Super 8 by Wyndham Front Royal

I had a group reservation for 12 rooms on 10/10/25 for 24 members of a bicycling club, confirmed via email on 4/28/25 by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, at the Super 8 by Wyndham Front Royal. I also called the hotel directly on 9/26/25 to confirm the reservation. When we arrived at approx. 2:30pm on the 10th, the front desk person told us that there was no record of my group reservation (which we later found out to be untrue) and that he had only 4 rooms available!!! When we asked to speak to the manager, he told us the manager was out of town and not reachable (which we also found out later to be untrue) and that he was the most senior staff member at the hotel. He told us there was nothing he could do except book us into the 4 vacant rooms he had, and he was unwilling to help us find accommodations for the rest of our group. We began calling all the hotels in Front Royal and eventually patched together enough rooms at 5 different hotels to house everyone in the group. The lack of available hotel rooms was likely due to Front Royal’s popular Festival of Leaves which was happening then. We were eventually able to find accommodations for all our group but at considerably greater expense than the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts contracted amount. Our group reservation rate was approx. $100/room but the rate if booked that day (10/10) was twice that amount, probably due to the popular festival. BOTTOM LINE: If you reserve rooms at the Hotel 8 by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, do not be surprised if they’ve given them to others who arrived before you who are willing to pay a higher rate.

Very pleased with the cleanliness from the lobby to our room. Bathroom exceptionally clean two double beds, crisp, white sheets. Breakfast was adequate with a variety, but would have enjoyed a little breakfast sausage. Staff friendly. Definitely would stay here again.

Upon entering the lobby the smell of cigarette smoke and stale beer were overwhelming, in hopes that the room would be better I check in but then told the staff I couldn't stay due to the overwhelming smell in the building/room.

This Super 8 was a disappointment. The building was kind of run down, and it's location is far from the interstate. The place looked like they dont have much business, yet they could not let me in my room when i arrived at 1 pm. Most hotels will be more flexible. Then, the final negative thing was being awoke at 8 am with a text message and an email asking me to check out, and when would I be leaving the room. That was totally rude. I almost never give a negative review, but sadly this time i need to do that.
