Liked: Staff & service
The carpet needs replaced since it looked like they moved furniture and left a 6 inch hole/run in the carpet. The air was damp and it wasn’t humid outside either. After hanging up my clothes and going out for the evening, we came back to our clothes feeling cold and damp. The free “breakfast” was a joke. The eggs and sausage links were microwaved, the fresh fruit consisted of 4 apples and 3 Cutie oranges. The best thing I can say is the orange juice was wonderful. The very best thing of the hotel was the bed. The mattress would have been strapped to the hood of my car if I could have gotten it out the window LOL

Budget Friendly For A Reason
The hotel had no elevator, the rooms smelled musty, but were surprisingly pretty clean. The beds were just okay. The hotel itself was dated and worn. Decent location with plenty of didning options.

Would NOT recommend
Absolutely horrible hotel. Second floor smelled awful. First room had a scent of body odor. Broken toilet seat. Front desk moved us to next door. Broken tiles in bathroom. Never saw a person standing at the front desk. Only way to get service was to ring the doorbell. Hallways were dimly lit and felt unsafe. Pool was only big enough for 1 family of 4.

Decent place, very convenient to most anything you could want or need. Friendly staff, breakfast was ok. Not a fan of Wyndhams $50 incidental hold charge, they take too long to refund it in my opinion.

The first room we got had a mold and moisture problem. The clerk did get us another room which was better, but for $175 per night I had higher expectations. Would not stay there again.
