Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The pictures have to be old. The first room was dirty had no toilet paper. They moved us second room had no fridge just empty space lamp sitting on floor. I understand it looks like there are some renovations and the hotel is older but you should be able to keep the front and ten rooms in good working condition while you do so and unclean rooms there is never an excuse! Also I had to call for the front desk from the front desk which was hard to do when I forgot my phone in first room and the phone in second room didn’t work!! Just overall bad experience! Oh and no hot tub even though it says there is one and the pool was not open so ya I would work on the hot mess of a hotel you have because you won’t get any business if you keep running it like this, and for Wyndham to have its name on it too very surprised!
