Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reports of dirty rooms, having to change rooms three times, guests wiping up filthy mop water and requesting cleaning supplies — clear negative sentiment about housekeeping and room cleanliness.
Service
6
Mixed feedback: some guests called employees friendly and an on-site staffer cleaned a bathroom, but several significant service failures (lost reservations, rate not honored, key-card problems) indicate inconsistent training and execution.
Location
8
Generally positive — repeatedly noted as conveniently located (e.g., close to the race track) and praised by guests.
Room Quality
6.2
Mixed comments: rooms described as large with good water pressure, but issues reported with non-working AC, noisy metal bed base, vinyl flooring and wet floors — overall slightly below fully positive.
Amenities
5.8
Partial amenities: breakfast basics and a kitchen under remodeling were available, but guests reported shortages of towels/hand towels and some missing or incomplete amenities (and an AC failure).
Value for Money
4.5
Negative sentiment: guests reported feeling overcharged or that rates/ reservations were mishandled; one review explicitly called the hotel 'too over priced.'
Food and Beverage
6.8
Generally okay: waffles and coffee were praised and breakfast was described as fair, though there were complaints about limited breakfast items on the first day.
Overall Experience
8
Mixed overall: some guests enjoyed their stay and appreciated recent renovations and breakfast, while others were disappointed by cleanliness and service failings; aggregated sentiment leans slightly positive for overall stay experience.

Cons:

Had to change rooms 3 times and the 3rd was still dirty. I asked them for.the supplies to clean it myself. The gentleman that stays on site did clean the bathroom for us. Staff need better training on housekeeping.

I’ll think twice when booking at baymont, was disappointed!
Pros:

Breakfast was fair, and location

Cons:

Lost our reservation made back in February, had an issue honoring our rate we booked, told us they didn’t have very many rooms left we needed to decide, ended their were over 20 rooms still available. Our floor in the room was so wet took a hand towel and wiped up the mop water that was filthy, at least then the floor was not so slick to walk on.

My stay and room were fine for me. My companion would say her room was substandard
Pros:

Breakfast was acceptable and convenient to my rooms.

Cons:

My companions room was not cleaned well. She had noticed cobwebs at the curtains and bugs. One bug crawled across her chest while in bed. The other was a large spider that ran across her bare foot in the bathroom.
