What a difference a renovation and eight months makes on a place. I thought I had stepped into a W Hotel or something.
The Wyndham definitely got the boutique hotel decor memo from a few years back and responded. I remember this place feeling old-fashioned just last year, like a hotel where Gramps would feel at home.
This hotel lobby now feels hip (dead, from very few patrons milling about, but hip) and sexy with the new furniture - think lots of browns, leather and dark wood and comtemporary art.
The rooms were comfortable and hip just like the lobby. And they are promoting an angus burger and bordeaux pairing in the lobby restaurant - classy, baby!
It's not my favorite hotel in town, but I was pleasantly surprised and even caught off guard by the Wyndham. Now if we can just do something to liven up the streets around the hotel....
