The TV did not work, the shower did not work, the internet too slow to be useful at all, the sheets were ratty and the walls dirty.
The only good part was the staff. Everyone I met who worked there was VERY nice, helpful and personable.

Gives new meaning to the term Roach Motel
Its hard to believe that Wyndham associates their name to this property. Better off at a motel 6!

I was disappointed because this is a Wyndham property. The property needs a full renovation. There was a hole in the bathtub. Ants and roaches in the bathroom. A used water bottle was in the frig when we arrived. The wayer was rusty. The towels were very nice and fluffy. The picture online did not match the actual property.

It was ok for the $$. Can't expect Trump plaza, lol, considering the rising costs. It was clean, pet friendly...(.needed.)
