What guests think

Travellers describe Baymont by Wyndham Santee as a budget, exterior-corridor stop just off I-95, with friendly staff and many clean, comfortable rooms, but an aging property where maintenance and amenities vary and the complimentary breakfast is very simple.

Room comfort is generally good, though small or lumpy pillows and occasional noise, loud A/C, or low sink water pressure are noted. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: alongside many tidy stays are recurring reports of musty or moldy odors, dampness, stains, and some pests. Facilities are basic; the pool is closed or filled, parking is well lit, and there is no elevator. Expect a simple, convenient overnight stop at a modest price.

The room was clean and handy to the freeway and restaurants. Comfortable enough. They need to fix the ice machine.

Parking was easy. Breakfast was good. Building was well maintained. It has Cracker Barrel next door, and it is near other restaurants, shopping. Keep in mind, though, that they do not have elevators. Front desk staff was helpful, too.

Holes in wall. Stains on chair. Smells coming from ac unit. Flying insects in room. Went to front desk to check out instead of staying and was told i can check out but there is no management to approve a refund. Told to call a number but that went to front desk who again said no management to make this decision on fri until monday morning. Spoke with someone who was to leave a message with management for refund and heard nothing. Oh and they filled the nice inground pool with dirt. That was our view from our room. Do no stay there.

Not the typical Baymont. This was clearly some other motel chain location that they bought. There have been some repairs and improvements, but it's clearly an old no-frills motel. Parking lot is awkward due to the big new hotel in front of it.

I was told the room is “poolside”—remnant of a small pool was filled in and a bit unsightly. Comfortable bed, bare bones breakfast.

They have a problem with their key entry system. I had to do to the office 4 times during our stay to reprogram the entry cards. One time was 12:45 at night when I couldn’t get back in after walking the dog. Their $20 charges for dogs is great but they need to have bag and poop stations as their lawn is littered with feces.

A dump, needs renovation. Stinky, nasty blanket cover, thin stained towels. Popcorn ceiling is peeling and looked wet. A/C was leaking on the floor and not working well, bathroom smells of urine. General dank feeling overall in this room. Never again!

The room appeared clean. The floors were wet when we arrived, perhaps from the cleaning. We wiped up the puddles but the floors continued to be moist. We finally put towels down to walk on and left the room door open for a while to try and dry out the room. The bug in the bathroom was the last resort. We would have left but it was late and we were tired.

Well the rooms are extremely strong of mildew and mold smell. There was a man casing the outside of the hotel which even a couple at the near by hotel seemed to be watching him too. Felt unsafe and was traveling solo. I have mold allergy any it was very strong in the rooms. I tried 2 rooms had to decline staying

Check in was smooth and desk staff was friendly. It fell off a cliff after that. Room was hot, humid and mold was visible on curtains. We had to flée the room after an hour because both or our sinuses were enflamed and we had a bad respiratory reaction to the mold. Did I mention the ceiling was falling?

I booked through Travelocity. I chose this based on the rate of $75 per day. Once I went online to pull it up to pay, the rate increased to $95 per day in less than 24 hours! The website for Baymont did not initially mention any extra fees. Upon arrival, I was asked for $40 pet fee ($20 p/d). Upon checkout the final bill jumped $99 from the original price. The copy shows $99 was manually tacked onto the bill. I traveled to attend a funeral. There is a lot of expense driving in from out of state. I need my $99 back now! The man at checkout had someone update the website rate and pet fee which was not there before. He now only promises to give me back $11. Where is the other $90???

Location

Convenient roadside location just off I-95, with easy access to gas and restaurants and walking distance to Cracker Barrel. A few note it sits behind another hotel and the lot/signage can be awkward, though many found it quiet for an overnight.

Fast check in even late at night. Room was exactly as expected. I appreciate all the hard surface floors as compared to gross hotel carpet. Appliances in good working order. Clock actually programmed to the right time BEFORE we checked in This is not luxury but it’s a clean, safe place to sleep with a Cracker Barrel right next door. Easy on and off the highway. Good lighting in their parking lot made me feel safe while walking my dog despite our arrival after midnight.
