Will never stay here or at any Wyndham property again
Pros:

Nothing good about this property

Cons:

Very dissatisfied with the WindWater property. Elevator wasn’t working and we had a lot of stuff to carry up several flights of stairs. Shower handle was loose and broke off when it was turned, told maintenance about it, and the manager said she was keeping the deposit because of their own faulty handle. There were several big roaches throughout the place inside the room and outside as well. The manager was very rude and kept arguing with my boyfriend about the faucet handle and kept saying that we had to give her some more money on top of the deposit that she tried to keep. She was very unprofessional and frustrating to deal with. She called the cops and told them that we were trying to steal bc we didn’t giver her money to fix the faucet that was already broken.
