It was July 4th, the pool wasn’t open. The hotel was musty and dingy, the air conditioning was not turned on in my room and for an incoming check in on a hot July day, a/c would’ve been nice. The restaurant wasn’t open, I understand it was a holiday but it was unfortunate there wasn’t any other option because a lot of other places were closed too. The property is just on the older side, needs some cleaning and updating. For the price, I would’ve expected a bit more, but overall my actual room and stay were comfortable enough.

This property is a bad example on how to run a hotel on a budget. Pool was shut down, elevator broken, first floor ice machine broken, handicap exit door broken, refrigerator in room broken, TV not properly formatted so it has a tiny picture and a crappy sound bar. Parking lot crumbling near handicap parking making it very unsafe. Finally, rear smoking area literally right next to natural gas manifold for the building. That may be to code, but still not a good look. I have never stayed at a Wyndum Hotel before and I never will again. If this hotel is up to their standards, then it is a VERY low bar of quality.

Everything was good until we got settled in the room and realized there’s no microwaves. I called the front desk because we’ve stayed in this hotel several times before and there was microwaves. I then was informed that there’s no microwaves on the 3rd floor. The lady at the front desk was willing to reheat my food but it’s such an inconvenience to have to go all the way downstairs to let someone reheat your food. She did offer to switch our rooms but we was already settled in at that point. It would be nice if the 3rd could get microwaves or asked people will they need a microwave at check in so you can be put on the first or second floor.

At check in they wanted every pice of information again! If I fill it out online as requested why do I have to do it again. The hall carpet are old and stained . The lifts have old gum on the floors, the halls are dark and smelly. None of the ice machines work and the back and side entrance door access does not work. It needs a great overhaul and management that gives a dam.

My daughter is picky and looks for signs of infestation. Didnt really find any, which is good. But while she was searching she woke me to show empty bottles of liquor pushed under the bed. At least one cigarette butt and skittles on floor. Either a guest shived them under the bed and housekeeping neglected to clean it or housekeeping just swept the mess under the beds. Highly recommend looking under the beds. We arrived around 12:30-1 am because of fireworks so this could have been missed, and was by me..initially.

This hotel was not the best. We arrived at the hotel and the first time we tried to leave the room, the doorknob came off and we got stuck in the room. We were able to reattach the doorknob enough to open it, but it took a while to get it to work. We told the front desk that the doorknob was broken, thinking it was a security issue for us since we had our belongings in the room and even a safety issue as well. If there was a fire getting out of the room quickly would be difficult, it would take time to get out of the door. The front desk assured us that they would fix it right away. They did not. They never fixed the doorknob while we were there. The shower was also interesting. There seemed to be water under the base of the tub. When you stood on the shower floor, the tub floor moved like a water bed. My husband almost fell. Seems strange I know, but having the tub move while in the shower also seems like a safety issue ? Where and why was there water under the base of the tub? The bed was nice and comfortable.

upon arrival, there was a hand written note that said "left desk, be back ASAP". Standing there with bags for half hour with two other guest trying to check in. Upon standing there my visual started intake. The bellhop carts were too dirty to put my bags on. The floors were not vacuumed, lots of debris. Literally paper trash on floor in front of front desk. There was a stinch of uncleanness. One front desk person arrived he began my check-in. He asked "Do you want receipt?" i said "YES" , he said why? Excuse me, im not accustomed to paying without proof. Walking down hallway to get to my room, there were all kinds of people in corners and doorways before i made it to elevator. A young kid who received two rolls of toliet paper from front desk guy, let someone in from side door stairwell, elevator was not working, major debris in hallway. The place hadn't been cleaned since i don't know when. This is a place where low income families live. Its run down. Upon entering my dirty room....i couldn't even set my bags down....took a white towel ran it in the crease of the chair and BINGO! BEDBUGS! I never made it to the mattress, i flew out that room!

Me and my family were there for a week. During that week housekeeping never came. We asked several times for someone to just bring us more towels and empty the trash. They never came. Then on day 5 I asked for more towels and to have the room refreshed and they only came and gave us 3 towels. We ran out of toilet paper so we had to get a roll from the housekeeper cart. Day 6-7 we had again for things to replenished and it never happened. Also, they are re-doing the pool which would have been nice to know. The breakfast was gross! Same thing everyday; egg whites, pre cooked bacon and mini pancakes. They also had cereal but the milk was sour most days. I would never stay there again!

However, I rebooked my stay at another hotel for the next event in two weeks because the room was so dirty. The pool is green and the leather on the chairs is ripping off. The room hadn't had the air on, and it smelled like mold. Will never stay here again.

The pictures on the website are very deceiving. The front facade makes it look like a fairly new/remodeled hotel. You walk in the doors and you see that it is an old motel that is in need of repairs, remodeling, etc. The breakfast room tables looked like they were found at a restaurant going out of business sale, the room was musty and in need of remodeling, the pool was closed and the water was brown and disgusting. Plus the cost was so overpriced, it was a scam. Price was jacked up due to a lacrosse tournament at the DE turf sports complex. Since we were coming to see our grandson play and other hotels within the area were sold out I opted for this Wyndham Gardens. I have stayed in Wyndham Gardens before and am actually a rewards member and they are usually decent - nothing like this one. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Breakfast was OK the first day; second day there was no eggs, bacon or sausage on the buffet and not one seat open. When I mentioned the no food and seating issue to the manager, he commented “have a good day.” He didn’t address the breakfast problem at all nor even apologize. We ended up having to go out to breakfast. Wyndham could’ve done better.

For $157 a night I would expect more from a hotel than what we experienced. Overall rating is about a 2.5/5. The staff up front was very friendly. The room’s appearance was okay, but the shower was the disappointment. The floor of the shower was not even glued down properly and bubbly all throughout and the shower head only has 2 settings and was pretty ass pressure. And this morning I was expecting a breakfast that was supposed to be from 7-10 but when we got down there at 8:30am there was no hot breakfast except for ONE pancake. And it seemed like nobody was going to bring anymore out. Would not come back here again.
