The Super 8 at 1301 U.S. Hwy. 136, Rock Port, Missouri, recently announced it has been awarded the annual Pride of Super 8 Award, which recognizes the brand’s top 10% of performing hotels and their staff. This is the third year in a row the Rock Port hotel as earned this honor.

In celebration of the achievement, Samona Pankau, the hotel’s general manager, accepted the award from Super 8 and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts leadership.

“We are so proud to receive this honor, as our team has worked incredibly hard to consistently deliver a high level of service to our guests,” said Mrs. Pankau “This award is a testament to the dedication of our team and our steadfast commitment to our guests. We look forward to welcoming even more travelers in the year to come!”

To be eligible for the award, hotels must have demonstrated strong guest satisfaction, had all their staff complete Wyndham’s required health and safety trainings, and remained in good standing with the brand in the past year.
