Not what it looks like in the pictures and as soon as you walk in the lobby it smelled. I paid for the room ahead of time through a 3rd party. So we checked in and walked in the first room. Part of the forcible entry lock was missing, as well as it smelled like cigarettes. I asked for a refund but was told they could not provide a refund and was offered another room. This room also had a different part of the forceable lock missing. The gentleman working assured me that no one else has a key to my room and it would be fine. I said absolutely not because it almost looked kicked in. We were offered a third room where all devices were there, but the room was just not clean. It gave off a very “trafficking” feel. At this point I was willing to lose the money I had already paid and checked out at this location. I went 5 minutes down the road and paid $29 more for another beautiful hotel with a 4 star rating that gave us a welcome gift, clean beautiful room, pool, and great breakfast. The only positive thing to mention about this property is that the manager was understanding, polite, and offered to help me get my money back.

The workers are nice but some of the rooms have roaches, and burn holes in the sheets. Sometimes the cups in the room may be missing or the tv won’t work or the remotes won’t have any batteries. In my opinion the hotel charges way too much for these rooms to have so much wrong with them. When you get up in the morning there is no breakfast, at least I wouldn’t call it breakfast so you will be paying a lot of money for the bare minimum to have a place to stay.

The bathroom was disgusting. Black mold in the grout lines in the tile in the shower. The door molding was gross. Some black substance was on it. I called to have it cleaned. They were responsive, but the person who came to clean it thought it was fine. When I pointed it out, he cleaned some areas and was amazed at how good it looked. I assisted with the remainder of the cleaning. The outside doorknob to the bathroom was also missing. We were afraid to sleep in the bed based on the condition of the room. There was coffee but no machine in the room. The continental breakfast was a joke. If there was another hotel vacant, I would have eaten the cost and gone else where. I’ll send an email to Howard Johnson as well hoping for an explanation since I won’t trust their brand going forward. Lastly, the outside picture of the facility when I booked it thru expedia was misleading. This place was a dive compared the photo.

This establishment is old and decrepit. While I don’t expect a five star stay at a roadside motel, for $135 I would hope that I would have clean sheets, at least. Found what looked to be a blood stain of some sort on the sheet on one of the beds. I needed the room for one night only, and couldn’t get out of there fast enough!!

Staff was rude. I booked a one king size room and got put in a two twin bed room. No towels in room. I had to go ask and when I did such staff was rude about giving them to me. Area is a bit unsafe. Nothing but vending machines and they “offers free wifi” they don’t.
