Arrived later than expected so I’m sure they initially just gave me what was available. The 1st room was DIRTY! The bathroom had stains and holes in the wall, the ac was loud and the room smelled “old”. Then we found a spider in the shower. I asked to switch rooms and the gentlemen was nice enough to accommodate us however the upgrade wasn’t that much different. I had to go to the local store and purchase my own cleaning products. I will give credit for the breakfast offered daily, the waffle station was a nice and needed added touch. Also there’s a $100 deposit you probably won’t get back. Please beware.

We booked a stay at the Howard Johnson but decided not to check in after seeing the condition of the hotel and room. The property was nothing like the listing described. There was a strong mold smell throughout the hotel and room, the bathtub would not drain, and the flooring was lifted and damp. The furniture was broken and torn, and overall everything felt dirty and poorly maintained. We did not feel comfortable or safe staying here and had to make other arrangements. I would not recommend this property based on our experience.

The housekeeping staff needs to understand that guests expect basic communication in English, including being able to read and respect “Do Not Disturb” signs. From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., they were making constant noise in the hallways, slamming doors, and disturbing guests. On top of that, the vending machines malfunctioned, and I was left having to chase my money back. When I booked through Expedia, I was told no deposit would be required. Yet, upon arrival, the front desk insisted on one, and I had no choice but to pay. This inconsistency is unacceptable. I am not going to continue leaving positive reviews for hotels that fail to train their staff properly or respect their customers. Hotels operate on guest trust, and when the environment becomes hostile or careless, it is not worth staying there. For the record, I am also a Wyndham Rewards Member, and I expect a much higher standard of service.
