Would you enjoy walking into a hotel where all the lobby and dining area lights are turned off (so itโs very dark inside), the lobby a/c is either turned off or not working, thereโs a weird smell permeating the entrance, the front desk clerk stays seated in a very low chair behind the desk (where you canโt even see him from a distance) and doesnโt even welcome youโฆ If you would enjoy all of this, then this Wingate is for you!!!
The hotel is dirty (mold on bathroom door and stained sofas in the rooms), hot (no working a/c in lobby), creepy (all lights turned off in the lobby and dining areas) and staff is unfriendly (clerk will stay seated, hiding behind the front desk, and will not even welcome you or ask if youโre checking in).
I was meeting with someone in the lobby area with tables, and when I asked the front desk if lights could be turned on they said โthey can only be turned on inside the maintenance room and itโs lockedโ. As weird as it sounds, it feels like theyโre trying to save money by having all the lights off.
This is truly the most bizarre experience I have ever had in over twenty years of business travel. I was stuck there for the night and had to stay, but did not even shower in the morning and left as soon as I could.
Is Wyndham Corporate aware of the current condition of this hotel? It does NOT look like the pictures on Expedia (they must be at least ten years old).
BEWARE!!! STAY AWAY!!!
