The TV did not work, the shower did not work, the internet too slow to be useful at all, the sheets were ratty and the walls dirty. The only good part was the staff. Everyone I met who worked there was VERY nice, helpful and personable.

Expedia, shame on you for not showing the actual picture of the property on your listing. Very deceptive. This is an old motel that has not had updates in a long time. The room smelled, the furniture is beat up, there were cigarette burns in the bedspread, and what I thought were ants were actually baby cockroaches. It was fairly clean and the water pressure was good. The bed was comfortable, but there was just a top sheet and a thin coverlet(with lots of holes), but no blanket or comforter. There were some folks just hanging around outside and music was playing late into the night. I think people may live at this place. It was fairly convenient to Duke. The 3 staff members I interacted with were extremely friendly. Wyndam needs to do a full gut job on this property.

We had stayed in this hotel only a few months ago and was shocked that it had deteriorated so much. There were cobwebs in corners and under the window. The floor was sticky and the room smelled bad. There were also roaches. However, the staff was friendly.

The bed, pillows were great. The shower was nice, good water pressure, clean curtain. It was warm. It was quite after 11 pm. Convenient. Yet, The place was really unclean. The Rugs hadn’t been vacuumed, microwave dirty, refrigerator dirty, the sink dirty, mirror dirty, coffee maker broke, bathtub just old I guess, had stains. Commode was nice. Cigarette burns on bed cover. Saw one roach. I think that they forgot to clean it. My stay before this one was more pleasant.

The only downfall was that they didn’t have water, pop and snack machines. I flew in and was without a car. The closet store I could find was a Walgreens to get water and diet drinks, snacks. The Uber ride was expensive at that time. Note: there is a little store, I think Korean that has some things. If you can have sugar, I can’t. Everything else was great. Clean, microwave, frig, nice flat screen tv, great fan bathroom, nice shower, nice floors, clean sheets, and the manager and staff were friendly, helpful, awesome. Ice machine, coffee and coffee maker in room. They let me check out an hour late due to a doctors appointment and check in an hour early. I felt safe there, no parties or loud noise. I would highly recommend, especially for 1-3 day stay.

Health Hazard!

My experience at Wyndham Durham Super 8 motel was honest to God the worse experience I ever had traveling in my life! That building all jokes aside needs to be condemned at the very least! The amount of roaches were beyond counting that I left all the lights on throughout the night! Wyndham should be ashamed to have their name associated with this motel. The same should go with Hotels.com You should not have this motel as a option! It is not a good look for your organization. Everything I read on the reviews were totally true! Filthy and disturbing! I wish I had checked the reviews before picking this health hazard of motel.
