Baymont by Wyndham Beloit

Needs some TLC. Price matches what I needed.

they had a problem with employees not showing up so we got there at 10 pm and didn't get a room until 10:30. the sheets looked like they hadn't been washed from the last visitors.

Room was not cleaned after previous guests checked out. Neither bed had been made up, there were towels on the floor in the bathroom, and waste baskets were full. Night manager was responsive. She asked me to wait in the lobby while they changed linens on one of the beds and provided fresh towels. It took about 15 minutes. Remainder of the stay was uneventful. This is my least favorite motel in Beloit. I only stayed here because all of the others had no vacancies.

The room had a bad odor, the breakfast was extremely poor with not much of a selection. Vending had no sugar free option except water. Rooms were so dated that instead of usb charging ports there was a high speed internet wire connection. No password necessary for the wifi made me wonder at the safety of connecting so I didn’t.

Location can present as a little questionable or off-putting based on the parking lot maintenance (potholes) and people that are randomly standing outside talking or smoking. Staff, particularly Miss Wanda, was more than pleasant and engaging. Very courteous and her (customer) service would be the saving grace of the entire experience. The room was decent at first glance. Yet, after settling in later in the evening there were details that spoke to some questions of long-term maintenance. The bathroom (tub) was pretty clean. Yet, when actually paying attention to the shower head, it was full of lime scale. That was very off-putting and since it was an overnight stay, I decided not to wash up until my next destination. One other thing that I took notice of was the chair foot stool combination was very dingy, if not dirty. So that was not used in too much capacity for what it was intended. Otherwise, the bed and bedding was comfortable and the TV and other amenities were operable and useful (refrigerator/microwave/air conditioning) Breakfast was solid. Standard selection. Waffle, eggs, juice, coffee, cereal, muffins, bread, and bagels. Overall, a decent stay for a one night layover. If I came back, it would just simply be for the pleasantry of Miss Wanda.
