Baymont by Wyndham Indianapolis Airport Lynhurst

Was close to convention center.

The room was clean. The hotel was in good location.

Nothing

Absolutely nothing

Bad

Of all the unforgettable memories from our southern vacation, there is one particular slice of hell we gladly would have skipped.
Through the absolute magic of Priceline, I reserved what was advertised as a premium oasis at the Baymont by Wyndham Indianapolis Airport Lynhurst (5316 West Southern Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46241). All of this luxury was ours for the grand total of $74.97 a night! The listing promised a king-size bed, a picturesque pool view, a fitness center, and a morning breakfast. Technically, they didn’t lie. They just conveniently forgot to mention the post-apocalyptic reality.
Let me fill in the glamorous details:
The "Five-Star" Room Amenities
*The Royal Bed: We did get a king-size bed, beautifully styled with a generous, decorative scattering of mystery black curly hairs both on top of and inside the sheets.
*The Designer Linens: The "fresh" towels featured the exact same pubic-chic hair embellishments.
*The Complimentary Weaponry: Deciding to flip the mattress and sleep on top of it in our own sleeping bags, we discovered a hidden treasure—a filthy switchblade knife, just left behind like an amenity from a cartel-themed boutique hotel.
*The Plumbing Masterpiece: I threw the switchblade into the sink to sterilize and fold it down safely to throw away, but the water refused to get hot. Naturally, the shower was equally biohazardous, so we skipped bathing entirely.
*The Escape Route: The smoke detector literally fell off the wall. This was extra comforting because the window frame was entirely broken and sealed shut. If the place caught fire, we were destined to be smoked meats.
*Premium Security: The exterior lock assembly on our door was completely exposed and dismantled. We spent the night with the door heavily barricaded, clutching our newfound under-mattress switchblade just in case.
The Leisure & Dining Experience:
*The Pool View: Our stunning window view revealed a pool that was covered, abandoned, and currently serving as a giant canvas for someone else’s fresh vomit.
*The Architecture: Pieces of the roof were actively crumbling and falling into the pool area.
*The Hallway Decor: A stroll down the hall welcomed us with a ceiling completely carpeted in lush black mold.
*The Refreshment Center: Both the ice and vending machines were out of commission, proudly wearing "Out of Order" signs like badges of honor.
*Gourmet Breakfast: After witnessing the mold, the vomit, and the biohazard sheets, we decided to pass on whatever food poisoning they were serving for breakfast.
We checked in, realized Priceline's policy trapped us in financial hostage custody with zero refund options, slept in our clothes inside our own sleeping bags, and fled at the crack of dawn.
We have the photo evidence to prove this wasn't a fever dream. Ah, family vacation memories!

Absolutely filthy. I have never seen a Baymont so disgusting. Food on the floors in hallways, room didn't look like it had been cleaned in months. Very dark and dangerous parking area.

Nothing maybe the worker I still haven’t gotten my deposit back

This was the worst hotel I ever stayed at. I was there for 3 hours. Didn’t leave immediately because I needed transportation. They charged me 100.00 deposit that they said they’d return and they didn’t then 79.00 for a toilet for a room. $179.00 for 3 hours and no refund or response so far. The absolute worst hotel experience of my life and I travel quite a bit.

I didn’t stay for breakfast. I stayed 3 hours until I could get my kids to come and get me. Then the clerk said I had them staying in my room and so they are denying me a refund. It is the dirtiest hotel I have ever seen. I have stayed in Knights Inn so I know dirty hotels. Cleaning supples wouldn’t have helped. It was that bad. Shouldn’t have booked through booking.com because getting a refund isn’t happening for a 3 hour stay in a dumpster.
