Top Kanawha City Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Cross Lanes Charleston

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the location because we were going to the casino. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The lady in the breakfast area was so nice - very friendly and accommodating. They were out of sausage links when we got there. She said a bunch of kids had come in and piled their plates with the sausage and didn't eat all they had taken and the rest were just thrown away. She had no control over that. She said she could cook us some more, but it was close to stop time for breakfast and we said no, that was fine and she didn't need to do that. The room was really nice and spacious. I noticed a couple hidden places on lamps that didn't quite get dusted but that wasn't that big of a deal. Other than that, the room was very clean. Appreciated the laundry facilities also as we had to use them. Overall, a great stay at a very nice hotel."
