Booked this place as a 2.5 star on XriceLine for 59...Checked in and everything seemed ok, then I got on the elevator...It felt like it was going to break down...scarey...get to the 3rd floor and was blown away by the disgusting smoke smell...then I got to the room and it got worse...filthy carpet, blood spot about 10 inches round ON THE BATHROOM TILE which had just been smudged with a towel...blood on bathroom walls....PUBES EVERYWHERE...Bathtub was so worn I wouldnt give it away to the trashman. The gym equipment was broken and unusable, appearantly the hot tub has been broken for years. The WIFI DID NOT WORK, and there was no wired internet access. The general manager was told about the wireless not working, and his solution is not to fix it, but pass the buck on to the customer. He told me to bring my laptop down to the front dest and use it there???? Are you kidding me. Luckily I picked up a signal from the hotel ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. Transient crackheads lurking around every corner making me very nervous. The only thing that wasnt either broken or gross and unkempt was the bed, had a nice sleep. Would not reccomend this place to my worst enemy. Wingate Im ashamed of you...take your franchise name off here...DO NOT STAY HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES>>>PERIOD.

I bought(name your own price) this hotel on Priceline as a 3 star hotel.Big stains on the hallway carpets,I found 2 live ants on my bed sheet(the big red ones).Big clump of black frizzy hair on rug in room.Walked into room very warm window wide open with air conditoner going.The mini fridge not working I pulled it away from the wall (it was in builtin cabinet)the whole top is full of dust and its unplugged.I get it running but knob inside fridge is missing so you cannot make it colder.JUST A REAL DUMP STAY AWAY>

My 17 year old niece and I recently stayed at this hotel for one night during a road trip to/from Florida. We were uncertain about how long we could make it on the road and at the wheel, so unfortunately I did not pre-book a hotel mid-way into our trip...big mistake.

After being unable to find wireless internet in the Florence SC area, my niece called hotels.com who gave us a "deal" on this hotel at $110 nightly. When we checked out of the hotel the next morning, I questioned a bill for $68 that had been slipped under our room door. Embarrassed, the very nice gal at the front desk told me that "$68 approximately is the price the Wingate Hotel charges hotels.com and the remainder is profit for hotels.com...I inadvertantly was given the room charge that was meant to be sent to hotels.com...sadly, I was charged nearly double the going price by hotels.com." Ripped off, in other words. Booking the Wingate directly would have cost me about $70 for the one night stay. Oh well...certainly no reflection on the hotel.

At any rate, this hotel is alright and extremely average. It is almost difficult for me to recall little details as I write this review merely one week later. This Wingate is located right off the highway--Interstate 95, so it is ultra-easy to find. The front desk gal and all staff were friendly and helpful. Lobby was atractive and clean. Check-in was swift, parking was well lit and ample.

Our room was typical business furnished with two comfy, queen-sized beds, an average sized and clean bathroom, free Internet (that did not work for me), in-room coffee and fridge, standard television (not flat screen or HD but I do not watch much tv), etc. Furniture was new, our room smelled fresh and clean, our room appeared very well attended and clean, AC worked well enough, etc. Exhausted, my niece and I chatted a bit but quickly fell asleep.

There are a variety of fast food places and chain restaurants just down the road, an area that seemed relatively safe. The free continental breakfast looked good but my niece and I passed on it.

Overall we had a good experience at this Wyndham Wingate albeit an average and unmemorable one. Not sure if I would recommend this hotel to others...probably I would.

The staff here is wonderful, and the lobby was sparkling-clean. Unfortunately that didn't extend to our rooms. the bathroom could use some updating, as well as the carpets in the hall and in our room. They had a few stains which we were able to overlook. The Wifi didn't work in our room (only in the bathroom of all places). The walls are thin, so I could hear people in their rooms talking and walking down the hall.

Breakfast was a typical continental style. nothing to write home about. Cleanliness again was the culprit as I found a hair on the stack of styrofoam cups and another hair on our table. Ick.

But, for a pass-thru town, it's not a bad place to stay, but not the best. I think I would have fared better at one of the other choices in the area.
