Overview
Super 8 by Wyndham Phoenix Metro North is a budget, 2-star hotel located off Interstate 17 at 8130 N Black Canyon Highway in Phoenix, Arizona.

With a public rating of 2.3 from 1,761 reviews, it is positioned firmly at the economy end of the Phoenix lodging market.
Rooms
Rooms at this property include en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs with premium cable channels, coffeemakers, and free WiFi. Some rooms are located in a separate building block apart from the main reception area.
Dining
The hotel serves a complimentary continental breakfast featuring typical items such as waffles, cereals, fruit, bagels, and juices. Coffee and water are also available at reception, though bottled water is not provided directly in guest rooms.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site facilities include an outdoor pool, a spa, and a laundromat, along with free parking that accommodates trucks and RVs -- a useful feature for road-trippers and commercial drivers. Kids 17 and under stay free when accompanied by an adult.
Location
The hotel sits an 11-minute drive from Downtown Glendale's antique shops and restaurants. It's also within reasonable driving distance of Phoenix attractions including Castles N' Coasters (about 1.9 km away), Piestewa Peak (about 8.7 km away), the Heard Museum and Phoenix Art Museum (both roughly 10 km away), and further afield sites like the Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo, and Camelback Mountain.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road travelers and truck or RV drivers, thanks to its free parking for large vehicles and interstate-adjacent location off I-17. It can also work for families needing a low-cost stop, since kids 17 and under stay free with an adult and a continental breakfast is included. It is less suited to travelers prioritizing polished service, high cleanliness standards, or upscale amenities.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is off Interstate 17, a car is the most practical way to reach both Downtown Glendale (about 11 minutes away) and the wider array of Phoenix attractions, many of which are 10-20 km distant. Guests planning to visit sights like the Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo, or Camelback Mountain should budget drive time accordingly, as none are within easy walking distance. Travelers with early flights or tight checkout schedules should confirm luggage storage arrangements in advance, as at least one guest reported the hotel did not accommodate a short bag-storage extension near checkout.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed and skews toward frustration, reflected in the hotel's low 2.3 rating across 1,761 reviews. Recurring complaints include pest sightings in rooms, concerns about loitering or homeless individuals near guest rooms overnight, and unprofessional or poorly mannered staff service. Some guests found the property reasonably clean and appreciated practical touches like on-site laundry, ice, and a straightforward continental breakfast with standard items such as waffles and cereal. Other logistical frustrations included a lack of bottled water in rooms and inflexibility around late luggage storage before departure.
