Once was enough.
Girl was irritable and rude when I checked in… zero people skills. Side door had a broken handle that cut me. Tv remote was now functioning well (could not change the cannel). It was a convenient location.
Costumer Service was lovely ! Room clean , smelled good. Once you get there they’ll give you directions for your room. Also many options of restaurants , stores close by
Took 25 minutes to get hot water. The sink took about 30 minutes to drain. The floors was not clean. The bed felt like sleeping on a blowup mattress that lost air. The pillows was extremely thin and gave a neck ache. The towels and had stains and was kid size. Everything was old and dirty. Was not worth the price at all. In need of a upgrade and face lift! Dis not have the Wyndham quality at all.
Everything was good until I tried going to sleep, the AC was very noisy. Also at morning 🌄 the sun was unblockable, the curtains did not shut very well.
This hotel is not bad, but the rugs are very old and musty smelling. I was afraid to walk on them. They put us by an outside door that didn't lock and slammed shut each time so it kept me up through out the night.
Hotel was ok, but it must have had issues in the past? The big security mirror in the elevator did not give me a warm fuzzy. (So you can see someone hiding before you step in)
Room temp was set at 60 deg when i arrived. It was to cover something. The room had a very heavy smell of bleach. The room appeared clean. Very tiny bathroom.
