Escape the bustle of Chicago when you choose Super 8 Hebron Lowell Area hotel. Conveniently located off I-65, if you choose you can easily reach Chicago-area attractions in less than 50 miles.
Fish, hike, horseback ride, and canoe at Kankakee River, only eight miles from our hotel. Test your luck at Horseshoe Casino, just 35 miles away. Take an exciting journey to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, where you can hike, swim, fish, and trek over sand dunes across 23 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Take a day trip to Chicago, about an hour away.
I would rate this hotel at about a 6 out of 10 (with 10 being the best). It's clean but sparse.

00:00For this video I'm going to take you on a full hotel tour of the Super 8 by
00:04Wyndham located in Hebron, Indiana.
01:01As you probably already know, I wasn't always a YouTuber. I had a long list of
01:09dead-end, terrible, really bad jobs including school teaching and being a
01:14long-haul truck driver. The reason why I mention this is I've already been to
01:19this hotel and it was a very long time ago, about 15 years. At the time I was a
01:24long-haul truck driver for Warner Enterprises and they gave me an old
01:28truck because I was a new driver and you know after a couple trips it was
01:33just a catastrophic failure with the diesel motor. So they actually got
01:38me a hotel room at the Super 8 because it was next to the interstate right
01:42where the truck broke down. So I figured it would be kind of cool to kind of
01:47revisit an old hotel that I stayed at in the past. It's pretty much exactly how I
01:51remembered it. When I booked it through Hotels.com it had like a 7.5 rating out
01:57of 10. So it's rated pretty well and I can understand it. It's a very quiet
02:02hotel. The rooms are really well maintained. You can tell the maintenance
02:07up here is pretty good and it's kind of a nice change of pace because a lot of
02:13these hotels that are next to truck stops like this one are usually kind of
02:17seedy and run down. This is kind of like an outlier. You can talk to just about
02:22any long-haul truck driver and they probably have some amazing stories about
02:27some of the really bad hotels they stayed at over the years. So this is not
02:31what you would expect from a hotel that seems to specialize in accommodations
02:37for truck drivers. You know this is right in the middle of a bunch of truck stops.
02:41This particular Super 8 is next to a Flying J and across the street from a
02:45Pilot. There's not a lot of amenities in this hotel. The biggest thing that they
02:51have is basically like an ice machine and a soda machine. There's really
02:55not a lot going on here. There's no buffet. There's really no tourist
03:00attractions around here. You know it's basically just a one-star hotel because
03:05of the accommodations that are available. They don't really have anything like a
03:10swimming pool or like an exercise room. They've got none of that stuff. It's very
03:16basic hotel accommodations but that's all you probably need because most most
03:21truck drivers all they want is like a shower and a quiet place to sleep and a
03:26comfortable bed. They did have a couple like park benches outside you know a
03:30couple lounge chairs but it's pretty minimal. I mean I wouldn't even call it a
03:35patio. It's just very very sparse for those things. They did have a parking lot
03:41specifically for big trucks so if you've got like a 53-foot trailer hooked up to
03:46the back of your tractor you're not gonna have any issues getting trapped in
03:49the parking lot and I know some hotels are kind of like that where they're just
03:52not intended for a maneuvering a tractor trailer but there's no such issues here
03:57at the Super 8. So let's talk about the amenities inside the room. The Wi-Fi
04:02signal is really good at least it was in my room. You know you got a flat-screen
04:06TV, mini fridge, microwave oven, pretty much everything you would expect. The
04:12bathroom was really clean. The hot water in the shower was really quick. I was
04:18surprised at how responsive it was. I think I was probably close to the hot
04:22water heater I don't know but you know it was like almost instantaneous and the
04:27water pressure was good. The linens on top of the bed were nice and clean. I
04:31even had my infrared flashlight with me so I could see if they weren't. Overall I
04:37just you know it was a very very good experience and if you are traveling
04:41through Indiana and looking for a nice clean hotel to stay then I would
04:47definitely recommend this Super 8 in Hebron, Indiana. So what's my bottom line
04:52for the Super 8? I normally rate these hotels on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10
04:58being the best. Now the lack of amenities you know without a swimming pool or
05:02exercise room or arcade or anything I definitely take a couple points off for
05:07that. This is a very clean hotel. I still wouldn't quite give it a 7.5 like hotels.
05:14I'd probably more dial it in probably it's probably about a 6 out of 10. The
05:20location is very convenient you can walk you know right next door to the truck
05:25stop and eat a sandwich or get some coffee so the the proximity to a
05:31couple you know quick-service restaurants is nice. Maybe give it like a
05:35quarter point for that but there's not a lot going on in Indiana and I don't see
05:41tourists coming to this particular hotel so I'm not sure if anyone's even
05:44gonna watch this video but you know I stayed at this hotel so I figured I'd
05:49review it nonetheless and that's how I ended up here. Thanks for joining me on
