Wyndham Garden Dover

Great location’ rooms should be updated for the price I paid , walls are very thin kept hearing doors slamming all night was hard to sleep. Front desk guy was rude he was on the phone with his friend my whole check in , he didn’t even talk just checked me in and gave me my key . Didn’t say where the elevator was or anything.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience a hotel run by three exhausted employees, two missing staff members, and a hallway that smells like a dispensary at midnight, congratulations — you’ve found the place. The general manager deserves a trophy for crisis management, but honestly, he shouldn’t have to spend his entire day putting out fires that shouldn’t exist in the first place. Aromatherapy, Unrequested Why buy weed when you can simply walk the halls at night and get high by breathing. It’s included in the room rate. Side Doors: Decorative Only About 80% of the time, the side entrances don’t open with your room key. So enjoy your scenic thousand‑foot hike around the building to reach your room. Great if you’re training for a marathon, less great if you’re carrying groceries. Breakfast: A Comedy of Errors Breakfast is “available” from 7:30 to 10:00, but don’t bother showing up before 8:00 unless you enjoy watching the night clerk set it up in slow motion. Scrambled eggs (from powder), lukewarm at best. Bacon? Sometimes. Sausage? Sometimes. Pancakes and waffles? Only if someone’s in the mood. Toast? Sure — if you enjoy using a toaster that only worked on one side for weeks, then died, and took five days to replace. Ice Machine: A Puzzle Game There is exactly ONE ice machine in the entire hotel, and the staff doesn’t know how to operate it. You’ll be directed to the bar for ice like you’re asking for something illegal. There’s even a QR code with instructions, but apparently reading is an optional skill here. Ownership: A Masterclass in Penny‑Pinching I watched the GM walk the owner through the building, pointing out everything that needed fixing. The owner opened his wallet and a moth flew out. That told me everything I needed to know. Lower Your Expectations and You Might Survive You could be happy here — if you lower your expectations to absolute zero. The Final Straw As I went to renew for another 10 days, they raised the rate by 40% because it’s “the season.” What season? The snow hadn’t even finished melting. When I asked if the price increase meant they’d fix the doors, the breakfast, the ice machine, or literally anything, the manager got offended and started yelling. A bold strategy for someone overseeing a hotel held together by duct tape and denial. So I packed up and moved to the Red Roof Inn across the street — next to a 7‑Eleven, across from the racetrack, and right by a weed dispensary. At least there, you don’t have to walk the halls to get high.

This hotel is beautiful, the staff is friendly, the place is clean the food is great. I've had a wonderful stay and will come back again, I recommend Wyndham Hotel to anyone traveling.
