Bad
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Turned up to hotel to discover it was closed due to a burst water main. Apparently this happened 6months ago and the hotel sent me a confirmation of stay and booking a few days before I arrived. I had pre paid for booking months ago and now can't get hold of them to arrange refund. Not happy

Pros:

I never got to stay because the motel was closed...chained shut. I want a refund AND an apology for not being notified. The hotel I had to get at the last minute cost twice as much.

Bad
Pros:

Nothing because the hotel was closed for renovations when I got there!

Cons:

Everything. Especially the lack of communication to me about the hotel not being open! Got confirmation the day of! I couldn’t reach anyone from the hotel, there was 800 # on the door for Wyndham, who took no responsibility for it because they also didn’t know that facility was not open. I tried contacting booking.com who I made the reservation through and have yet to hear back from. Beyond frustrated is an understatement!

Very good
Pros:

There was coffee and juices. I wasn't interested in much else.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that the so-called breakfast really wasn't a real breakfast.

Pros:

First room after check in the hall light was dim. Changed rooms and heat didn’t work at all. It was freezing in the room. Got up at 3 am to change rooms and was told I had to wait until the manager got in in the morning. Third room was better. Elevator smelled like marijuana. This hotel needs a major renovation. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in

Not worth saving a few dollars.
Pros:

Very outdated. The room had a smell as if it hadn't been used in a while. The bedding looked clean but the carpet was ripped in 1 place and stained. It could have used a good cleaning. Good for what we needed it for but won't consider staying again. The breakfast was very stale cereal, and bread with jelly. There was a partial gallon of milk in the fridge as well.

Nothing fancy.
Pros:

The bed was big and comfortable. They have Mtn. Dew. Nice staff.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little scant. The AC was either hot or cold. The graduation in between only worked sometimes. The room needed another chair to sit in.

Pros:

This is easily the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed at. Run down, old, not maintained and not clean. There was actually what appeared to be blood spatter on the bathroom wall among many other problems. I would have walked out of the place never to return if everything in town wasn't already booked for a trade show. Do not stay at this hotel!!!
