It's under renovations. The entire place smelled like mold or beer. Trash and construction debris everywhere. The worst thing was that ALL of the signs are for Norwood Inn and Suites. Nothing outside of the building says Howard Johnson's or Wyndham. The parking lot was a bit sketchy too. The only good point was that the bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean.

Blood stains on sheets, dead bugs on floor, no towels and no toilet paper. Immediately gave them back the key and they still refused to provide a refund. Pictures on website are a scam this place doesn't look like this. Stay Away!

The hotel is being converted from a run down motel and the only thing done is carpet and some furniture. Room did not have towels, remote or phone and bathroom was dirty. Requested items 2 times but never go them. the whole motel is dirty because it is under construction, also no amenities. Wait at least 3 months before you stay here.
