2/10 Poor

Pass the Wyndham
Room was ok except for pencil shavings on carpet. Nicely stocked with toiletries and coffee. First room we were given hadn't been turned over. Second room tv didn't work, front desk fixed. Heat didn't work (snowing and blizzard conditions) so we were given a space heater. Heater finally started after 3 hours so shut off space heater. Froze the entire night as heater once again quit working. No coupons or discounts were offered for our stay. Probably won't risk it again. Plenty of others to try

Going to fall through the floor!!
When walking on the balconey/ cat walk to get to the room, its so soft, you feel as if you are going to fall through the floor. We booked through hotels .com, got put in the very back room, the brick wall was our veiw, the light did not come on outside till it was 10pm so you could not see your footing out side and then the light stayed on and lite up the room all night long. Very unhappy with our stay for 296.00 a night. Very very over priced!!!!

Stay somewhere else
Be right back sign upon check in. Waited 8 minutes for someone to attend desk. Guy in front had booked but told it was already full. Bathroom gross. Hearing/cooling non functional. Told at check in breakfast wasn’t delivered that day, so not sure we’d have anything though listed as amenity. There were some prepackaged stale muffins and snack bars… some yogurt gladly. Room falling apart. Highly disappointed. It’s clear people don’t want to work here. No one home at check out either.

Some concerns
My stay was pleasant, but the rugs are very old and need replacement and I could not get my curtains to not have a gap. Since the windows are along the walkway, I was concerned someone could see me getting dressed or get into the jacuzzi tub.

This hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the airport which was convenient when we had to get an Uber ride to and from the airport since the car rental place said they would be open when our flight arrived and they weren't.

I would not stay here again. Beds were horrible, huge divots in the middle of bed, completely sunken in mattresses, very uncomfortable, flimsy towels, a/c unit leaked on desk, dirty carpet. Found a pair of dirty underwear from previous guest in room. The staff at front desk were pleasant and helpful but the actual room, very poor. I’m surprised at this because it is the Wyndham name as well as Howard Johnson. There are very many hotels to choose from in Traverse City. My next stay will not be here.

Disappointed
Understaffed-Manager had to leave the check-in desk vacant while she ran to rooms to see if occupants were out. Waited half an hour to check in. Room key became deactivated so had to go to the desk to get reactivated. Room coffee pot was extremely dirty. Manager was working the desk and trying to resupply breakfast items

It took almost 40 minutes to check in and only two people were ahead of us. When we got to our room there were dead gnats everywhere. When we passed the man cleaning rooms he had an open beer on his cart and barked at my sister to move when they were passing each other in the hallway. Very overpriced even for Labor Day weekend.
