Nasty dirty bathroom! It apparently had not been cleaned for a long time. We wiped the floor with a cloth and it came away black. Hair in shower/tub. No plug in tub. Mirror covered in fingerprints. Disinterested check in staff. Broken drawers in dresser. Should have been put to the curb. Check out staff however was very pleasant and friendly. Won’t stay here again Wyndham should be ashamed to call this property theirs.

I always stay here when visiting family in Staunton. The main reason? Because of the service!! They are so nice and accommodating! Yes, it is older and dated a bit, but they recently gave the place a fresh paint job and are doing their best. Thank you
