Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Kansas City

2/10 Terrible

"The first thing you notice is the trash, everywhere in the parking lot. Upon check in, the first thing I noticed was the paint chips on the floor. There was a sizable water stain on the ceiling that it had fallen from. The vents in the bathroom hadn’t been dusted in quite a while, just a guess. The baseboard in one corner was completely rotted. If my wife and I hadn’t been exhausted from traveling we would have checked out immediately and demanded a refund. Needless to say, we won’t be back."

Baymont by Wyndham Liberty MO

2/10 Terrible

"The room was absolutely horrible. Dirty floors, didn't look vacuumed. Bathtub and toilet had hair on them. One bed had a stained cover. The air conditioner did not work very well. The room was very humid. The room looked nothing like the pictures. We left 30 minutes after checking in. I went to the desk to talk to the person that checked us in. He was gone. Left a note that he would be back later. Just awful"
