Would not recommend the jacuzzi suite.
The room was filthy! Trash was found on the floor around the room. The outside door jam was damaged leaving a gap from the wall. For a jacuzzi suite, the room only provided hand towels & a washcloth - adult-size towels had to be requested. The jacuzzi was large but VERY shallow.

The room included a working refrigerator & microwave - both were fairly clean. The ice machine was right next to the room but the cooling unit next to the ice machine made a loud clicking sound when it was on. There was a safe in the room but it didn't work.

There was an exit door near the ice machine but wasn't used due to the parking lot being resurfaced and parking was away from the lot. They only had 1 luggage cart & it couldn't be found when needed.

Room had no towels- we had to ask 3 times to get some. The room did not have microwave or iron as detailed online. The office chair looked like it came out of a dumpster. Building was very poorly maintained, with no locks on patio doors, bathrooms being original 1970s and security doors were not secure. We heard travelers asked for refunds and they left after seeing their rooms and hearing other people complain about their rooms. One couple slept in their vehicle instead. The hotel charged my card partial before I arrived and the balance immediately upon check in- before I saw our room. (Usually it’s just a hold, with balance paid at check out) It appeared that people lived at the hotel. There is an armed security guard in the evenings-nice guy, who does have to be there. We heard him break up a disturbance down the hall from us. Also it’s across the street from an ER, so ambulance noise all night long.

First, we went to check in and the room was not ready. It was 5:45pm. Room was not ready until 6:30. Second, when we did make it to the room a few hours later due to us having a prior engagement. There were no towels. When I called the front desk I was told to come get them myself. There was a leftover razor left on the shower from a previous guest. The tv did not work either. It seems also the place is used as a refuge for low income housing as well. Needless to say, the front staff host was very nice.

Upon checking into my room, I immediately noticed several issues that did not match the standards or amenities advertised. The bathtub/shower was extremely filthy and unsanitary. The condition was so unacceptable that I did not feel comfortable using it at all. Additionally, there was a strong mold or mildew odor coming from the carpet, creating an unpleasant environment from the moment I entered the room.

Another major issue was that the television did not work. When I reported the problem to the front desk, I was not provided with a reasonable solution. Despite a remote control being present in the room, I was told by Syd to operate the television manually. This response was unhelpful and failed to resolve the issue.

I would like to acknowledge Robert at the front desk, who was polite, professional, and genuinely attempted to assist me. Unfortunately, my experience with Syd was the opposite. She repeatedly hung up on my husband while he was simply seeking answers and clarification regarding the issues with our room. This level of customer service was unacceptable and added unnecessary frustration to an already disappointing stay.

Furthermore, despite the property being advertised as a non-smoking hotel, there was a strong smell of marijuana throughout the property upon arrival and throughout the night. There was also excessive noise from other guests, making it difficult to rest.

Due to the unsanitary conditions, non-functioning television, poor customer service, strong

I have never been to a hotel as terrible as this one 😔. I didn't want to bring my things inside, but they probably weren't safe in my truck either. This should not be advertised on any booking site, it's more of a liability. No amenities actually available, no breakfast just 3 Day old coffee. Dirty, no filthy rooms stains on everything. Can smell smoke off different kinds any time of day or night. Would not bring kids to this place. I travel for work approximately 200 days a year this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. If it was not booked 3rd party I would have left day 1 . I'm rethinking this whole booking process it's just not worth it until you actually see the room. Pretty sure the pictures of this hotel were from a different decade.

It started with check in, check in was still 3 I showed up at 3:30 and was told it was going to be 45minutes to an hour before my room would be cleaned. When I got checked in the front desk clerk didn't even tell me how to find my room, I had to ask. Pile of garbage at the back entrance of the building. My room was clean but the smell of cigarettes and pot was strong in the hall. Light fixtures and desk had rust on it. The patio door to my room didn't completely lock, the door would slide open partially. Fortunately I was able to Jimmy the lock on the door to actually work and lock it's self. Mini fridge had a weird smell in it. Real life did not match what the pictures online looked.

I love the gentleman at the front desk when I arrived. He is very kind and professional.
The property was a mess. You didn’t have to scan your card to get into the building because that was broken. The locks on the sliding patio doors were broken. There was a BB gun hole in the patio door of the first room. My original room had not been cleaned so I was given another room. I heard the cleaning staff say to someone else “ it’s not THAT dirty. In the 2nd room the door handle area was all busted up. There was a strange colored large hand print on the wall next to the bathroom mirror. The bed was just OK. It looked like some people were living there with their own outside chairs. And there are a lot of shady characters hanging around in the parking lot.

Smelled like weed and stale cigarettes. Got to the room and there was garbage laying around the room, toilet seat was up and carpet was disgusting. Immediately backed out, the housekeeper said that's someone's room so i need to get a new one (yes please) Got a new room. Room was cleaner but still stink like cigarettes, shower was unusable and covered in mold, didn't even use it. Toilet had someone's remnants of shaving in there. GROSS.

Now I know this may seem like a terrible review but in all honesty, I paid a little over a $100 for my room with a hot tub. Fair price!! The property is falling apart and from the looks of maintenance there’s no preventative maintenance. It’s a convenient location, close to restaurants and shopping plaza’s. The check in attendant had a real sarcastic demeanor. Overall if you’re looking for somewhere cheap & convenient this would be a great fit. Oh by the way, no continental breakfast whatsoever!!

Travelodge by Wyndham Gross with Crap Service

I booked a room with 2 queen beds for an overnight for 4 adults and 1 child. I received a confirmation from Hotels.com AND the hotel confirming a room with 2 queen beds. When we arrived, the room was suddenly a “suite,” with 1 king bed and a pullout couch. Upon checking our room, the pullout couch was not made up. We pulled it out AND THE MATTRESS WAS FILTHY. Also, bedside lamp covered in dust and rust. So we asked for the room that was originally confirmed, with 2 queen beds. At that point I was told I had booked a room with a king (I still have the confirmation from Hotels.com AND the Travelodge, which show 2 queens) and all the crappy place could do was move us to another room. So we checked the other room. When we walked in, an employee was LAYING on the couch. Pulled that couch out, still not good, but we felt there was little we could do. Couch still not made up AND not enough towels for 4 adults, so on the way out to enjoy Milwaukee, we asked for bedding and towels. At least we got those-dumped on the table in the room. Couch NEVER made up, even though we were 4 adults who had asked for 2 beds. Towels also dumped on table, not put in bathroom. And, for the record, pullout couch was crap. Travelodge and Wyndham bait and switch-DO NOT TRUST THEM, DO NOT BOOK THEM.

When we walked in three staff members were sitting in the lounge. We waited 5 minutes before someone told us the receptionist would be with us soon. The WHOLE place smelled liked weed. I woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air, because of cigarette smoke. There was hair stuck in our towels. The TV didn’t work at first. We had to try several input options. The walls had holes all over the place. There was hair in the shower and the drain was clogged. The sheets and bedding were clean and that was the most important.

I have never experienced this with an hotel backed by Wyndham before.
