Michelle, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible, apocalyptic setting.

The outside of the building looks apocalyptic. Weeds overgrown, people obviously high out of their minds wandering around. Industrial fans blowing in a very warm building. The pool was half covered by a tarp. The inside felt like it hadn't been updated in about 20 years. Broken furniture littered the hallways. The room was dirty, the hallways leading to the room was dirty. The aircon didn't work anywhere in the buliding.

6/10 Good

The beds were comfortable. The pool was out of service and so was the elevator. The staff was nice.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel stay

Room was awful. When we first got there a piece of the ceiling fell on my wife's head. We complained to the front desk and while they did move us to a different room, there seemed to be no apology or remorsefullness in the staff. The overall stay was awful. Most things were broken or didn't work well. The staff was rude and unapologetic. Would never stay there again.
Paul, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don't Do It!

The hotel is aged and is in need of a major renovation. The housekeeping is not impressive. A dirty hairy towel was left in the bathroom hanging on shower curtain rack. The shower curtain and bedspread had stains. The staff was ver nice. The hotel itself needs a major overhaul. I can't believe that this is a Wyndham Hotel. Wyndham dropped the ball on this hotel.

Not as pictured

Property is under construction and the pictures posted was not what it looks like in person! The grounds haven’t been kept up the patio by the pond was what I was looking forward to and it’s not at all what the pictures showed. Some windows broken. Mattresses outside laying by the side entrance. It’s okay for quick shower and nap.
Talina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DO NOT STAY HERE

This hotel looks like it was abandoned for a significant amount of time. The pictures you see are not true images of the property. Our room was dusty, and did not feel safe for me or my child. From the outside several windows were broken, overgrowth and trash. I am disappointed that Hotels.com would carry a property like this as an option because it looks inhabitable. To make it worse management has a sign saying request refunds through your booking agency but then deny the refund. I have never seen anything like this type of poorly managed property before.

Very nice place
Aimee, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Had to move rooms because of TV issues and got put in a room that smelled bad and had a bullet hole in the window. Pool was closed and grass was hip high around the property.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place with nice people
Chester, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again!

The hotel is very secluded, and the map is inaccurate... but just keep going down the road. They're "under construction" but it is still very well maintained and there wasn't any noticeable noise.
Rosette, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t do it, go somewhere else.

Please stay somewhere else. The photos they have posted must be from years ago. The pool is not functional nor is the exercise room. They appear to be renovating, very slowly, with the likes of a part time handyman. The common spaces and rooms are barely passably clean. On a positive note, I didn’t see any insects.

10/10 Exceptional

Thanks for the safe accommodation.
Ramana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The motel was for sure out of the at a dead end road. The highway was close by, so was noisy from that. I liked the newer laminate floors, however it is very outdated and needs a major up lift. There was rust every where. My queen bed was broke and leaned side ways making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was good. Parking was good. Staff very friendly.
SUSAN, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Never again

The first room they gave us didnt have a fidge, chair or AC unit. The second room they gave of us, we went to use the pullout bed and it was so disgusting. Then, ad I was walking back from breakfast to my room the cleaning lady asked me TWICE if i wanted to help her clean the rooms (Im hispanic) we have been here a few times (about once a month) and this was by far the worst experience we've had.
Rosette, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was helpful and attentive. But all the furniture was very old and dirty. There was maintenance and repair. The fitness center was very bad. It was very different from how it looked online. We had to leave without staying even one night.

Brandon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff and hot breakfast but no indoor pool, room had old items under the bed and ants on the floor. The rooms need a upgrade but it was safe place. You keep same towels until you check out and you take your own garbage out daily.

8/10 Very good

Only problem was our fridge didnt get very cold, but they did have an ice machine
