Worst hotel stay

Room was awful. When we first got there a piece of the ceiling fell on my wife's head. We complained to the front desk and while they did move us to a different room, there seemed to be no apology or remorsefullness in the staff. The overall stay was awful. Most things were broken or didn't work well. The staff was rude and unapologetic. Would never stay there again.

This hotel was very out dated. Horrible customer service. I had to ask for towels over and over and never received them. Her response was they don’t have enough staff. It was molded. Construction was going on in the middle of the hallways, The Pool area was dirty. I had to ask them to clean it. It’s felt like something out of American horror story!! Staff was not helpful at all. This place needs to be shut down immediately.

From the moment you arrive you see the deterioration of the place, nothing to do with the photos with which they announce it. Everything around is dirty inside and out. It doesn't have air conditioning in the common areas and they stink. The rooms are not very clean either, in a whole week no one got to clean the room and much less to change sheets and towels. The corridors with garbage and bad smells. Most of the employees with a very bad attitude. The breakfast was very poor and poorly cooked, plus at 7:45am there was not even coffee left. As soon as I arrived and saw everything I wanted to cancel even if they charged me for the first night but they told me that if I canceled I had to pay for the 6 nights I had booked so I chose to stay, but it was totally unpleasant.

They are in the process of renovating old, neglected property. Our room was clean. However, the breakfast was skimpy to nonexistent, the TV had no cable service to it, and the pools (inside and outside) were out of service. I would not recommend staying here until the renovations are completed. The staff is very nice though and apologetic of the conditions.

Don't Do It!

The hotel is aged and is in need of a major renovation. The housekeeping is not impressive. A dirty hairy towel was left in the bathroom hanging on shower curtain rack. The shower curtain and bedspread had stains. The staff was ver nice. The hotel itself needs a major overhaul. I can't believe that this is a Wyndham Hotel. Wyndham dropped the ball on this hotel.

The only good thing i have to say about the property was that the lady who initially checked me in and helped me switch rooms was very polite and helpful. The rest was a nightmare. Stephen king could easily find inspiration from even just one night here. Dead bugs everywhere. No AC on the hottest day of the year. Broken furniture and appliances are scattered throughout the property. My first room smelled like stale cigarettes and had no working fridge. The second room, a king suit, had burns in the curtains, no ac, the fridge was in the middle of the room leaving a huge ugly empty spot near the wall where it was meant to go. I had to fix the TV, there was a huge birds nest obstructing the window, the faucet was installed incorrectly in the shower, and where the floor met the ceiling and in the corners of the room there is clear space that shouldnt be there. I would request a full refund at this time and warn anyone against going here for a night. Several gunshots overnight, woke up saturday to beer cans and trash scattered all over the front of the property. Hallway upstairs smelled like weed also. And all staff other than the one woman i mentioned were unattentive and rude. We basically had to beg for toilet paper and extra towels, which where handed over with a very sarcastic attitude. There's more and I have photos. The city should shut this place down. The phone didnt even work.
Burns holes in curtains, the entire place was incredibly dirty also. Dust everywhere. On every surface.

The place was dirty, bags of garbage in the hallways that had not been picked up in 2+ days. The room smelled like mold and there were pieces of mold being blown from the AC unit. The shower didn’t look like it had been cleaned, so I ended up buying my own cleaning supplies to clean the room. Things were so bad, I ended up checking out a day early. Don’t let the pics fool you; this place is a dump, seriously.

Room was dirty, grounds littered with trash --beer cans, had one coffee pod- decaf at that, and one cup for my stay. Hallway cunningly decorated with a toilet plunger which remained in place as long as I was there. The receptionist was great though.

Not as pictured

Property is under construction and the pictures posted was not what it looks like in person! The grounds haven’t been kept up the patio by the pond was what I was looking forward to and it’s not at all what the pictures showed. Some windows broken. Mattresses outside laying by the side entrance. It’s okay for quick shower and nap.

Just do not go there. Massive facility issues including a/c not working, room keys also didnt work. Not enough staff/cheap prices = chaos. We stayed an hour before leaving. When attempting to get a refund an impromptu fist fight broke out in the lobby. Just dont go. The whole area is sketchy....
