DO NOT STAY HERE! I've stayed at Wyndham hotels before which is why I chose this place. Wyndham should be embarrassed to be associated with it. The room was a filthy disaster and in total disrepair. There was dirt and dust on every flat surface. The paint was peeling. The floor was falling apart. The door didn't seal at all. You could see light coming around the edges when it closed. The closet door was detached. There was a dirty piece of toilet paper stuffed in the peep hole in the door. There was a power strip attached to the TV stand and it didn't have power it. Outside of the room, the hallways were filthy. The ice machine looked like you could get a disease just by looking at it. The breakfast that was available consisted of waffles, toast, and cold cereal. I couldn't be paid to stay there ever again. Wyndham needs to tear it to the ground and rebuild it from the foundation up.

Everything about this place was horrible. All aspects ‘screamed’ deferred maintenance. It was dirty and old. Not all the outlets worked properly and luckily we only had to stay one night. It would have been completely unbearable to stay any longer than that. The pictures online were absolutely deceiving and whoever posted those as representative of the hotel should be ashamed.

I am so shocked this place had so many good reviews on Expedia. I trusted it and regretted it. My son was bit by bed bugs, beds were horrible, furniture was peeling and breaking apart, walls are thin and it just felt all around just gross. I had no choice but to stay due to getting there late after being in Disney for 14 hours.

I stayed in this hotel too many times in the past, but this time I can tell that the hotel is going down in quality. The quality of the hotel itself and the service is poor. BTW, my room is the superior double queen room. It located the in first floor, all the way in the back of the hotel. Here are a few details from my stay (Oct 2025) 1. They skipped the room service once (according to front desk, the room service is schedule one for every two days). I had to call and went to the front desk to pick up the toilet paper, they do not even deliver to my room after my call. 2. The phone in the room is broken (The wire connector is broken), I had to call the front desk to fix it.
