Hotel has hidden fees upon checking so double check prior to booking if you are “randomly selected” for an urban charge.
Overall, hotel has all the qualities you would expect from a Hilton. Front counter staff can improve on their customer service.
Most people checking in are tired and exhausted so they just want a nice smile and maybe a small cordial conversations.
The manager is incredible she gave us a tour of the historic building.

This is the worst experience with hotel rooms
The Bathroom are ridiculous small impossible to brush your teeth In front of the sink.
They are telling you that they did the room but it’s not true. At the middle of our stay the keys are not working the cleaning person takes the used towels but….. don’t put new one yes you read it correctly no towels in the room at not arriving from a whole day out visiting.
The maintenance is non existent !!! The worst thing is that Expedia is selling this Hotel like a 4 stars it’s a joke it's not even 2 .
The staff is absolutely NOT friendly not trying to help for the towels we had to wait for 1 hour and called the front desk 3 time
Never Wyndham hotel again

Bed was a no go, but the service was incredible. KEVIN was always there to help thank you for hiring him as he completed most of my stay and made us feel right at home. I wish I would have gotten the name of the two LOVELY ladies that helped at the front desk as well. The amount of actual hospitality and love that came from inside your doors is soemthing I will carry for a life time

Not a good experience!
Upon check-in, Balah, the night auditor, charged my Discover card $167. He then stated, “Oops, I’m sorry, Miss Lane, I charged you for the night.” This charge was completely unacceptable, as my stay had been fully paid for two months in advance. He explained that he was supposed to charge a $100 incidental hold but mistakenly charged me for the night and assured me the amount would be refunded. He also mentioned that he is new. While I understand being new, staff members handling guest check-ins should receive adequate training to prevent errors of this nature. This incident resulted in a very poor start to my stay.
After entering my room, I discovered several additional issues. The floors throughout the room were extremely squeaky, and the tub/shower was visibly dirty and unsanitary. The condition of the bathroom was particularly concerning and did not meet the standards I expect from a Hilton property.
I reported these concerns to Breion Stacker in Guest Services, specifically mentioning the grime on the shower faucet and handles, the dirty tub, and the squeaky floors. Despite these issues, I was never offered the option to change rooms. Instead, I was given two $10 vouchers for the gift shop or restaurant, with the limitation that only one voucher could be used at a time. This did not adequately compensate for being placed in a dirty room.
I also informed her that I attempted to contact the front desk multiple times the night of check-in and again the following morning, but the line consistently rang busy. I showed her photos of the bathroom, and she acknowledged that it was not clean. Given this acknowledgment, I do not understand why we were not offered the opportunity to move to a clean room.
Overall, this experience fell far below Hilton standards, and I am extremely disappointed in the handling of these issues.

I’m giving this hotel two stars because 1) Not please with the long wait at front desk they only had one worker while I was checking in and checking out , 2) if your aren’t a certain Hilton honors member you have to pay for the water bottles in your hotel room , will definitely proceed my stays at Marriott Properties because their bottles of water is complimentary . 3) this location did not send my check out receipt until the day after and charged my card over $200.00 the next day after I checked out when I specifically asked the young lady my balance and she told me $17.62 but yet charged me way more . Spoke with Shae , Shay , Shai how ever you spell it and she seem to may have fixed the problem but she shall see if the charge fall of my account the next few days . Property is nice but will never stay here again .
