Wingate by Wyndham Newell

I want to be fair in this review but we had a difficult multi-night stay. Here are the highlights. 1. We had a reservation for 2 rooms but when we arrived were told that they were on different floors. We had requested them to be close due to elderly group member that needed assistance. Initially told not an option, but a kind desk clerk finally helped us work it out. 2. Upon arriving at said rooms on 3rd floor, one smelled completely of smoke and was rough. Was told nothing to be done tonight but could fix tomorrow. They did move us in the morning next door. 3. The new room we went to was fine but was a definitely on the dirty side. 4. Upon arriving back at our hotel the final night of our stay, we found a flyer under our door telling us that the power would be OUT starting at 7 am until at least noon the next day. If we needed to use the elevator, power in the room, or have breakfast in lobby, all had to happen before 7 am. I discussed with the front desk clerk on duty and was told "I can't really do much about it. It's not really our problem since it is the power company". I get that this is out of their hands to some degree, but it is wrong to tell people so close to the time of outage. They did release us from final night of reservation and we moved to the Best Western in Steubenville which was immaculate and much nicer. Bottom line - stayed here many times over the years. It is not as nice or clean as previous trips. Almost all the front desk staff was A+.

It smells very musty and like pet ruin in the room. I was changed immediately. However it has gone down since last year. The food was very tuff hard and was sitting out for hours no pancakes no waffles just very hard sausage fried hard eggs and half done potato cubes … The staff is so friendly and great ! You can tell it was just let go

Hallways and elevator were very dirty.

Staff and breakfast is always the best

Everything at this hotel needs a good scrub. The rooms all have an odor to them and the carpet could all use a good shampoo.

We were in the area for a celebration of life and this was the most convenient lodging for us. On the plus side the front desk staff was very nice and was able to extend our checkout time by an hour, a big help since we had a late flight out of Pittsburgh. Complimentary breakfast was okay, though we chose to go to a small family restaurant in town, Connie’s Corner, for breakfast the second morning; good food and service, very reasonable prices, small surcharge to use a credit card. On the downside, the common areas of the hotel were dingy and run down, stains on the carpets, etc; and our room was not serviced after our first night, even though we were out of thy e room between 10 AM and 4 PM. Not a huge deal for us since we were only there one more night but disappointing all the same.

I stayed at this hotel in the past and I liked the staff,the atmosphere and the comfort and cleanliness of the hotel,I'll be back again.

Check in was easy, however we repeatedly had issues with our keycards not working properly. Knowing we were staying 2 nights, we opted to get the keys reprogrammed or obtained two new keys (I don’t recall what was decided). They worked much better afterwards. The water pressure in the shower was the best I’ve seen. Unfortunately, the drain could not keep up with the water output so I was always standing in the dirty water while showering. The room and bed were very comfortable. Breakfast was tasty. Wife used and liked the gym. I would stay here again.

Property was clean, breakfast was good and staff were courteous. Room smelled like mildew because of poor ventilation in the bathroom.
