What guests think

At Travelodge by Wyndham La Porte/Michigan City Area, guests describe a budget, older property with generally convenient location and mixed experiences, where friendly staff and basic value compete with frequent reports of dated rooms, limited breakfast, and uneven upkeep.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms to dirty bathrooms, lingering odors, and occasional pests. Several reviews note maintenance and comfort issues such as noisy or ineffective air conditioning, plumbing problems, high or hard beds, thin walls, and worn furnishings. Parking can be awkward or poorly maintained, and some mention unsecured exterior doors. Expect a no-frills stay focused on price and location.

The first room we were out in tracked of cigarettes and it was a “non smoking facility”. The second room smelled of musty, moldy, bleach, and old smoke smell. The smell turned my stomach and made my eyes and throat burn. We had to stay the night due to us arriving at midnight after a day of driving 12 hours with a 4 year old. But we didn’t even sleep under the blankets of sheets. The room was dirty, out dated, loud and the smell was absolutely terrible!!! Do not stay here!! It feels unsafe as all the doors to the outside remain unlocked at all times and there is a door right to the rooms from the sidewalk. Anyone could just walk in.

The parking lot is a bit strange... pulling up to the lobby is best from the right side of the building. The other side has no exit. There are signs in the breakfast area telling guests to limit themselves to 2 boiled eggs, and don't take food to your room. But there aren't many tables in the breakfast area to sit. That seemed pretty strict, especially considering that there is little variety on the breakfast menu. I also noticed that they removed all of the muffins and sweet rolls before breakfast on Sunday morning... that seemed pretty chintzy to me.

Reading the reviews, I was a bit nervous about my stay. Truthfully though I was pleasantly surprised. It is nothing fancy and could use some updates, but I felt it was decently clean and comfortable. The shower head is low so be ready to squat if you are over 5ft 6 and the building is not secure from the outside. For the price it is a decent place to rest your head.

I chose this property due to location and price. Never again will I pick based on price. I should have paid the extra money to stay in a clean, safe, well kept facility. All of the doors to the outside were unlocked so anyone could access the building and there were several entrances. Appeared the carpet on the stairs and in the hallway hadn’t been vacuumed in months. Our room had a coat of dust on everything, end table, headboard. The blankets had stains everywhere. The worst part was the urine around the base of the toilet that hadn’t been cleaned for who knows how long. Absolutely disgusting. Still makes me gag to think about it. Wish I could post pictures here because I have evidence of the unbelievably filthy toilet!! No way was this worth $25 let alone the $127 it cost. So upset I wasted money on this filth!!

Older motel on a scrappy road into town. Generally ok for a night (given the price), but me and the wife agreed that the bathroom had been smoked in recently (district tobacco smell). We notified the desk clerk, who told us we needed to notify him immediately upon entering the room if we wanted to be switched to another room.

Good location and friendly staff. Beds were comfortable, but very high. One of us could have used a stool. Desk chair - the only chair in the room - was in poor condition and not built to support larger people. This should be improved upon. A second chair in the room to sit on, if there's space, would be appreciated. There seemed to be a bit of dirty buildup in the corners of the bathroom floor; otherwise, the floor and remainder of the room was clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Hotel & room were generally very clean; but the bathroom equipment was BAD - shower head fell off as soon as water was turned on; very weak water pressure in shower; hair blow dryer did not work at all! The cloth-cushion chair in the room was very water-stained (looked exactly like it had been peed on previously, though it did not have an odor; but neither of us would sit in it). The beds were comfortable! The parking lot was rather (very) dirty & grimey.

On my recommendation a friend stayed at this motel. He reserved through EXPEDIA, but paid directly to the motel. He had to cut his trip short by a day, and the manager would not refund the day. He told him he had to go through EXPEDIA. EXPEDIA got no money from him, so they had nothing to refund. Despite EXPEDIA trying to intervene, my friend was never refunded for the night he did not use. The toilet and bathtub constantly ran water, and the rooms ware mediocre at best for the price. I cannot recommend staying at this motel again.

I tried to call and talk to a manager and when I said I would like to talk to someone about my stay, they hung up on me. Not once but twice! This is a place that does not care about providing a safe and clean place to stay when you travel.

It was very nice stay. I am most happy with the hotel staff. Thank you so much. But. My problem again. Very high beds. It is so hard to get on the bed. We were staying in the hotels by Wyndham. They all have very high and uncomfortable beds. I am a senior and it is hard to climb to the bed. Can they fix it? The breakfast. Poor. Only hard boiled eggs. They had cream cheese, bagels and more but the egg upset my stomach. It will be be good to have some omelette and breakfast sausage instead. One more time thank you to the guy who helped us to check in. I don't know his name. Sorry. he was a great helper
