Wingate By Wyndham

This hotel is now the Four Points by Sheraton Cincinnati North.

Absolutely improved from before — staff is unified!
Housekeeping is the best!
Even the banquet/​catering servers were outstanding!

We got a ‘2’ room suite which is actually a random room with a couch that you walk through to the bathroom on the way to your bedroom. Don’t pay the extra fee for this slight boondoggle. Just get a room. The lobby has loud techno music going and the carpet is pulling away with the tape showing. But it feels hip and happening — I guess I am not though.

Nice hotel. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Kind of off the beaten path by itself, but very nice hotel. I had the pleasure of staying in one of their lofts. Comfy!!! Clean and very quiet too. Definitely recommend to anyone!

Had never stayed at a Wingate, and I am a little skeptical of «second tier» versions of large hotels in general. However, decided to take a chance on a Hotwire deal. I was pleasantly surprised. Check-​in was easy, rooms were spacious, and the continental breakfast was good.

I am a frequent traveler and have stayed at hotels/​motels of many different tiers, from Super 8 to Ritz Carlton. While Wingate by Wyndham at West Chester is stated as a 3 or 3.5 star, my stay can be rated far above their rating reflects.
Location
This hotel is located just about a mile off of I-​75, but far away enough to not hear any highway noises. The street on which it is located has a side entrance to a nearby Meijer’s parking lot for convenient purchases of any food or other products, as well as gas. Also located nearby is a great Middle Eastern food market called «Halal Market». Being so near a major highway exit, there are plenty of chain restaurants as well.
Amenities/​Atmosphere
–The bed is super comfortable, arguably some of the best sleep I got away from home.
–Free WiFi is very fast and only occasionally dropped signals.
–Not sure if it is standard, but my room had a jacuzzi.
–Free local HD TV programs.
–Indoor pool with heated hot tub.
–Small gym, although I was informed that guests have free access to an offsite dedicated fitness center.
–Free hot breakfast in the morning consisted of make-​your-​own waffles, eggs, sausage, and bacon, biscuits and gravy, assortment of pastries and fresh fruits (bananas, apples, and oranges).
–In-​room microwave and fridge (no freezer).
–Usual assortment of bathroom amenities as well as single-​cup coffee maker.
The only downsides that I can think of are: limited parking space out front, with back entrance locked. For my particular duration of stay, there was a local soccer tournament so the hallway was flooded with hyperactive kids. The door slams shut very loudly. Also, try to stay on the 3^rd floor, because the floor boards are rather thin (as are the walls). Thankfully my neighbors were not loud, but noise can be a potential problem.
Service
My check-​in was very fast, with warm greetings from the day manager Curtis. My room was cleaned by the housekeeping staff with minimal fuss. Shower gels and such were replenished on a daily basis. The hotel restaurant (M Bistro) is only open for regular service at night. There’s a decent selection of alcohol.
Overall, I will definitely be looking to stay at Wingate again in a future trip.

Everything about our visit went well. Reservations were easy, check-​in was fast and friendly, check-​out consisted of dropping off the ‘keys.’
The room was very nicely furnished, and the bed was comfy. Place was super clean. Shower had two nozzles, different massaging types, which made for some fun. The pool was small but nice. Only flaw was the jets in the hot tub wouldn’t come on.
Free breakfast buffet, etc., rounded out the plusses.

We met here for a convention. The room was a good size with round tables, good sound system and screen.
The coffee was Douwe Egbert which is one of my favorites. The food at lunch was really good. The servers did a great job.
The art displayed was nice and the women’s room was very nice.

I stayed at the Wingate last weekend (4÷29−4÷30) and while the room was lovely and spacious, there were mouth and lip prints all over the window which I saw when I was closing the curtains. Yuck.
The next morning I stepped into the shower and pulled the curtain closed and saw nearly half of the rings unhooked and the liner not attached. I took the time to re-​attach the liner then close the hooks and went on with my shower. When I got out and reached for a towel on a shelf over the toilet, I noticed peeling paint in the corner on the ceiling and in another area of the bathroom.
For the price we paid, I would expect the room to be thoroughly cleaned and in better repair.
UPDATE 6÷6÷2011
I also left a comment about our experience at the Wingate on their company website and I received a response saying my comment was going to be directed to the GM of the location we used. I never heard from the GM but a few weeks later I did get another email from corporate saying they hoped I would try them again and were sending me a check for $ 30.00. I got the check last Friday.
