Wingate By Wyndham

Easy
and
peaceful
We usually don’t require much in a hotel, just a clean room, functioning bathroom and perhaps a bit of peace and quiet. We found everything we need at Wingate.
The parking lot was huge so it was easy to find a spot and check in completely painless. We got into our room and everything was clean, working and just fine. Perhaps it was the time of year, but the hotel was very quite and we had no difficulty sleeping.
In the morning the complimentary breakfast was adequate. Certainly nothing special or unique but it served it’s purpose. In fact everything about our stay at Wingate was forgettable, which when traveling and staying in a place for the first time is usually what we want.
Wingate is a basic, inexpensive and adequate hotel that allows you to relax and get some rest. They have a small exercise room but who cares. It was clean, quiet and convenient and that was exactly what we wanted.

Normally stay at the Wyndham down the street but wanted to try something else what a mistake next time I sleep in my car. 2 lights in the room don’t work. The bed is old and lumpy. There is a ice bucket just can’t find the ice machine must be on another floor.

WORST STAY EVER. where’s the negative 5 star?! We stayed with our 2 toddler kids and I was so glad to checkout after 3 night stay.
1) Moist carpet in the room
2) Terrible maid service– forgot to put towels in our room. We came back late from an event, and asked for towels around 10pm. They said its on the way; woke up in the morning and got the same reply over the phone. After 2 hours walked to front desk and she said the towels are in the drier. After another hour, caught maid service in the hall way and she said the towels are «scarce» and they don’t have any (with an attitude). WT. isnt this a hotel? If they had no intention of giving a towel they could have been honest. I would have went to Walmart and got some! Precisely at 10.30am lady knocked on our door and reminded us our check out is at 11. I told her about the towel situation, all 4 of us need to take a shower and has a flight to catch. She basically told me its none of her problem and we need to checkout at or before 11. All the staff here need to learn how to gracefully and efficiently work in the service industry. Don’t act like you are doing me a favor by doing what you are paid to do.
3) Blocked shower– notified them several times regarding this. Finally came to fix it after 2 days. Till then we took a shower in a tub filled with ¾ th water.disgusting. I had to hold my 2yr old on my lap and bathe him.

After reading about roaches and outdated amenities, I promptly canceled my Hilton Atlanta booking and got a room at the Wingate by Wyndham instead, which reviewed more favorably on Unilocal and Tripadvisor.
So how’d it go? Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the Wingate. We enjoyed the clean and spacious room that we got. These rooms don’t seem particularly modern or super new either, but the cleaning staff did a good job of making the room smell and look as spanking new as possible.
Our bed was comfy, and I liked the fluffy but shorter, more squarish pillows that they provide.
Toiletries included are made by Mineral Fusion, a paraben-​free brand found at stores like Whole Foods. Plastic shower cap and paper cups for rinsing your mouth/​holding your toothbrush are also provided.
This hotel offers free wifi everywhere in the hotel for guests, but we found the connection to be rather weak. Walls are also rather thin, and we could hear guests as they filed past our room in the morning. Unnerving and inappropriate noises coming from a hotel room could also be heard from the elevator. Poor housekeeping staff had to come see what that was all about. I don’t envy them.
Wingate seems very family-​friendly, and there were many parents and their kids staying this past weekend. One benefit of better insulated walls would be having less of a chance that kids would be exposed to the inappropriate noises referenced earlier.
Hotel guests can also enjoy their hot breakfast, pool, and gym. Parking spaces are aplenty. Front-​desk staff seem nice.
Not the best hotel in this price range that I’ve ever tried, but certainly not the worst either.
A decent, budget-​friendly stay that’s close to many area shopping and dining. Good for business travelers, families (with the fix I suggested), and couples. Don’t expect anything fancy and you’ll be okay.

After returning to the area i realize that this is not the hotel, rather i was attempting to review the windham gardens on day drive. Sorry about the confusion, but who pits a wyndham gardens and wingate literally across the street from eachother?

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in, we had a three night booked and my first impression was the horrible smell of gasoline and a strong paint aroma in the lobby throughout the hallways to our room. When we checked in our room the pillows had stains the whole room smelled like mildew and just horrid. The bathroom door was visibly broken on the inside. We couldn’t stand it any longer that we decided to check out the same day even though it was suppose to be three nights and on top of that the front desk were never up front always in the back and had to ring the bell to have them come up front. So we had to pay $ 84.99 but I rather that than to suffer another minute there.

I’ve stayed at the Wingate on Venture multiple times during the last year. I travel to Duluth on business, and make it a point to stay at this hotel because it’s close to my office, service is impeccable, and the rooms are clean, comfortable and have everything I need. Rooms are generally in the $ 80 range per night, but I have seen specials periodically that take them down to $ 69 or so.
Staff is great, they are always warm and welcoming. I have seen them go out of their way for other guests, so I know it’s not just because I’m there all the time!
Breakfast in the morning is fine for a grab and go, yogurt, fresh fruit, waffles, cereal, toast, eggs, sausage and biscuits and gravy as well as assorted juices, milk and coffee.
I have always gotten a king bed room. The bed is clean and comfortable, pillows and bedding are nice quality. I request the version of the king bed room that has a comfortable chair with an ottoman, but you can get a small couch that pulls out into an additional bed in the room instead. Fridge and microwave make the room perfect for a longer term traveler (I usually stay 3 – 4 days during the week).
Bathroom is spacious and clean, with plenty of counter space and clean fluffy towels.
Free wi-​fi that you just connect to, no need for a password. Other than breakfast, there are only vending machines, but there are a few restaurants in the near vicinity, and a Publix grocery store down the street as well.
Overall, this Wingate is my go-​to hotel when I am in Duluth.

After staying at so many low-​end motels on our trip, this hotel was a welcomed relief. Comfy beds! Comfy pillows! A nice bathroom! It had it all. I didn’t do anything other than sleep here for one night, so I can’t comment much on the staff or at all on the pool and other things. But it was a great hotel room.

4.5 out of five stars.
Tried this hotel because the rates went up significantly at the place we usually stay for Petit Le Mans. Overall thought it was a great value for the money – room was comfortable & clean, bed and pillows were great. Front desk was friendly and efficient.
Only a couple of minor quibbles: the keycard reader on door nearest the parking lot broke on our last day there, so we always had to hike around to the front door. The (small) pool was also closed two of the three days we were there (not that we had time to use it, anyway). And, the one time we were going to take advantage of their free breakfast, they were out of english muffins so I couldn’t make my mock Sausage McMuffin w/​egg. Doh!
Nonetheless for the price we were very happy.

Avoid this place at all costs. I had hundreds of dollars of electronics stolen from my room (probably by the housekeeping staff), and nobody from the front desk staff to corporate would do anything about it. The manager wouldn’t even return my calls until I got in touch with corporate, and even then, all he told me was the the security tapes showed nothing and that there was nothing he could do. There’s no security tapes in guest rooms anyways!
Avoid this place, or at least don’t leave *anything* in your room whatsoever when you step out.
