I will never recommend this place to anybody. It was that bad
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Not clean. Food for breakfast was bad. Our room wasn’t clean. Hair on the walls in the shower. And floor wasn’t clean. Under the beds wasn’t clean. No conditioner in the shower. AC didn’t work. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Work up with a back ache every morning. Elevator jumps. They need to be checked out. Just overall looked dumpy.

Perfect place to stay!!!!
Cons:

The housekeeper apparently didn’t pay attention to toilet. Once the front desk was informed it was cleaned immediately.

Hot shower full breakfast clean rooms and walking distance to anything you may need.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, we appreciated the eggs. Really late on the weekends though. Restaurants and drinks and gas and Walmart all within walking distance. Rooms were clean staff friendly and the room was accommodating. Microwave was nice although we didnt find a need for it being just a 2 night stay but if we stayed any longer we would have.

Cons:

Breakfast was too late on weekends but that is normal. No freezer and the fridge barely got cool, again, normal. No hottub (though hotels rarely have them anymore). Pillows were 3/10 and normally I envy hotel pillows so that was the only real let down.

Pros:

Nice big room

Cons:

The smell was awful. Damp rite bags were there trying to absorb damp smell. Ice machine broke on all floors except bottom floor. People were complaining. It's all good I just won't stay at one again..

The stay was uncomfortable and below Wyndham standards and public expectations.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. Staff were competent and friendly. The lobby and entrance was very clean and bright.

Cons:

The hall carpets were worn and appeared to be dirty. The room had no ice bucket and there was no ice machine in the facility. The room lacked sufficient chairs to sit in , the bathroom only had a tiny piece of soap and no grab bar for exiting and stepping into the tub.
