Definitely budget, but clean

Obviously a budget motel. Parking easy and free. Decent padding on mattress, and sheets were clean. Towels plentiful. Quite an old property, no surprise. This is a double property operating as Howard Johnson and Travelidge, all one building, one office (other closed). The windows are very thin, so noisy. Non-smoking room still smelled of smoke, like from other rooms or something—there but not all in the room. The breakfast was little bites muffins, granola bars, hostess mini danishes, just store bought, but it’s something to go. Felt fine for the price. Bring earplugs if traffic noise is a problem. Friendly staff, and seemed helpful.

It’s the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Wyndham should really look into this hotel. It was rundown and dirty, location feels unsafe with rundown buildings. Breakfast awful, only breakfast bars and coffee/fountain juice. On top pf this, i paid a premium price of $184.00. I would not choose these hotels again.

The employee that was working the night I checked in was so rude and unprofessional. There was no greeting he barely spoke to me and when he did he was mumbling and I couldn’t understand him. He was not helpful regarding parking either. The hotel is in a terrible area and I felt super unsafe leaving my car far away so I ended up just leaving. And they won’t give me a refund.
