Days Inn by Wyndham Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda
The pool was too cold to use still. The rooms could have been much cleaner. Use of bleach around the bathroom floors, tub and sink would help. The carpets would benefit greatly from shampooing.

Baymont by Wyndham Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte
Building is old and needs to be remodeled. No elevator to the second floor and no electrical plug on one side of the bed for my cpap. That was a big problem. TV remote worked only part of the time. Bed and pillows were good as was the shower, but was really old looking.

The room was very nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is nice, but the outside is dark and unkept when driving to it from the main road.
