An absolutely horrible place! This place should not even be in operation! They are in the middle of some construction work, which means that everything is dirty, unkept, run down, and terribly noisy. The absolute worse place that I have ever stayed in.

This was by far one of the dirtiest rooms I have stayed in. There were no clean towels the shower was dirty. The microwave was so dirty no way I going to warm up any food there. There was no chair to sit in. The lock on the door was not that secure. The only good thing is that I only needed the room for a few hours just to get some sleep and get out of there.

This Howard Johnson is being remodeled. I couldn't even find it because they haven't changed their signs by the highway or the interstate. The first room they sent me to was still under construction and I couldn't stay in it. The ceiling in the bathroom is falling down and the paint is chipping off. There are holes in the walls. The curtains are falling down. The only good thing about it was the comfortable bed and I did sleep well and maybe that's the most important thing.

We were there 3 nights and never had any room service cleaning or new towels. We tried complaining to front desk but no one seemed concerned about it. I would never stay here!!!!

Disgusting, crusty blankets and black mold on the wall with the shower. Roaches. The hotel room reeked. The staff was unhelpful, we asked for soap continuously for two days and did not get any. No complimentary breakfast due to renovations. People were even asking us how our stay was going because they were unsatisfied with their stay too. Do NOT come here, even if you think the price is fair.
