This is the worst hotel I've been in for years. Wallpaper was bubbling and peeling off the walls. There was grime all over the light switches. The towels, while clean, had old oil stains on them. The furniture was covered in stains of an indeterminate origin and chipped and scarred. It was a strange juxtaposition to the newly renovated lobby. Too bad I couldn't have slept there. Although the price was low for a major hotel ($60), I probably could have found a cleaner place at the No-Tell-Motel down the street. I was offered a wake up call when I checked in, and thankfully I set my cell phone alarm, because no wake up call came in the morning. This is the first time I've stayed in a Baymont, and it will be the last time.

I loved the price but the place was rundown. We liked how they tried to update the room with nice pictures and paint, but it didn't work. The room we stayed in smelled like mildew. The breakfast didn't look appealing.

I could write a lengthy review about how I'd been on the road driving for 9 hours; how I was really looking forward to a clean, comfortable hotel room; about how all I wanted to do was check my e-mail, watch some TV and fall asleep in peace and quiet. I could tell you all that, but I'll skip the details and just tell you what I found.

1. The room, located on the second floor, was clearly marked as a non-smoking room. So the first thing that strikes you as you walk into the room is this distinctive CHEMICAL odor, an odor being employed to hide the obvious odor of musty cigarette smoke. It permeates the furniture, pillows and towels. Nice try, but either this room "goes both ways" as a smoking/ non-smoking room or the smoke odor from the 3rd floor sank to and polluted the 2nd. Don't bother asking for a non-smoking room at this hotel.

2. Dust in the corners. Never a good sign in a hotel. Makes you question the overall cleanliness of the room (eg. the sheets, towels, bathtub....). Yuck.

3. The room was warm and the chemical odor was overwhelming. So I immediately turned on the fan/ air conditioner. IT MADE A CLUNKING NOISE ALL NIGHT LONG! I think one of the fan blades was bent and keep knocking against the guts of the air conditioner. Needless to say, I didn't get that "peaceful" night sleep I'd so badly wanted.

4. The wash clothes were old ,rough, fraying and very gray. I don't think we have dust rags in my home that are that bad.

5. The television set was a terrible. I wasn't expecting a 42 inch HDTV. But I was expecting decent cable/ satellite signal. Nope. The image was snowy on most channels.

6. But worst of all was the "High Speed" Internet. After signing in, I went to get my email. I clicked and waited and waited and waited .... I went to the bathroom and came back and my email still had not loaded!! I called the front desk for assistance. She didn't have a clue, and she kind of smirked when I mentioned how slow it was in downloading. I'm going to guess that is not the first time she has heard that complaint. Never did get to my emails.

7. When it came time to set up a wake-up call, I found out that the fancy phone system they have in each room doesn't quite work. After pushing the instructed number on the display and getting a rapid busy, I did it the old fashioned way - I called the front desk and requested a wake-up. She already knew that the automated system was broken.

Look, I could have overlooked any one or two of these mishaps. I'm not trying to be picky. I know it's not the Ritz. But taken all together, this place would definitely qualify as "a DUMP". It is in need of a major overhaul. And until that happens, STAY SOMEPLACE ELSE!!

very nice people working there, but the room was a distaster. wallpaper was peeling all over, separated. old, old, and not very clean feeling. bedding looks like it was 20 years old and sheets were worn.
