Clean but sketchy. Fake pictures of breakfast spread. No breakfast offered

Pretty clean

Advertises free breakfast even posting photos of breakfast spread on booking. However that doesn’t exist. When I asked about breakfast, the owner (?) told me they only offer coffee and juice. But it’s advertised as “ good breakfast “ on booking. That’s false advertisement Also, the fire alarm in our room was disconnected and only a wire hung from the ceiling. Probably not code with CA rules.

Blahhh

Terrible customer service by management and refund turn around time!!!

Their customer service and inability to support potential guests and providing misleading information

3.0 / 10.0

Not great honestly just Meh!

N/A

You could have actually offered regular coffee in my room instead of 3 packs of decaf. The so called free breakfast item (costco tiny granola bar and a 4 oz sunny delight) showed a lack of care for the customer by the owners. It seems like saving and making money is more important than maintaining the quality that the Wyndham name is supposed to be synonymous with. Stained towels stained shower curtain, no lotion offered in the vanity area which honestly for the price of the stay was expected.and the owners really need to work on their customer service they aren't rude but they sure as heck aren't engaged and least of all welcoming.

5.0 / 10.0

Disappointing. Very tired for long drive home.

The breakfast is not a breakfast but is bad coffee, cheap granola bars and a small children’s punch. Breakfast room is used as a storage room. Building is filled with good smelling food but not for guests. Stop advertising a breakfast or start actually serving a breakfast.

Better breakfast, softer beds, actual hot water in shower ( lukewarm at best) and actual quiet time restriction, very noisy guests late at night, outside talking loudly.

3.0 / 10.0

Not for kids stay..

They say breakfast but all it is is coffee, orange juice and the chewy bar.. So they should not advertise breakfast .. The bathroom and room are not leveled so I hit my toes a few times.. overall it was quiet.. close to downtown.. I would not stay with kids I didn’t feel it was kid friendly

They don’t have breakfast.. and it’s no kid friendly

1.0 / 10.0

I request to be compensated

Location was at the center of the city.

States breakfast is included- it is not. We found stains on our sheets and the housekeeper was sent but only gave us new sheets, she didn’t remake our beds or take the old sheets. Night time came with almost naked females who I only imagine use their rooms since they were on the property.

10.0 / 10.0

Recommend for a family with kids just make sure to packed breakfast for the whole family.

Location perfect just to walk for nearby attractions, very clean and the staff was always friendly.

They did not provide any breakfast just coffee and granola bars

Disappointed Room for Cost

Felt and looked clean

Where do I start. Didn't have the room ready 2 hours past 3pm, shower bar broken, breakfast bar so limited. The front desk girl needs to show (through face expression) welcoming expressions.

Regretful.

Absolutely nothing.

Room was not clean, bedding was not clean, bathroom was also not clean.

The floor is very dirty. I don’t recommend to family travelling with kids.

1.0 / 10.0

I was a disabled trafficking victim treated like a threat and forced onto the street despite having valid reservations.

The housekeeping staff were kind and helpful when they were allowed to clean the room, which only happened a few times during my month-long stay. THE SHOWER WAS NICE.

I was targeted for an entire month. My packages were stolen, I was repeatedly shamed for being disabled, and when I hired someone (MERRY MAIDS) to help clean up, they kicked me out despite having a valid reservation. I was accused of being a threat based on gossip, not truth. They refused to renew my reservation even though I had one. I was forced to abandon my walker and shower chair. I was made to switch to a non-accessible room while they allowed drug use and trafficking on the premises. The manager was unkind and called the police to remove me, even though I followed all rules and begged for patience. They ignored my legal rights, ADA protections, and human trafficking concerns. They posted anti-trafficking signs while treating an actual victim like a criminal.

1.0 / 10.0

This is a horrible location and the services are third world class. Do not stay!!

Not a thing. It showed very different on the site than in person.

Everything. Poor service. Poor cleaning practices. Poor arrangements or lack of service when trying to speak to management. Location is in a shady area.

1.0 / 10.0

Worst motel I have ever stayed at.

Non existant.

Clean rooms. Provide flat sheet so you are not sleeping under dirty blanket. Shower and sinks that work. Hot water. would be nice. Staff that seem to know what they were doing.

We stayed less than 20 minutes, reported the unsanitary conditions, and left after no effort was made to fix the situati

Unfortunately, we did not find anything we liked about the property due to its poor cleanliness and unsanitary conditions.

The property was completely unacceptable due to its unsanitary conditions. The bathtub was filthy, with visible pubic hairs, black stains, and a worn, dirty surface (photos attached). The headboard was also noticeably dirty. The overall state of the property did not match the listing description, and we did not feel it was safe or hygienic to stay. We are extremely disappointed and would not recommend this property to others.

There was hair everywhere. In the tub, on the bathroom floor, on the toilet seat. But worst of all on the bed sheets. It looked like the sheets had not been changed

1.0 / 10.0

Wouldn’t recommend it unless only a single room is being reserved.

It was a quiet atmosphere

The ice machine never had any ice, our whole stay!! And even after making reservations, we were a family with 4 young children and didn’t get any type of accommodations!! Our rooms weren’t next to each other, with a 2 room reservation and the “complimentary breakfast” that was supposed to be served til 9:30am, they denied us anything well before even 9am.

You get what you pay for

Cheap, and walking distance from Main Street and several places to get a real breakfast.

Despite the photos, a lousy breakfast came in a brown paper bag with fake juice, 2 packaged “muffins” and a granola bar. Room was very basic with no closet or anywhere to hang clothes.

breakfast was a Orange juice ans a cake! NOT A BREAKFAST!

6.0 / 10.0

Pleasant

The room was clean, there was a fridge, microwave and coffee maker (I drink tea, but it was adaptable), the bathroom was good, w/ hot water. Within walking distance of downtown, but still quiet.

Breakfast was well below expectations. It was a paper bag with an orange drink, two mini muffins and a small unnutritious candy "energy" bar. It was hard to get the guy behind the counter. The second morning, I dinged the bell and he never showed up, so no breakfast at all.
