Good

Very nice interior common areas, looks like a very nice pool. Room had a nice desk area to charge devices. Had a couch too. Bathroom could use update, but was OK. Exterior of building has some damage, off putting until I came in and saw the nice condition. Not many guests, maybe because it was a Monday?
I think they are trying to remodel and upgrade but there seems to be a long way to go. We booked 3 queen rooms, but we were in rooms with full size beds. One of the beds wasn't on the frame as it should have been, causing a corner to tip. We picked up everything and fixed the frame so we could sleep. Mismatched furniture. Tape on a cracked window, gaps around the doors, ceiling tiles falling from leaks from the floor above. One room didn't have comforters, just the sheets. Bathrooms were TINY. One didn't have any tissues. Wi-fi didn't work. The continental breakfast needs some upgraded appliances too. Toasters without knobs, broken juice machine, broken coffee maker in the lobby. If you consider hotels to be a home away from home, this is not yet the place you want to be.
They double booked us, then called 3 hours before checkin to let is know we would not get our suite. We ended up getting two small rooms with one double bed per room. The rooms, couchs and bathrooms were dirty. No discount on the rooms, no concession for the inconvenience.
Check in was kind of chaotic. It took an hour, and I was given two sets of room keys for rooms that weren’t cleaned yet.

This was adequate for a one night stay on the way to other places. We stayed at a nicer hotel on the way back.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the property itself was very run down with holes in the walls, the courtyard was littered and uncared for. The hair dryer in our room was broken. The shower flooded the floor even though the curtain was in the tub. The staff were friendly and helpful even though the main desk gal was apparently sleeping in the back. This facility was not up to Wyndham standards and I would not return.
I reserved a “two bedroom” but it was only a 1 bed room suite with a pull out couch. The mattress on the couch looked original it was disgusting. We only had 1 hand towel, 4 towels for 4 people and two bathrooms. No screens on the windows so we could not open to let musty air out. Free breakfast was a joke.
Due to pictures on the booking site we were under the impression they're was a hot tub, there was not, it has been filled in. The sums was out of order. The choice machine was out of order. Almost out of juice for breakfast. No peanut butter for breakfast. 1 English muffin, a few pieces of toast. A couple bowls of each kind of cereal. 3 pop tarts. 2 sausage patties. Very limited supply of any food and this was early in breakfast time, not towards the end.
We also had several spider webs in between the AC unit and the walls in our room.
Mixed feelings on our stay. First and foremost, our room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The building itself is super old and run down. Broken windows, paint chipping, huge potholes in the parking lot. We reserved 2 double needs, but were put in a king. 2 guest had 2 towels, 1 washcloth and a dirty hand towel to share. The TV didn’t work. It’s a clean place to hang your head for 1 night but probably only that.
The lobby is lovely. The rooms are out dated. Needs a face lift. On site restaurant advertised is really only a breakfast room and on free breakfast is served
No ice makers were working. Asked for one more bath towel and they had none and gave us 4 washcloths. Breakfast was mostly frozen items you had to microwave. Beds were comfortable. Quiet environment. Staff were fine.
I booked a Queen size room and received a double (not a big deal). Although the room was very clean, the pipes made a very loud squealing sound every time water ran and about once every +30 minutes if nothing was used.
The building itself was in reasonably good condition especially the tile floors but age was evident especially around the exterior doors and breakfast area.
The breakfast was fair at best. It primarily consisted of a few old apples, waffles, some microwaveable sandwiches, possibly milk (and apple juice?), bread and horribly weak coffee. The orange juice machine was out of order and the entry to the kitchen(?) had loose piece of wood or cardboard blocking it.
Overall, I can't say I was impressed but the price was reasonable, we arrived very late, and left fairly early.
