Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was filthy, the room was filthy, the key did not work, people were smoking all around the property, two different kinds of chairs at the table in the room, ironing board was bent, and iron had burnt spots on it that I had to get rid of before I ironed my shirts. Check in was slow and took forever, and the little package pastries were half frozen for breakfast. It’s clear that this franchisee does not care about the Wyndham property that they manage. Very disappointing experience.

The hotel looks very ugly from the outside nothing like the pictures on the web. The furniture looks also differently from pictures on web. The room needs to be cleaned better. Breakfast is only bread and coffee. The area does not look safe for Families.

Do not waste your money

I had to wait a while to ck in because system was down. Carpet in room was filthy. Shower had no pressure and the pillows were lumpy. Bk of door was filthy. There was coffee in room, but no coffee maker nor iron and ironing board. Breakfast was horrible. Packaged tools, bread and pancakes. Two inks of cereal with warm milk. Not worth the 200+ charge for the night. AC didn’t throw out cold air.

Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and always restocked with clean linens and towels. Plenty of hot water for showers. The room was fairly priced for the area. The one negative is the carpets are heavily stained and need to be replaced. Overall I would stay there again.
