PARSIPPANY, N.J. (December 11, 2024) – This holiday season, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is sending a Public Service Announcement to travelers coast-to-coast: stay close to your loved ones without actually staying with them. It’s all part of the Company’s humorous, new ad campaign, dubbed “Stay Close,” which is now live across social, digital, email and brand.com in the U.S. and Canada.
Created in partnership with Havas New York and produced by Annex 88, Stay Close delivers a comedic spin on the universal truths of travel while poking fun at the common pitfalls of holiday family gatherings. Whether its escaping “aunt-arazzi” – the aspiring midlife influencer; Cousin Carl’s relentless investment pitches; or simply avoiding that dreaded pull-out couch; staying at a Hotel by Wyndham means happily embracing the chance to connect while knowing each night you can escape to a personal retreat.
“The holidays can be a magical time with family and friends, but let’s face it, a little personal space and a real bed go a long way. No matter where your travels may take you across the U.S. this holiday season, chances are there’s a Hotel by Wyndham just 10 minutes away.
– Marissa Yoss, VP Media and Brand Marketing, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Wyndham’s holiday campaign will launch with a comprehensive omnichannel strategy running through the end of the year, featuring 6- and 15-second ads on digital video and connected TV on YouTube, along with social media and email, reaching travelers with the all-too-relatable moments of holiday travel.
Whether opting for a comfortable hotel stay over Grandma’s pullout couch or simply seeking extra comfort while staying just close enough to family, holiday travelers can earn 7,500 bonus Wyndham Rewards points—enough for a free stay at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham—when they stay two nights, now through January 20, 2025. Nights do not need to be consecutive and Wyndham Rewards members may take advantage of the promotion two times for a total of 15,000 bonus points. Terms and conditions apply.

Looking fresh: America’s trusted roadside brand celebrates 50 years and a modern makeover with historically low room rates—available at hundreds of hotels for a limited time
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 29, 2024) – Dial-up internet, landlines, and VHS tapes—some things are best left in the past. But with age, some things only get better. At 50 years young, Super 8—America’s trusted roadside hotel brand—has never looked or felt better and to celebrate, the brand is giving guests a chance to book a room this summer at the same rate it charged in 1974: $8.88 a night plus tax. Act fast though – only 888 nights are available at the reduced rate.
“Remember when eight bucks could get you something special? Super 8 sure does! This milestone isn’t about looking back but celebrating how far we’ve come: from a single hotel in Aberdeen, South Dakota to one of the world’s largest hotel brands with over 2,600 locations worldwide. And while our yearly odometer may read 50—continued investment by our franchisees means our hotels don’t look or feel it.”
– Mike Mueller, President, Super 8 by Wyndham
Turning Back the Clock Back in 1974, a gallon of gas cost just fifty-three cents, a bag of beef jerky was a buck, and a night at the original Super 8 in Aberdeen, South Dakota a cool $8.88. The inaugural room rate – a nod to the number eight in its name – symbolized the start of the brand’s groundbreaking mission to make comfortable, budget-friendly accommodations accessible to all.
Say goodbye to grandpa’s boxy dresser and grandma’s floral bedspreads because, at 50 years young, Super 8 is more vibrant than ever. Following a massive, $140+ million brand overhaul by franchisees just a few years ago, rooms today feature sleek furniture, stylish bedding and a host of modern amenities, all built around the brand’s signature offering—one-of-a-kind headboards featuring larger-than-life, bed-to-ceiling, hyper-local black and white art reflective of each hotel and its unique destination.
$8.88? That’s Super! While costs have changed since the 70s, a great stay is forever timeless, especially at Super 8. For a limited time, the brand will bring back its historic $8.88 room rate. Here’s how to get yours:
Starting August 8, 2024, at 8:00 AM ET, 888 room nights will be available for sale at a rate of $8.88 each, plus tax, exclusively at super8.com/throwback.
Sales will be fulfilled in the form of 15,000 Wyndham Rewards points – good for at least one free night at hundreds of Super 8 hotels and points are redeemable for a minimum of 18 months after purchase. Limit of one purchase of 15,000 points per person and available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
You must be a Wyndham Rewards member and provide your membership number at the time of purchase. Travelers are strongly encouraged to join prior to attempting to purchase so they can have their member number on hand. Join for free at wyndhamrewards.com/join.
Upon successfully purchasing, points will be credited to your Wyndham Rewards account within three business days.

