Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham
80° every day in the pool is closed. That should’ve been stated someplace when they emailed us to confirm the reservation, but it wasn’t something should definitely be worked on. Otherwise, our restaurants everything else in the hotel was fantastic even the location.

Lovely modern hotel. Fantastic staff. The hotel lobby, elevator, and room was a little hot and stuffy for me. No fan in bathroom.
