| - I stayed at the Wyndham for five days. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros: We didn't know that we were in town when the arts festival and Pride were happening but Wyndham was perfectly located for both events! Our room faced the Point State Park, so we had amazing views of the park, river, and bridges. The room is small BUT had everything you need (no fridge though). The beds and pillows are extremely comfortable and I had the best night's sleep. The showers have phenomenal water pressure (maybe too strong for some folks). Despite other reviews, our towels, shampoo, soap, and water bottles were all re-supplied everyday. KUDOS to Debby from Dining Services who was the kindest employee at the hotel! Lastly, the gym was great, it had everything you would need to have a good workout. I appreciate that the treadmills had TVs.
Cons: Valet parking was speedy and efficient. However, the valets did not help nor offer to help with our heavy luggage. Also, $30 a night! At check-in, I met with a Renee Pancakes (seriously) who was minimally enthused, and not very friendly. I'll hash it to a long night shift. With regards to the room, the walls are thin; we heard people being intimate multiple times, and even an alarming scream which brought the attention of hotel security. The WiFi was awful but had its moments. Lastly, we had lunch at the Three Rivers Lounge. While the food was fine, the service was slow (we waited almost 20-25 minutes with only three other tables being served). Our waitress, Lana was VERY kind and friendly.
Overall, we all agreed that we enjoyed our stay at the Wyndham specifically because of its convenient location. I do believe it's overpriced but you are certainly paying for the location, and you can always save a ton of money using Hotwire.
