I began by looking for a simple, clean, free wi-fi, room near the airport (IAH) for a one-night stay. I don't expect much, just cleanliness, comfort, decent neighborhood. I found this one while searching for 2+ stars and was able to book a room easily. I didn't understand the 2+ rating since it was a Wyndham property because they've got a great reputation.
I walked in and was truly surprised. On the drive-up, clean area, very well maintained property. Lobby entry, very clean and elegant, super friendly and easy-going reception/registration clerk. Room was outstanding!! Very clear, well-appointed, separate business/dining area and a separate sleeping area, a true suite. Everything in the room was upscale, clean, classy.
There was one negative though...They do not have a restaurant inside but let me know that they had a sister motel next door where I could buy dinner. This was the negative...I didn't mind walking next door but the meal they classified as a "dinner" for $10.00 was nothing more than some breaded chicken strips, french fries, and salad (something they ran out of in the first 45 minutes!). I was completely unsatisfied with that. The good news is that it in no way reflected on my experience at Wingate. The free, all-you-can-eat breakfast was certainly fine (fresh cooked eggs, bacon, misc breads, sweet rolls, waffles, coffees, juices, and more).
All in all, this was a tremendous experience and I highly recommend it for cleanliness, service, shuttle service to IAH, comfort, and all the other amenities listed on their site. I have no complaints (except for food availability).

I'm so glad that you truly enjoyed your stay with us! We have surprised many guests such as yourself with all of the complimentary amenities at a reasonable inclusive rate, unlike some places we do not sacrifice quality or cleanliness for a good rate...we have it all. I know that a restaurant in close proximity would be ideal for our location, but our drivers can shuttle our guests to places near us; I wish we could open something here (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for something). Hope to see you soon!!!
