We've had good luck with these hotels in the past. This hotel was lacking a bit. The hot water was just luke warm, the breakfast wasn't that great, there were a couple of bugs in the bathroom and there was only one table lamp. The room was dark.

Thanks for everything !
It was safe and clean.
My only complain was the A/C it was so laugh that we have to turn off to be able to rest quietly, honestly was disturbing.
The front desk guy say that the A/C need it maintenance...
Anything else clean, safe and close to the place we were going!

I paid for the room in advance and then when we got there they wanted an additional $50 security deposit. Claiming they charge all customers this but especially since when paid in advance they do not have access to credit card if there are any damages. That is a load of garbage if you just ask for the card to remain on file they can charge it after it need be.

It seems that some renovations may be going on. In our room, the plug in the bathtub wouldn't stay open and we showered in standing water. Instead of a new bathtub they chose to reglaze it, and that was peeling off. The bottle of bath soap was empty. The breakfast was ok. I was surprised at the hard boiled eggs instead of scrambled. Guess it's easier that way.

The place really needs to be updated or sold to someone else. The room was clean, but it was missing furniture. We had to take the lamp from the living room back into the bedroom because it was stolen frm the bedroom to put in the living room. That left zero lights in the living room, and end tables were missing. Vending machines were broken and empty. It smelled old.
It was only one night, thank Jesus. For 135 bucks its a thumbs down for sure.

The hotel was undergoing renovations, of which we had not been informed. Our room had a single desk lamp...no overhead lights, no bedside lamps. I was using a penlight to read. The walls were completely bare. The shower had the lowest water pressure I've ever seen; the tub was sloped; the drain wasn't even fixed into the tub; and most of the bath towels had a strong chemical odor to them. There was one small trashcan in the bathroom and that was it. They had Fox News on in the lobby during breakfast hours on Saturday. They charge $5 for WiFi, unless you're a Rewards member...I've never heard of a hotel doing that. If we had been given some kind of discount for the inconvenience, it might have helped. As it is, the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of one is because most of the staff were very friendly.

Not what was expected. And my expectations were not high. Remodeled room still had holes in the wall and bandaid painting with no ceiling fixed just painted over cracks. Waffles for breakfast were supposed to be the greatest. NO. Dough seemed overmixed and chewy. Very nice overworked staff. Poor night girl was working all by herself with very needy guests and no assistance. Spend the xtra $100 for the next level hotel. Okay to use this one if bookings are full. It is clean and bed was king size and comfortable. Just don’t expect a super nice remodeled hotel as they did the cheap budget job on minimal refresh for upgrades in my opinion.

The front desk attendant was very friendly and welcoming. The room smelled nice and clean when we walked in the door. But then when we got into the bed we noticed a huge brown stain on the sheets. So that was not pleasant to see. I know the hotel is under remodel at the current moment. So they definitely should work on having clean sheets on the bed with no stains. But other than that it was okay.

The dining room floor was broken up with caution, tape around the dining part where you eat breakfast The elevator was broken, which did not accommodate my disability. The hotel smelled like mold. The floors were filthy. The carpet was shredded, which caused tripping. They did not have pillows for the room. They substituted a blanket for a pillow. When we arrived, the person on duty was on their laptop playing a game with someone and seems irritated that they had to get up and wait on us to check us in. We checked out after the first night stay even though we had an extended stay. The place was horrible. We would never recommend it to anyone.

The second room still only had one lamp. This time at the desk, not bedside And again only one trashcan!! But the tub at least was not leaking. The microwave/refrig seemed to work properly

Breakfast was a little more that continental: hot boiled eggs, sausage, waffles, bagels, bread, toast, yogurt, and juices ans coffee. The 55\" LG TV in the room was nice.

According to Wyndham rules you have to be physically at the property to not lose 1 day stay. I arrive around 2:00 AM they made me pay 115 again for the same night. I decided not to stay there asked them to cancel my second payment and stayed at another hotel.

This is the filthiest hotel interior I have ever seen. I cannot believe Expedia sold me this room. I need a refund. Dirty stained carpets throughout -- hallways, lobby restaurant, and inside the room. One elevator didn't work. Parking was easy and available. Service was ok even tho I got mad cuz they KNEW what I was heading up to.
The room smelled because of the years of filth held in the carpet. Had to use menthol rub under my nostrils to tolerate the smell enough to sleep. Linens appeared clean but there were stray hairs in both sheets and towels. Got in late at night so had no choice but to stay the night before my niece's graduation. I should have slept in the rental car. The last straw was a little ROACH that ran past my feet in the bathroom while using the toilet out of desperation.
Utterly horrible. Do not buy. I hope an inspector reads this.
