Words cannot describe how much I wish I spent the $30 extra to stay at a slightly nicer place and not this horror house. I was moving across country by myself with my dog, and we booked this place just to have a place to crash for the night during the drive. I arrived to a run down, empty parking lot a little before check in time at around 2:30pm or so, and went I went inside there was absolutely no one to be found. I dialed the number for assistance, and eventually got someone was told very rudely on the phone that it was not check in time yet, and I had to wait. So I did. Upon check in, the staff was very rude about me having my dog and the room itself was actually from the year 1930. There were stains on the comforters, the TV didn’t work, and I had ONE medium sized towel. Also, God forbid you leave your key in the room. When I did this and went to get a new one, I was told “why do people always do this, it’s actually so annoying” 0/10 would not recommend staying here to my worst enemy.

The hotel manager of this establishment is a complete joke. While trying to get explanations to any question he rudely interrupts you and asks if you're done as if he didnt listen to anything you were saying. I will NEVER think about comong here again. I didnt even keep my room and requested a refund due to his selfish behavior. Im disgusted to think that this is what Wyndham see as "acceptable" behavior.

I realize weekend rates are higher but what I paid for this one night stay the property should have been nicer. The comforter had holes in it. While I could tell the towels had been washed I was given two and one had a stain. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were old and lumpy. I checked out on a Sunday at a little after nine and breakfast was already put away. The shower looked dirty and needed repairs. It did not drain properly. The front desk worker was really nice and he did a great job upon check in.

The man checking me in was very nice. The motel was very dated. The towels were very poor quality. No cups or tissues in the room. The worse thing was the blanket on the bed, it was greasy feeling and had holes in it. I only touched it by the edge when I wrapped the bed spread around it. The sheets were clean. I didn’t have an option of leaving because there were no other hotel rooms available in the area and it was after 6 when I checked in and I was in town for a conference. What a disappointment.

From the start the property was bad. We were given the 3rd floor with no elevator. I had a toddler, coolers and luggage. I asked for a ground level room and at first he said he had none and then said I could get one for anothe $40. The cleaner was still cleaning when we got to the room and it wasnt cleaned right. The refrigerate wasnt plugged in and once it was it banged all night and leaked water. The refrigerator was full of rust. There was reallt no breakfast selection. Toast, cereal and sausage. The waffle maker didnt work. I asked about breakfast Nd was told that all they had. I checked out a day early. I stay in a hotel about twice a week and this worst i have ever stayed at!
