The lobby was beautiful and not what I expected. Although located right on the highway there was very little noise. (I had the room farthest away from the road.) It was clean and comfortable, although nothing spectacular, I thought it was great value for the price.

Pass the Wyndham

Room was ok except for pencil shavings on carpet. Nicely stocked with toiletries and coffee. First room we were given hadn't been turned over. Second room tv didn't work, front desk fixed. Heat didn't work (snowing and blizzard conditions) so we were given a space heater. Heater finally started after 3 hours so shut off space heater. Froze the entire night as heater once again quit working. No coupons or discounts were offered for our stay. Probably won't risk it again. Plenty of others to try

Friendly staff and convenient for our 3-day event. Though linens and towels were all clean, the mattresses were old and saggy. The walk-in shower was a nice amenity, as well as solid wifi and tv service.

Upon check in, we were assigned to room 217. When we open the door to enter there was already people staying there! It was a shocking experience to say the least. We had to go back to the office ground floor carring our bags down stairs to the other end of the building from where we parked. By the time I got to the office I could barley breath due to having asthma. The beds have seen better days, also!
