Visiting a friend or a loved one for the holidays and need a place to stay? The Super 8 at North Battleford may be able to assist you.
Through Super 8's Annual Rooms at the Inn Holiday program, participating Super 8 properties, like the one in North Battleford, will offer free accommodations on Dec. 24 or Dec. 25 to out-of-town friends or relatives in nearby homes, veterans' homes, hospitals or treatment centers.
"Super 8's Rooms at the Inn program is designed to bring families and friends together during the holidays," Super 8 President and CEP said. "By removing the cost of a motel room, Super 8s across the country will hopefully make holiday gathering a little bit easier for those in need."
According to a press release, Rooms at the Inn was inspired by a similar program started in 1987 by Super 8 franchisees Linda Aamold Tharaldson and Gary Tharaldson of Fargo, N.D. Linda said, because they experienced several family tragedies around the holidays, "Christmas and Thanksgiving were associated with a lot of bad memories for us. We decided a program like this would help us change/turn a negative into a positive."
Super 8 Motels, Inc. adopted the program in 1990. Last year more then 500 Super 8 Motels throughout the Untied States and Canada donated nearly 1,000 rooms. This year the chain expects to give away even more rooms, the release states.
Advance registration is not required, but recommended since the number of available rooms may be limited. Reservations can be made by contacting North Battleford Super 8 at 306-446-8888.
