Price wasn’t unreasonable Ram the Clerk on Friday check in it appeared as though he wasn’t interested in position. Asked for a quiet room towards the Back of hotel. It appears as though he was filling the room in the back first. Long day of travel. Other guests coming in and out the room doors are heavy and they slam shut. Not good at 3 am! Breakfast or whatever it was called coffee and cereal in a small room of the hotel. Probably most definitely will not recommend

The room was not clean, bottle caps on the nightstand, pieces of food debris on the carpet, the furniture was stained and uninviting. Carpet, bedding and towels were very dated and in need of replacement. I thought being a Wyndham property that it would be fine but not even close. I was in the back of the hotel and there was an entire wing of rooms abandon and scary looking. It felt unsafe. Needless to say I didn't get any rest.

It was a decent room, fairly clean. I wasn't expecting a 4 star experience from a budget hotel. There were a few things that could have been better though. The breakfast was nice, but to say that options were limited would be an understatement. The only real negative was average at best water pressure and temperature. The room was clean, but it looked like it could use a thorough deep clean. Furniture was well used but still functional.
