Travelers Beware.
First off, I want to say that the front desk individual was kind and hospitable. Also, the air condition inside my assigned guestroom was functional. That being said, the terrible hotel experience of mine began when I first arrived at the hotel location. The location is remote and gives off a creepy vibe on the outside once the sun sets (outside lighting is unsafe/very poor quality and there isn't much else around the area). Once approaching the front hotel entrance, there was one entrance door with shattered glass and the front entrance door handles clearly have not been sanitized in a while and were in poor condition. Inside the lobby, a heavy mildew aroma permeates the lobby atmosphere. Throughout the first floor hallways, various structural blemishes stood out and various forms of structural damage was clearly visible. The room I was assigned was very unsanitary (hair in the bathroom sink, all bathroom towels were stained to various degrees, bathroom flooring had visibly not been cleaned recently, shower/tub combo had clearly not been cleaned recently, the bathroom sink had various signs of untidiness and was in disrepair, the assigned guestroom had a musky/mildew scent throughout, the bedding blanket and cover sheet was stained in various areas by various colored substances, every surface inside my guestroom had visibly not been sanitized/cleaned in a while, and the guestroom couch was stained in various places. Very disappointed in the hotel experience.

Hotel was rundown and dirty. The pictures paint a false picture of how the place really is. Elevator doesn't work, didn't provide breakfast, pool was GREEN. Hotel had a nasty stench. Will never stay there again. TV wasn't even hooked up, didn't have a remote at all.

Check in with the assumption of breakfast, pool and pets staying free like advertised. Was informed no breakfast, pool was drained and pets cost $25 per night. Had no choice but to stay due to reservation that night. We get to our room and as you walk in on the mirror in the entry way was a smashed bed bug, in the bathroom nothing but dead bugs and a living one swimming inside the toilet bowl. The shower/tub looks as if you better wear shoes while rinsing off, and the hot water lasted 5-10 mins at most… around every corner was dirt, bugs.. when I walked towards the bed and my shoes crunched I about had it. The fridge provided in the corner near the bathroom was broke, seal hanging out of it. Oh and when we walked to the room it’s freezing, then inside the room the temp was set at 60 degrees.. I flipped the bedding after I noticed that smashed bug on the mirror and indeed the bed closest to that mirror had blood stains, the bed nearest to the air unit was decent so we all slept on that bed. They only stock the double bed room with one towel and hand towel and wash cloth, you’d expect 2 beds maybe 4 of each but we got 1… please please please examine before settling… do not reserve because they do not give refunds, also there was a strong chemical smell, strong night that I woke up with a sore throat and dried skin… not worth the money in my opinion due to false advertising on this app and so unclean… The ONLY good thing about this stat was the pleasant employee that afternoon.

Unethical
I booked this room well in advance of my stay with the “pay upon check in” option. The night before we were to arrive they tried to charge my card and the bank blocked it as fraud. I immediately got on the phone and began to try to rectify but they had already cancelled my reservation. All surrounding hotels were booked. This one wasn’t but they tried to charge me 5 times the rate I booked at to stay here. I spent 5 hours on the phone that night instead of packing! Hotels.com made it right and got me another hotel for the same price and paid the difference. Customer service was terrible and they are RUDE and greedy. DO NOT BOOK HERE!!

Do not recommend. Do not book through Expedia. Booked my stay 3 months in advance and when I arrived the day of my event to check in I was told they cancelled all of the bookings for the weekend with no notice. I received a confirmation the day before my stay began. They claimed that it was because they were OYO and not Wyndham anymore even though I booked with OYO. Then tried to charge twice the price of my weekend stay for one night. Hotel had a terrible smell and did not feel as if the AC worked in the lobby. 0/10 recommend
