Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham Dayton

Hubs & I travel all over the US, from May to Nov., so we know to adjust expectations per price point. This one met our expectations in some areas, but fell dismally short in others. Pros- Quick check-in Friendly & Helpful Front Desk Clear directions to our suite Well lit paths & patios. Large building & suite numbers Well-kept grassy areas, pet clean-up stations Pool upkeep, outdoor chairs and picnic tables Breakfast was delicious with a good variety and fresh fruit. No Bugs- anywhere Quiet, peaceful neighbors Reasonably comfy beds, pillows. A '15 min til check- out" call Check out went smooth, we received our deposit back. Cons- Overall impression of the room- dated, shabby, visibly dirty surfaces. Ripped/ stained side chair Odor that identified itself somewhere btw moldy food & mildew Having to switch out the room keys on day 2 Bathtub/Shower looked atrocious due to peeling tile. Floors & baseboards need replaced, Cabinets could use a scrubbing, new fixtures and a finishes. The stove was usable, but didn't scream modern nor particularly safe. There was a full pizza forgotten in the oven from Lord knows when, but the stench led us to believe at least 2 weeks. The fridge stayed cold, but needed a good scrub down. BYO- cookware, cooking supplies, utensils, dinnerware, dish liquid, trash bags, pillows, TP, Paper Towels and cleaning supplies plus any shower/ hair care needs and equipment. We may stay again if needed, now that we know what to expect

The room was much larger than I expected and the bathroom was probably the largest hotel bathroom I've ever been in. My only complaint was there were no cups in the room either with the coffee maker or in the bathroom, but we also grabbed a bottled water from the car and used that instead. (And we didn't ask the front desk for it)

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Staff was rude, rooms totally disgusting! The resort has NOT been remodelled since the 1980's. Pool was not working. My room had NO plates, NO bowls, NO, silverware, NO pots or pans. Mirrors were not wiped. The upstairs toilet had poop in the toilet. We share the room with a couple of bees. There are cigarette butt all over the property - like it never gets cleaned up. Beer cans all over the parking lot, we saw "needles" in the grass, vapes outside people's door. We felt very unsafe and everything was so gross and dirty. I wished I could leave but since I prepaid I could not. This is the grosses placed I have ever been.

Left for the day and came back to my bed not changed nor fresh towels were brought. I had to go and get sheets for my bed and towels for my room. Then was questioned, "why I didn't call earlier that morning to report it?" "Well, mama, I have been here since this morning and just got back."

I picked for location. First room was not acceptable sofa was broken Excellent staff gave me another room The sofa was good. However the light was burned out in the bathroom entrance, the toilet seat was loose and you had to be careful when you used the toilet. Outlets were old and I only found one that would hold a charger. The curtains were half off the hooks One pillow had no case. I was exhausted from a long drive and accepted the stay The staff were nice and as I felt the room was clean and stayed. A huge black mark in my book for this property
