If you’re in a pinch

Sunny D and Costco granola bars are not breakfast. Rooms could use a thorough deep cleaning. Mattresses probably cost 80 bucks new 10 years ago. Pillows are small square and stuffed full of ground up memory foam that sounds comfortable in theory but my neck is still sore even 24hrs after checkout. Husband and wife team who run it. The wife was nice. The husband gave the impression that I was bothering him when I asked him for extra towels. Conveniently located two blocks away from Starbucks.

I'm not sure where to start. We were greeted by a sullen teenager at the front desk who seemed put out by having to check us in. The room, while spacious, was extremely shabby. Torn curtains, dirty air vents, filthy control panel on the heating/air unit (I took pictures if anyone doubts this). Noisy guests above us (which, I realize cannot be controlled by the hotel). Very old appliances that made noises all night. Terrible drainage in the sink. The sink needs to be "snaked" ASAP. I will say the vanity lighting was very good. I didn't realize (my bad) that the hotel was on a highway and there'd be lots of traffic all night. I requested additional pillows and was told there were none to be had (by an even younger front desk person who was probably 15?) This was NOT a pleasant experience. I will not recommend staying here and I will NOT be staying at a Wyndham Hotel in the future.

Pretty disappointing

Various hairs, not mine all over in bathroom, no stopper in sink. No dispenser for toilet paper just sat on ledge, splashes of stuff on the wall. Drug dealsnoutnof another room fri nite and what sounded like a porn shoot above me sat nite for 90 minutes then 4 people left the room empty 1:30 am. Daily breakfast offered was coffee, sunny D and a tiny granola bar. Not doing again there

Sliding Mattress

If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

Bathroom sink backed up

On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.
