The TV did not work, the shower did not work, the internet too slow to be useful at all, the sheets were ratty and the walls dirty. The only good part was the staff. Everyone I met who worked there was VERY nice, helpful and personable.

Health Hazard!

My experience at Wyndham Durham Super 8 motel was honest to God the worse experience I ever had traveling in my life! That building all jokes aside needs to be condemned at the very least! The amount of roaches were beyond counting that I left all the lights on throughout the night! Wyndham should be ashamed to have their name associated with this motel. The same should go with Hotels.com You should not have this motel as a option! It is not a good look for your organization. Everything I read on the reviews were totally true! Filthy and disturbing! I wish I had checked the reviews before picking this health hazard of motel.
