Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Colorado City/I-20

The biggest problem was the noise. From the south side of the hotel, you hear, without exaggeration, 200 semi rigs going by at 75 mph. If you can sleep through jet engines on a plane, maybe it won’t bother you. There’s also noise inside, with workers coming in at 2 AM, talking and watching TV until 3, then a piercing chime calling them out to their trucks for the oil fields. The rooms are mini apartments, so there’s no food or daily room service. Westbrook, about 10 miles west, has a diner for breakfast and lunch. The room works for what it was designed for, but this really isn’t a traveler hotel, it’s set up for oil field workers. We couldn’t get into our usual hotel and figured a Wyndham property would be nice. We won’t stay here again. The rating choices didn’t include “None of the Above.”

The room is cozy, and having a big fridge is helpful. The hot top for cooking is a nice addition, too. The guy at the desk is very helpful and talks with the staff if you need extra towels or clean sheets during a longer stay.

Affordable, clean, and the staff are really friendly. They’ve been great about working around my work schedule, and the housekeeping amenities work great. I’ve got nothing but good things to say and highly recommend this place.

The room wasn’t ready when I arrived. The previous guest’s bed hadn’t been made or cleaned, and there was rotting lettuce in the fridge.
