Cons: We specifically requested a high floor with a view and were placed on the second floor overlooking the AC units. The hotel was loud at all hours of the night. The bed was uncomfortable despite being "adjustable", which didn't change anything. Also we woke up to charges on our credit card for parking at $10 a night that was not disclosed to us upon reservation nor check in.

Pros: Pretty much nothing. This place is gross. I wasn't expecting a 4 star hotel, but wow, I was really disappointed. It did seem like it was partially under reconstruction, but it looked like exterior work. They need to bulldoze the place and build a new one. I've stayed at Best Westerns before, and they were alright, but I'm never taking a chance on one again.
Cons: This place is just gross all around. The room smelled dank and musty. The neon light above the sink was shorting out, and was like a disco strobe-light when I turned it on. So I wasn't able to use the mirror above the sink. When I arrived, the bathmat was on the floor in front of the bath, and it was wet, and dirty. I think when they cleaned the room, they forgot to finish the bathroom.

Cons: i paid $400 for 3 nights to take my girlfriend to athens,ga for her birthday. when we arrived there were 4 busses of school kids in town for an event so for the 1st and 2nd day we had kids running up and down the halls most of the time. we also got a room right by an elevator so we got to hear people getting on and off that all night. every morinng they would start cleaning around 8:30-9am so we couldnt even sleep in. the last morning we were there was a sunday morning and even tho we tried to call the day before to ask for a late check out,they said we had to call the morning of. to me that defeats the purpose of getting a late check out bc you still have to wake up and call. anyways we woke up and called and asked for a late check out only to find out that they had so many new people checking into this hotel on a sunday night that werent allowed to get one, even when we told them it was my girlfriend's birthday. ill NEVER stay at this hotel ever again. this was supposed to be a 3 star hotel and ive stay at hotels that were half the cost and they were alot more quiet and pleasant to stay at than this place. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

Pros: Room was clean. Front desk efficient and friendly.
Cons: No soundproofing from hall - you might as well not even close your door! Elevator dings loudly, so do try to get a room as far away as possible. Housekeeping started knocking on doors and conversing VERY LOUDLY at 8am. NOT appreciated, as we had checked in in the wee hours of the morning.

Pros: clean room and bed. no bedbugs.
Cons: Where do I start? It was hot and muggy in the lobby. Clerk had friends hanging around watching tv and chatting with him behind the counter. They clearly did not work there. Same thing happened with the female clerk the following morning. She sat there chatting with a friend behind the counter, who, again, was definitely not an employee. No elevator - just stairs. Shower head sprayed water everywhere. Went out the back door at night but got stuck out there. No lights anywhere in the back. Room key wouldn't open the door. Had to use cell phone light to walk around to front. Very scary. Trash strewn everywhere in back "yard." Had to jump over screens that had fallen off windows, bottles, etc. I felt very unsafe there and will never, ever go back. I had to wonder why, if this was a Wyndham hotel, they would allow these things to happen. No responsible management oversight AT ALL! Worst hotel/motel we stayed at our entire 2 week trip throughout the South.

Pros: I liked being able to leave.
Cons: The defining characteristic of our stay was that our room smelled really, really bad. Luckily we were only there to sleep. Every time I would wake up even briefly in the night I was reminded that we were staying in a really foul smelling place. The odor was overpowering. We noticed it immediately when we walked into the room and almost went to request another room but we had things to do and knew we would only be spending a few hours there and that all we would be doing was sleeping.

Cons: No pillowcases on any of the pillows when I checked in, staff gave them to me.
