    Quite a few drivers use this card . https://www.clchotels.com/index.cfm . You have to be careful about parking though . Some say they have truck parking but don't . You end up parking at a nearby business .
    I refuse to stay at Super 8 due to a bad experience . A complaint to the corporate website got no response .

    Won't ever stay at a Super 8 again myself. Stayed at 1 in Jacksonville Fl about 8 years ago, Noticed mold and what looked like mushrooms growing off the ceiling above the toilet. The toilet on the floor above must have been leaking for awhile. Went down to the office to get another room, they said since I had already been in the room for a 1/2 hour, I couldn't get another room without paying for it. Vowed then and there to never again stay at another super 8.

    If I am looking to save $$ though, I will usually find a motel 6. Seems most of them have some form of truck parking.

    This has helped me quiet a few times www.hotels4truckers.com ,but as always,check google sat. to make sure there's room to park. i've had decent luck with Days Inn myself,decent discounts,but they have their share of ''stinkers'' too.

    I am that way about Motel 6. I will never stay at another one

    Back in my coaching days I used to book 20-30 rooms for weekend swim meets. Stayed in a brand new motel 6 in Spartanburg SC. I gave them a credit card when I checked in and had reserved the rooms for 3 nights. After the first day of the meet I get back to the room about 3PM to take a shower before finals to find all of my belongings in a pile in the lobby as well as several of my swimmers. They had a "policy" of requiring payment by 11:00 each day rather than billing the card for all the nights when you check out.

    Whatever chain you go with join the rewards program. They are all free and eventually you will get some free nights.
