1 star service and amenities

Hotel is semi clean (passable) and safe. THATS ALL! No service, 1 ice machine, Jerry rigged TV, clock doesn’t work. Was told NOT to use the in room coffee she thinks it’s there for “decoration “ had to beg for new towels finally took old towels to them to exchange for new ones. Staff was nice. Let me park the bike under the porte coche’re. This is my analogy so far. But I don’t care it’s safe so far and passably clean. Needs a lot to be desired as far as amenities and services.

Do not recommend. Do not book through Expedia. Booked my stay 3 months in advance and when I arrived the day of my event to check in I was told they cancelled all of the bookings for the weekend with no notice. I received a confirmation the day before my stay began. They claimed that it was because they were OYO and not Wyndham anymore even though I booked with OYO. Then tried to charge twice the price of my weekend stay for one night. Hotel had a terrible smell and did not feel as if the AC worked in the lobby. 0/10 recommend

They do not clean their bedrooms when I arrived at the hotel. I was given a key card to room 100 I walked in and there was pee and stains all over the toilet. I walked all the way to the front desk and she proceeded to hand me key card to number 102 And told me to check 102 when I went to One 02102 room was completely disgusting not clean from the prior stay. I walked all the way back up to the front desk where she proceeded to give me another key card and told me to check 103 Bathroom had mold all over it . I ended up asking for cleaning materials for room number 102 cleaned it myself and went to sleep that night. I will never stay here again. I had to stay here due to an emergency reason only hotel in the vicinity with rooms.

Travelers Beware.

First off, I want to say that the front desk individual was kind and hospitable. Also, the air condition inside my assigned guestroom was functional. That being said, the terrible hotel experience of mine began when I first arrived at the hotel location. The location is remote and gives off a creepy vibe on the outside once the sun sets (outside lighting is unsafe/very poor quality and there isn't much else around the area). Once approaching the front hotel entrance, there was one entrance door with shattered glass and the front entrance door handles clearly have not been sanitized in a while and were in poor condition. Inside the lobby, a heavy mildew aroma permeates the lobby atmosphere. Throughout the first floor hallways, various structural blemishes stood out and various forms of structural damage was clearly visible. The room I was assigned was very unsanitary (hair in the bathroom sink, all bathroom towels were stained to various degrees, bathroom flooring had visibly not been cleaned recently, shower/tub combo had clearly not been cleaned recently, the bathroom sink had various signs of untidiness and was in disrepair, the assigned guestroom had a musky/mildew scent throughout, the bedding blanket and cover sheet was stained in various areas by various colored substances, every surface inside my guestroom had visibly not been sanitized/cleaned in a while, and the guestroom couch was stained in various places. Very disappointed in the hotel experience.

This property does not appear to have housekeeping staff. The room wasn’t made up or cleaned. Promptly checked out and went elsewhere. Now need to get refund from Expedia