America’s trusted roadside brand embarks on an epic eight-city road trip while
helping some of its most loyal guests—truck drivers—get road ready for the journey ahead
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (August 8, 2023) – The open road never looked so good. Super 8® by Wyndham, the economy hotel brand known for being travelers’ trusted companion on the road, today kicked-off a year-long celebration for its upcoming 50th anniversary with a pop-up salon in the brand’s home state of South Dakota. Nearly 50 years young and sporting a more than $140 million brand refresh, the activation is the start of an epic eight-city road trip across the Midwest as Super 8 looks to help some of its most rugged and loyal guests—truck drivers—get a fresh new look for the journey ahead.
“We’ve come a long way since opening our doors in 1974, and while we’ll soon turn 50, our hotels, many of which have undergone head-to-toe room renovations these last several years, certainly don’t look or feel it,” said Mike Mueller, president, Super 8 by Wyndham. “Inspired by our own modern makeover, now we want to help our guests look and feel as good as we do, and we’re starting with some of our favorite, most rugged road warriors out there—the heroes of our highways—truckers.”
Helping highway long haulers find their new look is entrepreneur and hairstylist to the stars, Kim Kimble, who is also known for her recent work on HBO’s hit series Euphoria. A third-generation hair stylist, Kimble started her career as a shampoo girl at her family’s salon in Los Angeles before rising up the ranks as a trailblazer in the beauty industry.
“I love transforming people to feel their best. When I can help someone gain confidence or a little extra pep in their step, it’s like I’m making the world a little brighter, said Kimble. “We all know truckers work ferociously day in and day out to keep America moving and for that, they deserve to be lifted up and celebrated. That’s why I’m so excited to team up with Super 8 on this initiative, doling out fresh new looks for some of its best guests.”
Hitting the Road in Style Since first opening its doors in Aberdeen, S.D. in 1974, Super 8 has served as a home-away from home for millions, especially truckers, who spend an average of 300 days a year on the road. Following today’s event, the brand is taking its pop-up salon on the road—hitting seven additional Super 8 hotels over the next seven days, where it will work with local stylists to serve up fresh, new looks for hotel staff, guests and the public. Consults, cuts and styles will be available on a first come, first serve basis from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily with the first hour at each stop reserved exclusively for hotel staff and guests. More details on the events can be found at www.super8.com/makeover. Stops include:
A Modern Stay for Modern Travelers With more than 1,400 convenient locations across the U.S., Super 8 by Wyndham makes it easy for travelers to answer the call of the open road—all while staying in style and comfort. Gone are the days of grandma’s floral bedspreads and in their place, fully redesigned rooms with updated bedding and curtains, a refreshed color palette, sleek finishings, modern amenities and signature black and white photo headboards. Each headboard is hyper-localized, and emits a contemporary, postcard-feel while depicting iconic landmarks and landscapes specific to each hotel.
Guests can get up to 15% off the Best Available Rate at participating Super 8 hotels when they book and pay for their stay at least seven days in advance.

World’s sunniest hotel brand debuts limited-time amenity in time for the busy summer travel season, offers hotel guests compliments at the push of a button
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – (May 16, 2023) – A great compliment is like a ray of sunshine—it brightens your day. That’s why Days Inn® by Wyndham, the iconic hotel brand known for making days brighter, is launching its newest limited-edition “complimentary” amenity: an in-room mirror that gives compliments at the push of a button. Voiced by beloved television personality, host, and producer, Ross Mathews, it might just be the world’s most flattering mirror.
Adored for his signature style and best known for his wit and charm as co-host of The Drew Barrymore Show, as well as judge and producer of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Mathews teamed up with Days Inn to deliver undeniably funny, morale-boosting messages sure to make anyone smile. From praising guests for just how much they light up the room to admiring their signature style, each pre-recorded message is designed to ready guests to head out and Seize the Days®.
“Making people smile is engrained in my DNA, which is why this project is such a perfect fit,” said Mathews. “Everyone deserves to feel their best, no matter who they are or where they’re going, and I can’t think of a better solution than having your own hotel room equipped with a personal cheerleader. It’s the perfect morning pick-me-up as travelers head out to seize the day.”
The mirror, available at select Days Inn hotels across the U.S. and Canada, is the second iteration of the sunny hotel brand’s line of “complimentary” amenities. Last summer, Days Inn introduced what it coined “the world’s nicest pillow” – a pillow that dished out cheeky compliments, helping guests start their day with a smile.
