Heading East, back home after spending time in South Dakota. Made the reservation several hours before my arrival, needing a place for the night as I was riding. Should have known for the price I paid, it was going to be shady but figured Wyndham was a good, reputable name.
When I arrived, they couldn’t quickly find the reservation but eventually did with the last four of my phone number. After that, twice, I said a no smoking room. Having a sign on your room door that says, ‘no-smoking room’ does not make it a no smoking room if the room reeks of stale, pungent smoke. At that point, it was late and I was tired and just needed 7 or 8 hours of sleep.
Unfortunately, that would not be the case. Between the man and woman across the hall yelling at each other while their large dog was barking and the incident in the parking lot, there wasn’t any sleep until after midnight. When I went down to move my bike away from the diesel spill flowing through the parking lot, I went down the staircase out a side door. A door that happened to be propped open, I suspect, for the folks that were parked in a cram packed car, possibly so that they could have access to the facilities of the hotel. Overall, the place was disgusting. The posted pictures of the rooms are not even remotely accurate. Wyndham should disassociate themselves from this motel.
