Wingate by Wyndham Mansfield Oh

As we traveled home from a vacation in Massachusetts, we decided to stop at the Wingate in Mansfield, OH. I'm not sure how to classify our stay. In some respects, it was a good stay. In others, it was not a good stay. When we drove up, I had a sinking feeling when I saw that the sign on the building seemed to be hung over a sign for a different hotel brand. We've had too many experiences with booking hotels based on trusted hotel brands but discovering that the hotels had been sold to independents who provide sub-par accommodations and guest services. That bad feeling wasn't helped as we walked into the hotel lobby that was clearly under construction. The staircase was sealed off by caution tape, and the breakfast area room to the side featured 1970s decor that clearly wasn't under renovation. But, something happened next that was reassuring. The woman behind the check-in counter was warm and welcoming. She explained that Wingate had purchased this hotel from Country Inn & Suites and that the hotel was under renovation. She was very reassuring that the rooms (at least many of them) had been renovation and that we'd be happy with our stay. Our entire price for one night that included all taxes and fees was less than $130, so Wingate was discounting for the less-than-stellar condition of the overall hotel. As far as the rooms, I'm not so sure renovations are complete. Actually, I hope they are not. The flooring is not carpet; it's linoleum. The bed was an IKEA type of metal bed frame. The furniture really looked cheap. The mattress was okay but not nearly as comfortable as we expected from a Wingate. The pillows were not okay. If bedding was new, I would not have expected the lumpy pillows provided. Most importantly, the bedding was merely a flat sheet, a top sheet, and then a "bedspread" that had the feel of another sheet -- super thin. There was no blanket. Also, AC was an issue. We entered the room that had no AC on. It was warm and muggy. We turned on the AC full blast and went to dinner. When we returned about an hour later, the room was cooler but definitely not cool. Basically, the room was fairly warm all night long. We were hoping breakfast would be better. Basically, everything was basic. The warm foods didn't look very appetizing. When I opted for cereal, the twist mechanism to turn to get cereal out of the dispenser didn't work. I ended up taking the dispenser off the stand, removing the lid, and pouring cereal form there. Toast seemed like a safe bet until I saw the sign on the toaster that indicated users had to hold down the lever to toast the bread. And, the orange juice tasted like soap. We ended up leaving and going through a drive-thru for breakfast. On the good side, Wingate did adjust the price of the room even without us asking for that. The location was great long I90, and a Taco Bell and Panera were within walking distance. Overall, I think the Wingate should not be open yet. I'm sure the stairs being shut down can

Amazing stay. This place in Mansfield Ohio is a gem! The front deck people are very friendly in helping you check in down to where the places are to dine! The king suite we were in was beautiful. Big, clean, and comfortable, from the couch in the sitting room to our huge bed. One of the nicest places we've stayed in on our travels across the states. As Canadians, id like to thank our brothers and sisters south of the border for a great time. We'll be coming back next season and for more than one night..

Staff were all very helpful and kind. Rooms have been redone. They were quite nice. Would have enjoyed using hot tub or weight room, but unavailable now with renos.

Staff members were friendly, room was very clean and newly renovated, good breakfasts

Room floor was dirty and could not lock the dead bolt on the door. Mentioned to staff and sounds like it has been that way for awhile. Disappointed especially when found out facility was recently renovated.

Very nice property reasonably priced, pet friendly
