Wingate by Wyndham Owensboro

Best place in Owensboro to stay for the money

When i arrived in Owensboro, i came to find hotel prices were sky high all over town due to sporting events, summer hi season rates, among other reasons... So, when i saw the Wingate nightly rates were lower than most, i didn't have high expectations. Well, for the most part, i was wrong. I saw some negative reviews, but my king room was newly remodeled, with plenty of charging ports. And unlike most hotel rooms, the window had actual room darkening blinds, so almost no morning sunlight got into my northeast-facing room.... It had a fridge and microwave, and i have to say, the freezer section did its job better than most mini fridges i've come across.... The front desk staff were friendly. Breakfast was average....it had all the basics and some hot items like eggs, biscuits & gravy, sausage etc, but the juice machine was malfunctioning and was dispensing lukewarm juice, plus they were out of apple juice... Also, the seating area was too small, especially when there's a big push of people arriving... Nevertheless, the lady tending the breakfast worked hard to tidy the room and keep things stocked. In addition to the indoor pool, there was a hot tub....a relatively rare sight at this level of lodging. Also, the pool towels were real towels....big and plush, unlike the chintzy towels you often see. There was a fenced-in outdoor patio area with tables, umbrellas, chairs and lounge chairs....the caveat is they looked like they haven't been cleaned since last year....bird poop on the chairs, dried food and general grime on everything. If management is reading this review, you got a good thing going outside... At the very least, get the maintenance guy to hose down the furniture a coupla times a week.... And also the hotel windows...mine was filthy with bird poop. In conclusion, despite my complaints, the Wingate in Owensboro exceeded my expectations. The good outweighed the bad, thus i can recommend staying here.

Hotel was close to convenience store/gas station. Easy access from highway. Our room was older but the hotel is being renovated. Did have an indoor pool and hot tub.

I never got my 50 dollars deposit back

The breakfast was very good but dining area was a bit cramped. Biscuits and gravy lady was nice and gravy was delicious.

they need to update vending machines...they don't take cards and the one on my floor didn't work at all. outlet by tv was way overloaded and two plugs didn't work...toilet was too small. for some reason the night desk clerk thinks it's a good idea to talk politics with guests and the other younger lady was hanging by the front door with her boyfriend...not a good look.
