I will not ever stay here again.
Cons:

I called the front desk at 6AM to let them know there is a leak and they said they would check it out. Then at 7AM there was leaks coming from multiple places in the ceiling and bathroom. There was a flood in the room and i called the front desk back and they said there was no maintenance available until 9AM. I let them know that no one showed up to even look at it. The front desk still did not do anything. When we were checking out i told the front desk again at 10AM and the front desk said he was unaware. There was a flood in the room.

Do Not Book This Hotel!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Dirty, old facility. NOTHING WORKED! Room key (they only give one per room) kept getting deactivated, lobby restrooms didn't lock, filthy, no paper towels. Room dirty, ac loud, toilet won't flush properly, terrible breakfast, indifferent/rude staff, other room's toilet flooded the room upon flushing. In short, very bad experience, regret having booked this hotel.

Stay away
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Walls in room were really dirty. Bathroom door didn’t fit door opening and wouldn’t close. Water pressure was weak. Sink hot water was on right instead of left as standard sinks are. Ice machine was right outside our room and noisy when being used. Will never stay here again and will not recommend to anyone.

Just the location!

Cons:

Rude and dirty staff! The entire place is dirty and smelled like cigarettes and weed smoke. Curry food smell throughout the hallways.place was like a garden style apartment.bed sinks to right. Trash in hallways and lot. Black hairs hanging off the hair dryer over sink. Homeless people sleeping in run down car. I can’t believe this is part of wyndham!

Horrible
Pros:

This was one of the worst rooms and hotels I have ever stayed in. It said that it was a no smoking facility and the whole place smelled like smoke. The walls were covered with food stains and hair and I didn't dare walk on the floor without shoes that's how gross it was.
