About The Hotel

The Wingate by Wyndham Vienna Parkersburg is a 4-star Wyndham Wingate at 1502 Grand Central Avenue at I-77 exit 179 south to SR 14 in Vienna, Wood County, West Virginia, immediately north of Parkersburg. Rated 4.4 across 875 reviews - the Mid-Ohio Valley’s highest-review-count hot-tub-search hotel with strong subratings: cleanliness 4.6 (top for the region), rooms 4.5, service 4.5, sleep quality 4.4, location 4.3, value 4.3. Priced $90-$95 per night. Amenities include free parking, WiFi, fitness center, pool, free breakfast, boating access, bowling and pet-friendly rooms. Vienna sits at the confluence of the Ohio and Little Kanawha rivers - Grand Central Mall and restaurant row directly outside, downtown Parkersburg 5 minutes south, Blennerhassett Island State Park 15 minutes south (seasonal sternwheeler access), Fenton Art Glass Museum in Williamstown 15 minutes east, Ellenboro Sleep Inn Whirlpool Suite marquee 30 minutes east on Route 50, and Marietta OH 30 minutes north across the Ohio River. Recent candid 1-star flags include an August 2026 review reporting dirty floors under moved furniture (‘walking in bare socks, socks were black in minutes’), an August 2026 frequent-guest complaint that ‘new management has totally ruined a once decent hotel and hired some of the nastiest,’ a review recounting the hot tub water declining under new management, and one April 2026 Room 101 report of hotel staff entering a locked deadbolted room without knocking (violating a doorstop-secured guest privacy). These are honest flags against 875 reviews averaging 4.4 - most stays remain strong. Best for Marietta cross-river visitors, Blennerhassett Island historic tourists, Grand Central Mall shoppers, Fenton Art Glass Trail fans, business travelers on I-77 and family visitors wanting a solid chain-hotel base for the Mid-Ohio Valley confluence of the Ohio and Little Kanawha rivers.

What Guests Are Saying

“The hotel was very centrally located to shopping, family,friends, and restaurants Everything at the hotel was top notch. Fixtures and furnishings were new, rooms were pleasant, extremely clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Although we did not use it, the indoor pool looked wonderful and we saw an outside fire pit with a gas grill for use by guests. We traveled with our dog and although there was an extra fee for pets, there were no problems and we felt our pet was very welcome. The first night we were there they had warm cookies available to the guests at the check-in counter. The beds were very comfortable, and the pillows were heavenly. We did not try the breakfast, but there was a very nice choice of breakfast items available free to guests. I highly recommend this hotel for a safe, comfortable drama free stay” — buckeye62Columbusoh, 5 stars
