The staff was very nice. That's the good. The 1st room they gave me room 409, was 81 degrees when I walked in. The air did not work. They moved me to another room. There were no ice machines on the floor. I had to go all the way to the front desk to get ice. They put another customer in room 409. He had to change rooms too. The pool was under construction. My room faced a side street. Cars were rev in engines and screeching tires. Saturday morning the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. The amount I paid per night was too high for what I got.

Do not stay at this Wyndham

I was very unhappy and unimpressed with this Wyndham. We tried to meet with the manager for a discount 3 different times. Once was when we checked in. He was nowhere to be found. His front desk people were calling him and could not find him. We went back the next morning. Again, the manager was nowhere to be found. We tried before leaving for the afternoon and again, no one could locate the manager. When he got back late evening, a manager was available. We did not receive the discount. We asked for help with our bags and no one could help us. They provided an office cart (not a luggage cart) for me to navigate and fill and take to my room. The elevators were out and we have to use the service elevators. We trapsed through the offices and heard an employee yelling at their manager on the first night. It was also very warm in the lobby, the offices and the service area. Our room a/c wasn't working properly & the engineer was unavailable for our entire stay to fix ours (and other customers). The room was clean. Most of the staff were helpful and courteous. One staff entered the lobby cussing & upset and yelling. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It looked unkempt throughout and run down. It is not a Wyndham standard, especially for the price. We spoke to other customers and they were very unhappy and were going to make calls to complain once they were home. For a $300/night hotel stay, this was not up to par at all. If I could have left, I would have.

The hotel was very old … The elevators were not working none of them. My toilet wasn’t working. None of the ice machines were working on none of the floors we had to take the service elevator upstairs. I was on the fifth floor, and my mother was on the sixth floor by the ice machine on the sixth floor, they had an army of ants crawling all over the place. I was very dissatisfied and displeased. They said we would get free breakfast and they charge for the breakfast. I would never come back to this place ever again and I would really want a full refund because we only stayed one night but it was not good at all. I went there because my son was graduating from college. This was a very terrible experience for me my daughters and my mother.

The receptionist was rude. Was in town to attend my son’s graduation, and requested a late checkout, after paying extra for this during room reservation online. She did not want to listen to my request, said the property was under new management and the website was not integrated with the new owners.

Expedia should have a flag when a property is undergoing renovations. Pretty sure the place was completely empty on a Tuesday. A/c had a note that it wasn’t available but instructions to use the fan. Didn’t receive any paperwork at check in and out confirming pricing which felt odd. 5$ parking fee that I wasn’t told about until checkout when I asked for a receipt so I found this out by mistake. Comfortable king bed. Shower was just warm enough. Good location. Good price.

Upon checking in . The staff failed to mention the ac unit in the building and all the rooms were not working. Yesterday was 80 degrees and it felt like 90 in the room. I had to call the front staff 3 times about it and nothing. Was told the last time to open a window which the maintenance can to the room hours later to unbolt the window so that I can get a little air. If I knew the situation I would have never stayed
