Pass the Wyndham
Room was ok except for pencil shavings on carpet. Nicely stocked with toiletries and coffee. First room we were given hadn't been turned over. Second room tv didn't work, front desk fixed. Heat didn't work (snowing and blizzard conditions) so we were given a space heater. Heater finally started after 3 hours so shut off space heater. Froze the entire night as heater once again quit working. No coupons or discounts were offered for our stay. Probably won't risk it again. Plenty of others to try

Friendly staff and convenient for our 3-day event. Though linens and towels were all clean, the mattresses were old and saggy. The walk-in shower was a nice amenity, as well as solid wifi and tv service.

Upon check in, we were assigned to room 217. When we open the door to enter there was already people staying there! It was a shocking experience to say the least. We had to go back to the office ground floor carring our bags down stairs to the other end of the building from where we parked. By the time I got to the office I could barley breath due to having asthma. The beds have seen better days, also!

Going to fall through the floor!!
When walking on the balconey/ cat walk to get to the room, its so soft, you feel as if you are going to fall through the floor. We booked through hotels .com, got put in the very back room, the brick wall was our veiw, the light did not come on outside till it was 10pm so you could not see your footing out side and then the light stayed on and lite up the room all night long. Very unhappy with our stay for 296.00 a night. Very very over priced!!!!

Stay somewhere else
Be right back sign upon check in. Waited 8 minutes for someone to attend desk. Guy in front had booked but told it was already full. Bathroom gross. Hearing/cooling non functional. Told at check in breakfast wasn’t delivered that day, so not sure we’d have anything though listed as amenity. There were some prepackaged stale muffins and snack bars… some yogurt gladly. Room falling apart. Highly disappointed. It’s clear people don’t want to work here. No one home at check out either.
