Bring your own breakfast and multiple cards for check-in. Do not expect any room for changing because the rooms are so small. If you are gluten free forget having any options for breakfast. If you want oatmeal bring your own bowl.

Clean, friendly, affordable! I’d stay here again and refer all my friends family and others to stay here. I loved the option of the tv having Netflix on them, super cool!! Breakfast was delish too and the WiFi was fast

We switched from our usual stay location with a different brand after a particularly bad experience our last time. Based on what we experienced at this location I believe we have found a new home for our routine business stays in the area. Clean and well maintained to a fault. The room was well designed for mobility limitations, right down to the shower, which was fantastic, BTW. There was even a lift chair! That is something you never see in motels, rarely even a recliner. The only thing we could have asked for was a better breakfast selection. Eggs and sausage would be adequate. Very quiet location, but it *is* tucked away a bit and off the main drag.

Was told I would receive my money back due to these issues and now I'm told i won't be receiving my full refund. If I was you I would waste my time or money on this place. They refuse to make it right they offered me points for another stay when I don't even want to stay in another Wyndham property I even stayed at one in Tennessee and oh my God I thought clive was bad. When we got to our room in Tennessee it was thrashed the doors didn't lock the walls has patches all over them the bathtub was filthy like it hasn't been cleaned in a year the beds had stains on them the couch was held together by staples this is my worst experience at staying in a hotel an it's not just one of there properties but it was at both properties I stayed at with my kids an I will not ever stay again at a Wyndham property

I accidentally left my wallet in the room and got about 40 miles away when the clerk called me and they had found it. In today’s world you might not expect that to happen. Everything was in my wallet….cards, cash….would have been a terrible vacation! Can’t thank these folks enough. Also, Room was nice and clean….breakfast provided. We’ll stay here on our way back home as well

Worst place I've ever stayed. Outside doors were propped open. Men outside the doors grilling food and drinking alcohol. Late night checkin. People checking in after midnight, making all kinds of noise. Room smelled of mildew.

This was a decent place to stay. The room was small, but it had a mini fridge which was nice. The air conditioner was very loud, but kept the room comfortable. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner.

Staff was EXTREMELY rude, Angry that I checked in at 1:00 am., and let me know just how angry they were. (I was 'walked' from another Wyndham property by Wyndham headquarters when the other location was overbooked). Never heard a welcome or a greeting of any kind. A terse 'driver's license and credit card' only. Never heard a please or a thank you during the entire check-n process. I was given no information at all about where my room was located, Wi-Fi, breakfast, parking or any other amenities. I am in my seventies. I have NEVER been treated like this before. I almost left because I was fearful of what this person might do, but it was cold and snowing and there was no place else to go.

"When we arrived at 10pm on Saturday, July 2nd late at night, the woman at the front desk was extremely kind and friendly; she is the only reason I am giving the review a 2 star rather than a 1 star. We slept well and the beds were comfortable, though the room and the hotel in general was pretty run down. In the morning, around 6:30am on July 3rd, I took my 3 young children for breakfast, and there was news playing loudly on the TV. Given that the news was highlighting things that was too mature and scary for young children (violence, arrests, protests etc...), and that we were the only ones in the dinning room with only 1 other guest, I thought I would change the channel while we were eating. When I went to ask the man at the front desk (maybe in his 50s, bald), he was on his cell phone and was immediately annoyed that I asked him a question. When he got off his phone and I asked if he could please change the channel or turn the TV off, he became immediately very agitated. Within 30 seconds, he was yelling at me, telling me that that the hotel was sold out and that he was not going to accommodate me because the TV was for everyone, not just me. I calmly explained to him that I understood, but that I had young children and the content on the TV was scary for them, that we would not be long in the dining room and that I had already asked the other guest permission and they did not mind that the channel be changed. This made him even more agitated, he yelled at me some more in front of my children, then walked away from me, refusing to change the channel, and muttering, "who does she think she is?!" He then got on his cell phone once again and I overheard him talking about me to the person on the phone. My kids were obviously shaken by this, so I took them back to the hotel room, we ate there, and left as quickly as possible. This was a huge contrast to the kind, welcoming woman who had greeted us the night prior. I am writing this to warn families of the non-family-friendly nature of this hotel, and to management so that they are aware of the terrible and verbally abusive customer service we received from this man. Never in my life have I been treated this way for such an small request, or for any request for that matter; it was horrible customer service to say the least, I don't even have words to describe. If you have a young family, I strongly recommend you pay extra to go somewhere else."

Our only issue was that there was no elevator. We had six bags for our stay and we’re on the second floor. New staff member was very polite and helped us out twice. We did not have breakfast, but it did smell good as we walked by.
