Roaches everywhere. The first room I was given the door would not open it was so damaged and thin I thought I was going to go right thru it when trying to open it. The next room we were given had a wounderful view of the swamp that is growing in the pool. I would have left but it was already late at night and needed somewhere to stay and they would not give me my money back.
You get what you pay for but Sam at the front desk was great. I was originally put in one room and when we got there there were multiple mattresses stacked on one of the beds. Went to the front and got another room. Stayed one night and was asked to move to another room because they were doing renovations. We moved without issue but it was definitely an inconvenience. The pool was not cleaned and out of order. Grass was long and it was kind of ghetto. Couples fighting upstairs and obvious drug deals happening. Not a lot of food places open past 8:40pm. However, it is priced to suit the property so I’ll say it gave what it was worth. Again, Sam was super nice and made me coffee in before we left because breakfast was not available. Also, cell service is horrible here.
Check-in and out was quick and painless. However, the rest of our experience was poor. The exterior of the building was poorly maintained with spots of mold/moss growing on the walkways. The room was abnormally moist and sticky, which was perpetuated by the lack of a fan in the bathroom. The lights barely worked, outlets would not hold plugs and the blowdryer did not work. The internet was limited to nonexistent unless you were in the lobby. The "continental breakfast" consisted of cereal and bread for toast, coffee and juices. Our son was excited for the pool, but we did not go for a swim due to the risk of getting ecoli from the completely green water. Would not recommend and will not be staying again.
The receptionist claimed they were overbooked but in fact they weren’t, half of the hotel was empty if not more. He just didn’t want to give me the room I asked for..
Pool was green but advertised as available .
rooms were dirty , mind you I had to go through 4 rooms to finally get a semi decent one. The first one was somebody’s like home , the second one was extremely dirty , 3rd one the ac didn’t work .
They wouldn’t give me more than 2 towels and I had 2 adults with 4 kids .
They wanted a deposit for BLANKETS …..???
First room assigned to had mold growing around the ceiling of the entire room. The fan in the bathroom had no cover with visible mold growth. Ac didn’t work. Very dirty.
The second room was a slight improvement, but still very dirty and the door lock was broken.
I found in both rooms the linens were disgusting and covered in stains. The AC unit takes forever to cool down a room.
Pool was green-unusable and the breakfast looked as if it would be nonexistent. False advertising all the way around. Poor management.
We left and did not complete our stay. Awful experience.

Nice hotel, staff were kind. The pool was green so we couldn’t partake but overall nice place.
Entire place is falling apart nasty stains everywhere cigarette burn holes in sheets pool is green no landscaping at all grass is overgrown and not once did they come and clean the room at all or even swap out the towels
This facility was a significant disappointment affiliated with the Wyndham name. It was the equivalent of a broke down Motel 6 that hadn't been updated since the 80's. We literally got trapped in our room due to the door sticking in the frame and almost broke it down trying to get out. There were sticky substances on the desk and nightstand, tiny bathroom. We had a second floor room and the balcony/walkway creeked and shifted while walking on it - concerning it may collapse at any time. This place was so bad we didn't even bother to check out, just immediately packed our stuff and left, found another hotel down the road and stayed there. We didn't feel safe staying in this location for even a few hours let alone overnight.
