"I am honestly shocked that Wyndham allows the Howard Johnson name to remain attached to this property. I checked in late last night without reading reviews beforehand because I assumed a Howard Johnson by Wyndham would at least meet a minimum standard of cleanliness, maintenance, and safety. That assumption was completely wrong. The first room we were assigned reeked so badly of cigarette smoke that we immediately had to request another room. The second room smelled nearly identical, except now mixed with what genuinely smells like mold and mildew. The condition of the room is appalling — holes in the walls, dirt and grime throughout, stains and filth on surfaces, and even what appeared to be blood on the floor. To make matters worse, the key card reader for the room does not even function properly. The front desk attendant had to use a master key to let us in and then informed us that if we left the room we likely would not be able to get back in. So effectively, once inside, you feel trapped. After reading reviews afterward, it became clear this is not an isolated experience. There are countless complaints mentioning smoke-filled rooms, mold, bugs, broken locks, stained bedding, unsafe conditions, drug activity around the property, and rooms that appear completely neglected. The consistency of these complaints over time is honestly unbelievable. This property is not just “dated.” It is run down, poorly maintained, and unsanitary."

"The photos on the website appear to have been taken at an entirely different hotel — possibly on a different planet. The room we stayed in looked like it had survived several natural disasters and then immediately hosted another one. There was not a single surface that wasn’t cracked, blistered, stained, peeling, broken, or hanging on purely out of spite. The walls were bubbling, the ceilings looked water-damaged, the moldings were splitting apart, and the bathtub drained with all the urgency of continental drift. The air conditioner had exactly two settings: “off” and “Arctic wind tunnel.” When it kicked on, it sounded like a Boeing 747 preparing for takeoff and could probably refrigerate meat for long-term storage. The bathroom was so unbelievably small that you had to physically step into the tub just to open or close the door. I’ve seen larger bathrooms on airplanes. The hallways featured industrial drying fans every few feet, strong musty flood-damage vibes, and the general atmosphere of a building actively losing a fight against moisture. The only genuinely positive thing I can say is that the toilet paper was surprisingly decent, which, considering the state of everything else, felt like a luxury amenity."

"very busy with many baseball teams visiting . pool and hottub very busy and no towels remained . also hot tub was not warm in the morning at 9 am when I went to use it.otherwise comfortable bed and nice modern look and feel "

"built in 1928 this hotel brings a lot of nostalgia with old period correct elevator and furnishings . If you're looking for average accommodations and a nostalgic glimpse into the past you will enjoy your stay . If your looking for modern amenities and furnishings look elsewhere "

"The air conditioning is not working, and the staff's solution is disappointing since we have a toddler with us."
