We have stayed here a few times. The location in convenient. It is no frills, basic hotel. It has a refrigerator and the beds were comfortable. It was quiet and plenty of parking. The staff was friendly and check in and out was fast. There was a continintal breakfast of waffles, fruit , and cerial. Nothing fancy. Overall, decent hotel for an overnight stay for the price. I would stay there again.

I pulled into the parking lot, saw people going through the garbage and getting in an elevator with it. Entire place was terrifying - I didn't even check in. I took the loss on the cost and drove home.

The second room we got switched to wreaked of smoke and the AC didn’t work well, so we got moved back to the first room with the mold and shower/tv all messed up. Not a good stay at all

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was filthy, the room was filthy, the key did not work, people were smoking all around the property, two different kinds of chairs at the table in the room, ironing board was bent, and iron had burnt spots on it that I had to get rid of before I ironed my shirts. Check in was slow and took forever, and the little package pastries were half frozen for breakfast. It’s clear that this franchisee does not care about the Wyndham property that they manage. Very disappointing experience.

The hotel looks very ugly from the outside nothing like the pictures on the web. The furniture looks also differently from pictures on web. The room needs to be cleaned better. Breakfast is only bread and coffee. The area does not look safe for Families.

Do not waste your money

I had to wait a while to ck in because system was down. Carpet in room was filthy. Shower had no pressure and the pillows were lumpy. Bk of door was filthy. There was coffee in room, but no coffee maker nor iron and ironing board. Breakfast was horrible. Packaged tools, bread and pancakes. Two inks of cereal with warm milk. Not worth the 200+ charge for the night. AC didn’t throw out cold air.
