Baymont by Wyndham Santee

Baymont by Wyndham Santee

8/10 Good
"The property was maintained pretty well, but there is no pool (filled in), the beverage machine was busted up and not working. For me personally, the bed was not comfortable, with little half pillows. The sheets pulled off every time you rolled over. But over all, the property looks like it was recently remodeled, the desk person was very friendly and accommodating. It was well lighted all around. And quiet. A good place to over night if you have a pet."
