Disappointing

Liked: The decor was modern and hard wood floors made it feel like it was more upscale than a highway side motel. Bed was comfortable
Disliked: Saw a couple of roaches on the floor when picking up towels. Given I already had key card problems and was exhausted from a day of travel, I was too tired to do anything about it. The "breakfast" included was laughable. I ended up still having to purchase food on the way to my destination as there was basically bagels, muffins and cereal with a couple fruit options. The only drink option was coffee. No tea, no juice no watwr even. Wtf. I've stayed at Whyndam branded hotels before and, even being a low end chain as this location is, I expected so much more.

Liked: Customer service, facilities

It was okay but I...

Liked: The property was conveniently located next to the highway and other restaurants.
Disliked: The A/C in our room, didn’t work properly. The room was wasn’t cold enough. I couldn’t sleep properly because I kept waking up because of the heat. The shower tub was clogged. And there was no A/C vent in the shower, so the restroom was hot. Breakfast was pitiful. About 7 pieces of bruised bananas and apples. 4 pieces of toast and 3 small muffins, and two types of cereal, but no milk.
