We had a very short stay, but were really impressed with the friendliness of the staff. It's obvious they take great pride in this property and they're level of service and it shows! We will certainly make it a point to visit again when in the area!

There were stains on the walls, lamp shade, bathroom ceiling (mold), and the room was humid. The table was unstable and the lamp on it would shake.
Filthy floors, very uncomfortable bed. We booked for 7 nights, on night 4 my wife had a severe gallbladder attack so we checked out the next morning. They have refused to refund our money for the other 3 nights. We have come to expect this kind of treatment from a Wyndham property. They’ve treated us badly before.

Our room was very close to the road so we had a lot of vehicle noise
Bars and entertainment are great.
Being on 2nd floor after a hip replacement wasn’t great, no elevator.

Pool and hot tub were closed most of our stay. Our room was dirty. The floors made our feet black . Pretty gross . Booked a suit and got this room with two beds and a pull out couch. Asked for sheets and blanket and didn’t get them. Paid extra to check in two hours early for our room to not even be ready. Checked in less than an hour early and still got charged the whole fee . The beds are super uncomfortable and springy. Won’t stay there again.
Unfortunately, we did not have a favorable experience… no linens on the pull out bed, floors dirty, bathroom door broken and would not close properly and next morning all three guests broke out with bites on exposed skin. For the price, I really expected better.
