When we arrived, I had already checked in online - I was told I needed to give my CC again, so I did. Never asked if it was something special (there for a birthday) wasn't asked if we wanted to upgrade the room - every time I left the person at the desk was on their phone - one time I walked up to the desk I even had to say excuse me because the desk person (a gentleman) was so engrossed in his phone he didn't even notice I was there - the pool had to have a separate key card, they didn't provide towels at the pool, you had to bring your own, the phone in my room was broken so I couldn't call room service even if I wanted to. The Breakfast was on time, and they left it up for a few minutes past 9, which was nice for those who were on their way out, they could grab something. I had interacted with the cleaning staff on my floor, and they were very, very nice to give me fresh towels (I had the do-not-disturb sign on my door, but they were cleaning, and I asked quickly; they were very, very friendly).

The property was in poor shape. Public areas were dirty. The room smelled horribly, the floors were sticky, and the bathroom was full of mold. We were unable to get a refund because we were outside the 15 minute check-in window because we had to wait in line to check out because there was only one person working.

Prolly pick a different hotel next time

We came to town for a concert, when we were about to leave for the concert we noticed our door was able to be opened just by pushing it. And our pillow cases still had someone's lipstick on it 😭 The girl at the desk was SUPER sweet. But for $100 a night I'll most likely find a different hotel next time.

Bad weekend

When I first got there, the toilet wouldn’t flush the pool was closed, which is understandable really wasn’t an arcade One of the service people at the counter ignored me because there was no phone in the room so if anything happened, good thing nothing happen and One of the cleaning people walked in the bathroom on my Niece after I told her somebody was in there.

Not a pleasant place to stay

Poor place to stay. It was an old Howard Johnson's, then a Days Inn and now Indian family owned with Baymont bathroom mirror, counter and curved shower curtain. The pool & hot tub was shutdown by inspector due to cleanliness/chemical balance issue. Not properly maintained. Room had an inoperable HVAC unit. Maintenance technician is the youngest family member; no training at all and not fixed. Mattress very stained underneath the sheets. The building and balconies are run down, damaged porcelin in the bathtub and poor paint jobs. On a positive note, sheets were clean and pillows comfortable.

Hotel needs a huge update!

The bathtub was horrible. Old and broken with no hot water and the shower curtain went halfway so soaked the floor. This causes water to seep through the floor board seals and smelled like mildew! The bed was confortable but holes and stains on the comforter. The bed was really high off the ground and could not see the tv all the way if laying in the bed. No ice machine on our floor so had to go to another. Pool closed and waa told its always closed. The game room is discusting. Pool table looks like its never been cleaned and games had broken buttons. Breakfast was cereal and bagels even though there were signs for the hot food. Check in and check out was easy. The room was very quiet and we were not distriburbed which was a plus. No bed bugs or major cleanliness issues.

This hotel is two hotels joined into one: days inn and Baymont. Besides to two large billboard signs out front, the building itself is not marked, which is extremely confusing. I went to the wrong hotel and walked in only to ask where the Baymont was. The lady behind the counter was extremely nice. The man working was odd. The pool is on the fifth floor in what looks like to be an old party room. You need a separate key to get in: not your room key. The walls are clearly covered in mold, you can smell it when you enter. It’s painted over. The bathroom there was extremely disgusting. I didn’t even close the stall door. The room itself was okay, though it also smelled a bit musty. It’s an older hotel and you can clearly see the layers of paint on the walls. The shower lacked good water pressure. Due to the limited availability for hotels, we made the best of it. It’s hard to beat $70 a night. This hotel has been put on our list of places NOT to stay.

Beware

Never staying there again. The place is not clean. Walls had dirty marks on them. Curtains had mold or dirt on them. Tile in bathroom had mold, they were cracked, dirty, we wouldn’t even take a bath there. Two women staying there and they only gave you 2 towels. If we would have showered, we require a towel for the body and one for the hair. That means we need 4 towels not 2. Don’t be stingy. We had a 2 queen bed. The pillows were so thin, you had to put all three pillows that they gave you for one bed together to make one small pillow that still sucked. The bed was hard as a rock and they only gave you one blanket. This was the worst room I have ever been in. I called on Saturday to make sure it had a working pool so we could go swimming, when we got there we were told the pool was out of order I was so mad. If we would have had time we would’ve gone somewhere else. The parking lot has broken glass and used condoms laying around. It was hard to find the place because the hotel name isn’t even right name. It doesn’t say Baymount
