[Callalily]

It's a good idea to read reviews, but ultimately, you make an informed decision.

1. I used to stay in some relatively inexpensive hotels/motels that were reliably a pretty

good value. But over the last few years they have been taken over by the Wyndham chain.
I have stayed at a couple of their Wingate hotels that were pretty good but I
totally avoid anything else they manage. I have enough points from another hotel chain they
took over to get a couple free nights but I wouldn't stay there for free now. As far as consumer reviews
they are practically worthless unless they are almost all good or all bad. There will be several reviews saying
how great a place is then others that complain about everything. I have seen hotels go from good to
absolute roach traps in a years' time.
