The first impression of the property was that they were unwillingly to accommodate a request for late check out after I was given the option to select this as an add-on. However they did allow one extra hour. Second impression was that the room had an odor as if it was a smoking room. Next was the excessive noise directly outside of our room while we were sleeping. Next was that housekeeping entered the room while we were still getting ready to leave without waiting for us to open the door after the agreed upon extra hour. Lastly, I brought it to their attention the possibility of bed bugs being on one of the beds and took pictures. I was offered a partial refund because I “didn’t address my concerns immediately.” Which is a total lie because I addressed every concern as they came up and was told management would contact me to reach a further resolution such as a full refund. I was never contacted. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to stay.

Worst place we have ever stayed

We felt that the pictures and description on the website were totally deceptive. It was dirty and there were people dealing drugs right outside our room. They were fighting and we felt unsafe. We decided to leave the hotel, even though we had already paid for 3 more nights. I am very unhappy that I was not able to cancel my reservation based on these circumstances.

Not a bad place for a lower budget

The room was clean although you could tell it has some damage I assume from being exposed to elements. The water pressure in the shower was awful and the bed pillows definitely recommend bringing your own. Otherwise for the price it was good great location service was good.

Won't be back

It was pretty much terrible, the guy at the front desk was rude, but that whatever. It was a motel, but bad. The cinder block walls make it feel like a prison, the shower was plumbed backwards so hot was cold and cold was hot, the tv however does work so long as you want to watch syfy channel because thats all you get, the pillows were paper and the bed was a rock. It pretty much sucked completely.

Terrible stay

This place is full of disappointments, they ran out of toilet paper for the rooms, all of the bedding looked really faded and old. The breakfast is a joke but mostly they are just rude hotel owners, for the price I could have found something else that was a two star and received more respect and better service.

As a senior citizen, I grew up hearing the name Howard Johnson and it's reputation for quality. I, unfortunately didn't find this to be true. The beds were comfy and the room was clean, but practically everything in the room didn't work, i.e. the t.v. the iron, the A/C, the phone, the coffee pot, sometimes no hot water. The fridge and microwave did work, tho. I found the staff to be friendly but a bit lazy. The office was closed alot and it was like pulling teeth to get service. However, I was allowed to leave my luggage in the lobby until my next hotel was ready for check in.

I will say the rooms were clean except for 1 out of 3 of my rooms had mold, smelled wet and had a hole in the ceiling right above the bed and pillows. Was not enough towels and wash clothes and none of my 3 rooms and when asked everything was we had to wait until the next morning. No yea or coffee or anything. My daughter is allergic to mold so this was very dangerous for her so luckily we could switch. The elevator felt like I was going to get stuck every time we took the steps to floor 5 a lot of the times. I have pictures of proof is needed.

STAY FAR AWAY

I think this may have been one of my worst experiences ever. I called before i got there and the guy at the desk was very short with me and rude. When I got there I was nice checked in. When I got to the room it smelled bad but it was also a strong smell of bleach too. The lock on the door was broken. When we arrived there were several gentleman watching us from the 2nd floor and we felt uncomfortable. When we got in the room we realized the sheets were dirty with either makeup/dirt I went down to the front desk and asked for someone to change it out. He said he would be right up to LOOK ( not change) at it because he didnt believe me. We waited a long time and we could see him and he never came. Just stayed talking on his cell. After waiting awhile because we had no where to sit, I went down and cancelled my stay for the weekend. He was super rude the entire time rolling his eyes at me. Huffing and puffing anytime I said anything. I was so nice too!!! There was food still in the fridge from the previous person.
