What guests think

At Baymont by Wyndham Harlan, travelers often highlight friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and a solid complimentary breakfast, while noting recurring damp or musty conditions, some maintenance hiccups, a frequently closed pool, and the lack of an elevator.

Location is convenient in small-town Harlan near Highway 59 and a short drive from I-80, though rooms on the highway side can get some road noise. Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, but several guests noted humidity in rooms, subpar TVs, limited water pressure in some showers, and that not all rooms include a refrigerator. Some guests also reported slow or curt front-desk interactions, especially late at night. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills stay with a few compromises.

Room was clean and spacious, bed was comfortable. Right next to food and grocery store. Unfortunately- the pool is empty and the room filled with mattresses- so be sure to check pool status if that's important!

Room was clean and everything working. Check in fast and easy. We were in room 104 which is the hwy side of hotel if noise is a problem request a room with odd numbers. Hotel sits back from road but still some big truck traffic. Pool is still closed so disappointed as it is a nice way to stretch out after traveling. Breakfast okay- something to start your day.

Farm land with nice location. Bill board and website said pool and hot tub available but they were closed. Rediculous price for services not rendered. A 50 percent refund is due at a minimum. Night staff was just plain rude. Day shift was probably first day on job as they discussed power washing the entrance which was needed. Not impressed. Stay somewhere else.

The hotel was nice but the bathroom condition was only ok. There had been water under the tile and they were broken and moved. Also need to read the description as there was no elevator.

We chose this hotel because of the pool amenity and good reviews. We were recieved very graciously by the receptionist, kudos to her. We unpacked and went directly to the pool, and was mer with a sign that the pool was closed due to issues. Should have been made aware of this prior to check in, as it was a major part of our decision to stay here. The room is as described, and reception was great, but completely disappointed my two boys. We stopped their 1st love early (ripping laps on a MX track) to come here to swim somes laps ay your pool. Where we totally could have just kept ripping the track. Do i ask for my money back and go somewhere with a pool? No, I'm not that kinda guy, but sheesh...

Very close to Crazy Horse memorial, Mount Rushmore, and Custer State Park. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was better than expected with eggs, sausage, waffles and menu was changed daily. Our only problem was a strong garlicy odor in the room. They attempted to remedy it, but the smell persisted to some degree during our stay. I must the odor was only in our room, not anywhere else in the hotel and our room was otherwise clean.

Seemed to be in a safe area. Breakfast was good. Daytime staff was kind. Beds were super comfortable. That is the good. The bad: took 20+ minutes for the attendant to come check us in at 11:20pm upon anrrival and then did not apologize for the wait or really speak to me. Very awkward. Upon walking to our room there were multiple dehumidifiers in the hallway. When we got into our room it was so damp that the floor felt wet. The room door would only latch if force was applied. The bathroom door would not latch at all. There was a large spider in our room that night and a large cockroach-looking bug in the morning as we were getting ready to leave. VERY disappointed in our stay. Will not be staying there again!!

I stayed here for the period July 21 to the 25th and not one time was my room cleaned. At the rate of $139 a night that is absolutely ridiculious. If you wanted service you had to go down request it (and I believe for an extra charge) or if you wanted fresh towels you had to bring your used towels down to have them replaced with fresh linens. I only stayed here because there were NO other hotels with vacancies in the area. And, to add insult to injury, the breakfast, while ample, the "hot" items were cold and needed to be mircowaved. The overall condition of the hotel was fine, but the room service is uncalled for.

Over my six day stay I started hearing doors slamming and house keeping cart rolling around 7:30am daily. I don't sleep in so that didn't overly bother me, but the customer service at the front desk was abysmal. For example, one family member that flew from Texas and booked a handicapped room because they have mobility issues arrived to be told their wasn't a handicap room available, but since the rest of the family was staying at the Baymont and he already had the hotel he decided to stay. I personally felt like an inconvenience whenever I asked for anything from the front desk, especially during the night shift. At one point the key reader to my door went out, we spent 15-20 minutes fixing it in the hallway at midnight, and then the front desk took my keys. When I want back later that night to ask for another key, because I didn't have any, she rolled her eyes at me. The stay was fine.

I was able to check in about 45 minutes early, and my stay was pleasant. A/C unit kept the room nice and cool amidst temperatures in the high 90s. Breakfast was great each morning, and served over a large window of time (6 AM to 10 AM). Free wi-fi, and lots of TV channels to watch the Olympics. Great place!
