Mold and Mildew. Filthy room. The place stunk and my daughter and I woke up with sinus issues. I went and purchased bleach at 10:30 pm, and over 10 miles away, to pour on the black mold in the bathtub and when that did not help I pulled the filters out of the AC unit and they were caked in dirt and dust. I booked for 2 nights, stayed for the 1 night and they are refusing to refund me.

Worst Hotel I have Stayed At!

The first thing I noticed was the "Park at Your Own Risk" sign in the parking lot, not a great start. When reading the previous reviews people mentioned that the hotel needed updating but...OMG that was an understatement! The door in the parking lot that leads into the building was broken so it did not lock, anyone off the street could walk in. Entering the hallway there was an atrocious smell, can't even describe it, thank God it at least didn't travel into the actual room. The room itself was dingy, dirty, carpet was disgusting, paint peeling, walls dirty and all scratched up. In the bathroom there was a clear trash bag in the trash bin where you can see some kind of red stain that dripped down inside, I do not even want to know what that was. The shower drain was rusted and the floor around the edges had black build up. The only thing that made our stay ok for the ONE night was that the bed and sheets were clean and comfortable. If it wasn't too late and if we were staying longer than one night we would have left! I do not recommend!!

The entire hotel was very dirty & is falling apart. My curtains were completely ripped in multiple places with yellow stains on them. My smoke detector was ripped out of the ceiling & just wires were left. I went to turn on the desk light & sparks flew across the room causing the circuit breaker to knock out the power throughout our room. The rugs were so dirty & covered with stains that our socks were covered in dirt. The pool had a white foam floating on the water. The halls smelled gross. Overall I think this hotel needs to be completely remodeled. I have nothing good to say about it.

Get what you pay for - stay away

Location wise - it was perfect. That was about it for positives. Exterior is dirty and unmaintained. Hallways reel of bod or odor and musk. Wallpaper peeling, no stoppers in sinks or bathtub, sink didn’t fully drain, tub leaked from underneath, all the appliances were plugged into a surge protected which was hanging from the side of the mini fridge, shelving hung crooked, hair in the bed sheets, the doors were so disgusting, with the locks appearing to have been busted open. The curtains on the glass door were not only shredded, but huge yellow stains all over it. I honestly couldn’t believe they allow hotels like this to stay in business.

Thought being a Wyndham property it'd live up to the name. Must be newly acquired. Rooms were ok, doors looked like they've been there for a long time. Balcony doors didn’t seem like they locked securely. Being right off the highway and staying by myself with my young daughter made me a bit nervous. No breakfast. I didn't have any issues but i was definitely on high alert the whole stay. Desk staff was very friendly. Discount at the diner for staying was appreciated.

Property was not clean and cards and tv didn’t work. We stayed 2 nights and every time we went out the cards never worked and we had to go to the front desk and get another one. Also the Tv didn’t work and just an overall poor establishment.

do not stay!!

don’t let the pictures fool you… this place is sketchy and disgusting. stained mattress, ripped shower curtain, holes in the walls, filth. no security, essentially anybody could walk in. genuinely worried for my safety the whole night. lady at the check in was making jokes that i looked too young to stay, which make me really uncomfortable. would never recommend this place to anybody. the cheap price is not worth it at all.
