The condition of the building is very bad, the rooms are not clean and falling apart. I’m pretty sure my bed just got made and not cleaned. Hair mixed in with the clean towels and on the bathroom counters when we arrived. Breakfast area was not attended to by staff and got trashed very quickly. Generally sketchy. Only redeeming quality was there was a very nice lady working the front desk

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The check in was terrible, the lady at desk was rude and charged me again, even though the room was paid through Expedia. The halls smelled horrible (to be fair the room did not). When we finally found our room, it was extremely dated and there were spiders in the bath tub. The office closes at 11 p.m. and there were people yelling and running in the hall until 2 a.m., but no one to call. The breakfast area was filthy and they had used the bags you put ice in as "liners" for the hot food. The one single thing that was good was the shower head, apparently that was updated. I would never stay here again. I am shocked that the Wyndam name is on this establishment.

Pool's the only nice part

Our bed was clean, but our friend's was not. The breakfast was sparce. The faucet was not attached to the sink, and the chair did not look clean to sit in. Water sprayed from the shower handle and the shower in our friends' room was nothing more than a hose. We enjoyed the pool and our room smelled better than our friends' room. This looked like it was a wonderful place with lots of character under a previous management. There's potential here if they'll just clean and do some basic plumbing!

The pools were nice but crowded. There was mold in the bathroom over the shower. The parking lot had food wrappers, dirty diaper. It was a pet friendly hotel. We took our pet. There was really nowhere to walk her because there was glass in the grass area.

Decent Price

Rooms were a good size, staff was friendly, never had any personal issues. My issue was that we celebrated my birthday here (July 14) and I wanted to lay out by the pool and swim but they shut both pools down at the same time. Didn’t let us swim at all. Why shut down both if you have 2 and offer pools? We also had to sleep with the tv on every night because the outside noise was insanely loud throughout the night, and then on check out day, they sent me an automated text asking me when I was going to check out, so I selected 11am, then 30 mins later at 9am the staff comes by knocking on my door that had a do not disturb sign on it asking me when I was checking out. That was very irritating. But all in all, other than those things, it was a decent stay for the price and did have very friendly staff.
