Overall the property was adequate for my needs,some deep cleaning and a little paint and general repairs would go a long way.Just wondering if it’s common practice now at Wyndham hotels to not make the beds and tidy rooms daily?

No frills decent place but…

We stayed at this hotel for the state fair showing animals and came back ready for a shower all 3 nights. However, our room was never cleaned and never had towels. We went down and asked for new towels and asked why our room wasn’t cleaned and was told they didn’t have anymore towels at the moment. It’s no frills but a decent place to stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Please know this is motel style lodging. There is no elevator to the second level. The room is adequate for sleeping. The bathroom tub and surround were painted and the paint was peeling. The free breakfast was meager, had to ask for coffee cups, pastry was very stale. No one cleaned the room and we had to turn in the dirty towels to housekeeping to get fresh ones. The Comfort Inn is next door and they have an indoor pool. The Days Inn is in a great location for the Expo Center and the stadium. Unfortunately there is road construction right in front of the driveway. There is a McDonald's nextdoor for a quick hot breakfast. There are no lounges or gathering spaces.

When we checked in they were going to give us a second floor room but we were not able to walk up the stairs. The cimment heard was the better rooms were upstairs. The room smelled musty. The water fixtures were loose. Tge bathroom floor had moisture and the bathtub was slippery. We cut our visit ahort by 2 days due to conditions.

Sketchy

We decided to go cheaper and will not do that again. This property was a little sketchy. Staff was friendly. I want to make sure they know that. But the tub was not clean and had a little water in it. When we checked out the next morning they wouldn’t let us in the lobby due to a man being threatening to the owner and another threatening man in the parking lot. They took our key and sent us on our way. Interesting to say the least.
