We were there only for 1 night...no cups in the room, no coffee maker in the room, breakfast was to be continental, but was dry cereal, coffee, no juice, milk was warm and apples. Oh and oatmeal...The fixtures in the shower were loose...the desk person in the morning was dressed like was unprofessional and Not a Wyndom employee. The TV remote did not work and no lists of the channels that were available. The hotel as a whole was a tired one!

There were large stains on the bedding. What looked like dried blood. Because the stains were so large and so dark, there is no way that housekeeping or hotel staff would not have seen them. It is disgusting that the beds were made up as clean this way.
