The Wyndham Garden Hotel Times Square South is no longer. A tipster let us know that the hotel on West 36th Street will turn into a DoubleTree Hotel on February 6.

Wyndham has already pulled the hotel off its website and we presume it's undergoing some slight updating to get ready for the DoubleTree takeover.

But the loss is really no big deal to Wyndham considering that they have another Wyndham Garden hotel just 12 blocks south in Chelsea on 24th Street. We guess the upcoming Tryp by Wyndham Hotel in Times Square, just one block over, will be re-routing guests to this property from now on.

However, we will mourn the loss of the hotel's free WiFi as DoubleTree will be charging $9.99 a day. Not sure a DoubleTree cookie will make up for that. Ok, it helps a little.

Wyndham

It appears that several Wyndham hotels get converted to other brands. Does anyone know why this happens so often to Wyndham's? Even the Wyndham Fashion District hotel in NYC is now a Hilton Hotel.

Inconsistency

I believe inconsistent products and standards would be the answer. Ever since Wyndham and Cendant merged, Wyndham hasn't been the same and has been developing a poor reputation vs. the previous stellar rep. A lot of owners are ditching the brand for that reason. Let's face it...your upscale following doesn't want a brand that is associated with Super 8, HoJo, Days Inn, and Knights Inn.

Thanks

Good answer. I had forgotten that Wyndham was associated with those brands.