“At Days Inn, we are in the business of making days brighter and we know this mirror will bring guests an extra dose of sunshine,” said John Henderson, president and brand leader, Days Inn by Wyndham. “Whether it’s getting guests excited before a beach day or fun at the theme park, our complimentary mirror complements the friendly service and amenities guests already count on – like a great night’s sleep, complimentary light breakfast, free Wi-Fi, fitness center or swimming pool.”
The Days Inn Complimentary Mirror is available at the following select cities and locations across the U.S. and Canada starting May 22, 2023, and will remain available through June 30, 2023.

U.S. guests to be randomly surprised with one of 99 limited-edition ‘Reconnected’ Travel Keepsake Boxes;
one lucky person will win a 10-night stay at the Wyndham Grand hotel of their choice
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – (December 6, 2021) The holidays are officially here. As travelers once again look to reconnect and enjoy the company of loved ones, Wyndham Grand® is getting into the spirit of the season—randomly surprising and delighting guests at its U.S. hotels with its first-ever ‘Reconnected’ Travel Keepsake Box.
Curated in partnership with TV personality and mom of three, Catherine Lowe, and the family memento specialists at Savor, the Wyndham Grand Reconnected Keepsake Box helps families reconnect and experience the forgotten joys of tech-free travel, all while providing a family keepsake they can cherish forever.
“At Wyndham Grand, we’re on a mission to help families disconnect from the demands of technology, work and day-to-day life so that they can truly vacation and enjoy their time together,” said Carolina Matias-Perez, senior director of Brand Marketing for Wyndham Grand. “In an age of selfies and constant social sharing, it can be hard to be present. Our Reconnected Travel Keepsake Boxes are a reminder to live in the moment and cherish the memories we make with our families.”
Featuring a timeless design that blends soft fabrics and upscale finishes, each Reconnected Keepsake Box includes, among other items, a Fujifilm Instax® Mini 11 with film—allowing the recipient to ditch their camera phone, complete with its hundreds of forgotten shots—and a letter from Lowe sharing tips and tricks she uses with her own kids to create tech-free family fun. Other features include an array of compartments, drawers, dividers, as well as custom travel labels, helping make each box the ultimate organizer to capture and preserve travel memories.
“Family photos are one of the few irreplaceable items you can own. They’re invaluable, sentimental, and help us preserve memories and tell stories for future generations,” said Lowe. “In working with Wyndham Grand, I’m sharing ways to create special moments with your own family that are snapshot-worthy and sure to inspire future conversations that start with ‘remember when.’”
On the heels of one of the most isolated years in recent history, upcoming holiday travel provides a much-needed opportunity for families to reunite and make up for lost time. Now more than ever, families are cognizant of the value of making memories and sharing time in-person together. While phones and computers keep us connected, research shows that disconnecting from these devices is more beneficial for our health and relationships.[1]
Wyndham Grand hotels will start randomly gifting a limited supply of Reconnected Travel Keepsake Boxes to those staying at its U.S. hotels beginning the week of December 6, 2021 and continuing through December 31, 2021, while supplies last. To be eligible, guests must have made their reservation prior to December 6, 2021. Boxes are not available upon request and gifting is at the discretion of each hotel’s management team while supplies are available. Wyndham Grand will give away a total of 99 boxes across all participating hotels. Each box carries an approximate retail value of $130.
Complementing the surprise and delight activities at its hotels, Wyndham Grand is also giving those at home a chance win their own keepsake box, plus a 10-night stay at the Wyndham Grand hotel of their choice (provided in the form of Wyndham Rewards points), when they enter the brand’s Wyndham Grand Reconnected Sweepstakes. To enter, travelers age 21 and over should send an email to [email protected] with a brief write-up describing how they would use the hotel stay to reconnect with family, along with a pledge to make time to disconnect from their digital devices this holiday season. No purchase is necessary to enter and the approximate retail value of the prize is $4,030. All entries must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2021. For eligibility and other information, visit www.wyndhamgrand.com/reconnected.
Holiday deal seekers looking to make the most of their travels in the months ahead can earn 3x Wyndham Rewards points at Wyndham Grand and other select properties when they book by December 31, 2021. Guests must stay a minimum of three nights and complete their stay by February 28, 2022. Stays are cancellable, free of penalty, up to 72-hours before check-in.
