Location

I have stayed at Wyndham hotels before and have been very happy with my experience. Unfortunately, this is not one of those hotels. While the front desk people are friendly and ready to serve, the number of times I have had to interact with them (in a less than positive way) have been excessive. I am not what you would call picky or entitled. I just want to stay at a hotel—or otherwise—that gives me some respect. So I felt this review was necessary. I will try to be succinct, but here goes…

1. Although we had a Jr. Suite, there was no telephone in the room. I had to go down to the desk clerk to report this (obviously, because there was no phone). It was brought by the next morning.

2. We noticed immediately that there was no glass plate in the microwave. (Again, another trip down to the front desk clerk.)

3. There was obvious chipped paint on both sides of the bathroom door, making it look old and less than clean. (Such an easy fix!)

4. Some of the furniture is old and worn out (see photo of the ottoman; in fact, see all the photos).

5. The tub has nothing in the bottom to keep people from slipping and falling, unless one has quick enough reflexes to grab onto the grab bar on the shower wall, which my husband was able to do. He made a point of warning me afterward, so I wouldn’t have the same mishap.

6. The light switch by front door and the switch on one side of the bed are on the same circuit, even though they are in two different sections of the suite. If you want the lamp on by your bed, the front door light comes on, and vice versa. (This led to other inconsistent electrical issues that I won’t even get into.)

7. The smart TV, although a nice 50” diameter, is basically worthless, as it did not open any of the apps that I was looking to watch, but instead gave me Error messages. These included: Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV. I didn’t attempt any more apps after that. Then I tried using the “screen-mirror” option on my iPhone the first night, which showed up on the TV AirPlay up to a certain point, after which an Error message appeared on my iPhone 16e about its incompatibility with the TV. I tried doing it again this morning, but the link to the TV did not even show up on my screen-mirror option. I did address the situation to the front desk clerk on the first night, but he was at a loss as to how to rectify the matter.

8. The Internet WiFi in our room was hit-or-miss, not reliable to even open up websites on my iPad. I ended up having to link my iPad to my iPhone to establish internet on my iPad.

I don’t look for perfection in a hotel, just comfort and a little respect. I will say, to that end, that the king-size bed was very comfortable (with nice, squishy pillows) and gave me three good nights’ sleep, and for that, I am pleased. Also, the free breakfast had a good assortment of food to eat, both hot and cold, but I’ve come expect that from Wyndham. So, I will continue to stay at Wyndham hotels, but not at this one.
