The lady who checked me in, Dik something, was amazing!! I forgot to book a pet friendly room, upon check in she upgraded me for no extra cost. She was helpful, respectful and understanding. The rooms are way nicer than I remember. Parking still stinks but it’s an older motel. AMAZING beds and comfortable. Will come back :)

Place not as described in the website. Very dated and holes in walls. 1 bed was not made and had to ask staff to finish making. Went to have breakfast at 0830 and doors locked. Called the number on the door and went to voicemail. I called 2 hours later and person who answered just said hi. I had to ask if this was the hotel. Front staff friendly though. Would not stay here again.

nitially, I was given a room where someone had parked their car, so they had to move me to another room to accommodate the parking. Upon entering the new room, I noticed that the electrical switchboard was broken, with some wires exposed. The bathtub, shower rod, and shower head were also damaged, and there was no Wi-Fi available. In the morning, the breakfast offered was only continental, consisting of fruit, muffins, and coffee, although their advertisement on Expedia promised a full breakfast, which I found misleading.

I was under the impression that Wyndham hotels/motels were very respectable places! Man was I in for a shocking surprise! This place was filthy! I wiped the ring in the tub with the bath mat and it turned black where it touched the filthy tub! The bathroom window was a single pane on one side with a dirty stick shoved in the corner diagonally which obviously served no purpose! I took pictures to put on fb to warn others! This is by far the dirtiest motel I have ever seen! Even the plugins were grimy and not what you would touch without gloves! The noice was unbearable, some guy sitting out by my door smoking and the smoke was coming in my room I had to shut the door every time I brought an item in the place! I am over the roof disgusted with this dirty place and a health inspector needs to look at this place and condemn it !!!

It is February and minus 25 but the heaters in the room were not working well. The room was cold and we were told the maintenance man was trying to fix them. Maybe they shouldn’t have rented the room out if the heat wasn’t working properly. I had to get blankets from my vehicle to stay warm. Will not stay again.

The front desk was friendly and the room was clean. Lots of weird people in the area and the walls are paper thin. Being the long weekend probably contributed to the clientele. If you are looking for a cheap place to rest when passing through it would do but lots of homeless and addicts in the area.
