Already booked thru Priceline - Wyndham - Terrible reviews

So here I am....booking for the first time through Priceline.com and received a great price for the Wyndham, near Oakland. I was excited until read the reviews on the Wyndham and now I%26#39;m second-guessing my decision to bid lower and not downtown.

We%26#39;re in town for four days - six of us, including children - and I guess I%26#39;m thinking we should be sure to stay busy and only sleep in the hotel.

Did I have a question, you might be wondering. (?) I guess I just wanted some sympathy and someone to ease my mind (and stomach) about my decision. :-)

I stayed in the Wyndham a couple times in 2006 when I visited the area. It seemed fine to me. Staff was friendly and the rooms were fine.

The Oakland area isn%26#39;t too aesthetically pleasing, but its safe and there is a lot going on in that neighborhood as its basically the campus for the U. of Pittsburgh.

My daughter attends PITT and we have stayed at the Wyndham a few times, and we never had any problems. The staff is nice and they offer a shuttle that will take you around Pittsburgh. It is a typical motel/small hotel. The area isn%26#39;t great but my daughter lives a few blocks away and has never had any problem. We stay there every time we visit my daughter. We have tried a few other hotels, and as they are all around the same this, is the most convenient one. You will be fine there.

I think you%26#39;ll be surprised - the Wyndham is relatively new and the public areas are very nice. A friend from LA stayed here for a Steelers game last year and was pleased. Oakland is a college town with a huge employer (hospital system) based here, so you%26#39;ll see a lot of people. You%26#39;ll be safe in that area. Downtown is the business area, so it%26#39;s busy M-F, but not exciting on the weekend. For kids, Oakland is great for walking to the Carnegie Museum (depending on when you come, the acclaimed Carnegie Internationale might still be going on) -definitely check out the re-opened Dinosaur area. Otherwise, you%26#39;ll need a car (and Oakland parking will be slightly cheaper than Downtown!).
