? Bring wipes. Lots and lots of wipes. And maybe a hazmat suit. Kidding! (Mostly.) Usually, they're *adequately* clean. Focus on the essentials: clean sheets, a working shower, and you're golden. My advice? Go into it expecting a *rustic* vibe and you won't be disappointed. Or, at least, less disappointed. I had a friend once who kept a spray bottle of disinfectant in his bag. Smart guy.
I'm bringing the kids. Is it kid-friendly?
Kid-friendly… hmmm. Well, they have a pool, which is always a win. Assuming the pool is, ya know, actually *open*. And functioning. And not filled with questionable floaty things. My advice: Pack the pool toys, bring the kid-friendly versions of disinfectant wipes, and keep a close eye on them. This is an easy way to make friends with other traveling families, and there's usually plenty of families around. I once saw a kid find a *real* treasure in the parking lot – a half-eaten bag of chips. His mom wasn’t pleased. But hey, memories!
Is the staff helpful? Do they actually *care*?
The staff? Ah, the staff. They are generally… what's the word… *present*. They're usually friendly enough, in a weary traveler kind of way. They’ve seen it all, I’m sure. They're not going to write you a poem about your day, but they will (usually) help you with whatever you need. And honestly? That’s all you can ask for sometimes. Dealing with the public, and dealing with all the weirdos who are traveling to Buttonwillow is a tough gig! I've found that a smile and a little bit of kindness goes a long, long way. Also, tip 'em! They work hard. Even if the coffee is… well, you know.
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks. What's the *one* thing I should absolutely, positively know before booking?
Pack earplugs. Seriously. This is especially important if you are sensitive to noise, or if you are trying to catch some sleep during a race event. This is Buttonwillow, baby! There are race cars! And while the rumble is (mostly) awesome, it can be incessant. Truckers doing late-night runs, the occasional party, and the general hum of the hotel itself... trust me on this one. Earplugs are your new best friend. And even better, get a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Your sanity will thank you. I once forgot my earplugs. It was…an experience. One I still remember. It involved a lot of cursing and a very grumpy morning.
The pool! Tell me about the pool! It looks… inviting.
Oh, the pool. The *pool*. Okay, so. The pool is… a gamble. Sometimes, it's a shimmering oasis of chlorinated bliss. Other times… not so much. I've seen it crystal clear, inviting you in, promising relaxation. I've also seen it… well, let's just say "questionable." One time, there were leaves. A LOT of leaves. It looked like someone had thrown an entire fall harvest in there. Another time? I *think* there was a small, dead frog. (I’m pretty sure, I didn’t getHidden Stay
