What Guests Are Saying
“I do not recommend. We have stayed at several Microtel Inns over the years, but this one was the worse. The room was very small, though our room was designed for disability comfort. The bed was not comfortable. They did not start putting out breakfast until after 7am. The breakfast was paltry. Only 4 muffins and 4 waffles. Nothing was hot and the milk smelled bad. The coffee tasted like it was made yesterday. I asked the guy behind the counter if this was all they had for a continental breakfast. He smiled and said, sorry.” — Jacob W., 2 stars
“Absolutely gross. Broken AC grill. Filthy stained shower. Water and soap stains on shower walls. Dust and gunk where toilet paper roll hangs. Used bottle of shampoo. Water barely warm. Tissue holder empty. Breakfast was terrible and they used styrofoam plates that you can’t put in the microwave to warm up the oatmeal or frozen egg patties.” — J S., 1 star
“The rooms were very small. Felt like I was in a box. Not worth the money at all. the tv was broken upon arrival. the sink was dripping the whole night could be more modern styled there was no lamps in the room and of course i left my block at home. got here thinking they have the lamps with the usb outlets like most of the hotels. BUT NOOOO THEY DON’T. so don’t forget your charging blocks!” — Scenic54952712741, 1 star

What guests are saying about Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham.
"Is fair priced compared to several neighboring hotels. Staff has been pleasant the couple times I have stayed here. Air-conditioning worked great in each of rooms have stayed in. If looking for place to stay at last minute with no plans being made without feeling like need to take out a loan just to sleep for the night then I have no problem choosing to stay here again. Am giving 4**** cause is what they already have at the time of this review and im not going to lower them by no means and at same time cant give a complete 5***** review either. I mean if you want to get real technical then yeah it could use a few things here and there but that would also mean the cost to stay would increase at sametime. If that your that person then wouldn't be looking through reviews to begin with."
