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

Going to fall through the floor!!
When walking on the balconey/ cat walk to get to the room, its so soft, you feel as if you are going to fall through the floor. We booked through hotels .com, got put in the very back room, the brick wall was our veiw, the light did not come on outside till it was 10pm so you could not see your footing out side and then the light stayed on and lite up the room all night long. Very unhappy with our stay for 296.00 a night. Very very over priced!!!!

Stay somewhere else
Be right back sign upon check in. Waited 8 minutes for someone to attend desk. Guy in front had booked but told it was already full. Bathroom gross. Hearing/cooling non functional. Told at check in breakfast wasn’t delivered that day, so not sure we’d have anything though listed as amenity. There were some prepackaged stale muffins and snack bars… some yogurt gladly. Room falling apart. Highly disappointed. It’s clear people don’t want to work here. No one home at check out either.

The hotel was fine. Breakfast was basic. They really need new beds. Our beds were so worn you fell into a sink hole.

Some concerns
My stay was pleasant, but the rugs are very old and need replacement and I could not get my curtains to not have a gap. Since the windows are along the walkway, I was concerned someone could see me getting dressed or get into the jacuzzi tub.

This hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the airport which was convenient when we had to get an Uber ride to and from the airport since the car rental place said they would be open when our flight arrived and they weren't.
