The room was clean, staff was helpful, parking was a little tricky...
Needs an elevator. Our room was three stories up which made it difficult to ascend via stair flights. However, the room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable.
waited an hour for management and still no show for assistance, no towels, floors were sticky, outlets didn’t work, bed covers were just sheets, pillows had stains on it. Easy accessible location to things. Only perks is the location
Room looked clean but the bed had a lot of li t from washing. Bathroom shower know fell off and kept spinning. The fire alarm sensor was going off but did get taken care of promptly( thank you). Pool stated it was open till 9pm but the staff lock it before sunset and state "no pool at night. No exception!" When pool was open there are dead bugs and lots of leaves and debris in the pool.
The bedding was clean and the location was ideal for everything we had planned, having said that, HoJo’s is not what it used to be. I don’t even think they had anything to do with Howard Johnson’s besides the sign. There were guest banging on doors late at night, activity in the parking lot that was questionable. The rooms looked like they haven’t been wiped down in awhile. I’ve been in worse so things like this don’t really bother me. I’m just thankful there were no bed bugs and we had a place to stay.
Convenient parking and a reasonable price. Great place to rest and sleep.

For what I needed it for which was just 2 days for somewhere to sleep and decompress the facilities were ok. What made my time there exceptional was David at the front desk. From check in to a little WiFi hickup he was so helpful and professional and truly kind. I watched as he engaged others and how helpful and knowledgeable he was. David treated everyone with respect and the same care in an environment that you may not expect that type of customer service. So overall my time here was great.
The room we got here had sorry floors and the shower knob looked like it was about to break. The eds were so hard and pillows uncomfortable. Looked like everything on the outside needed to be power washed to get it to look decent. The WiFi was okay but not that good. You could here the outside noise very easily. Too many night and early morning people hanging around the property that we're not guest. This wasn't a good experience staying here
The guy working was nice and helpful but the condition of the property was terrible. Had we not gotten in super late and needed to leave early we would have switched hotels. The floors were dirty, the bathroom sink had a sticky residue with hair stuck in it and the same hair/residue was on a hangar in the closet. We did not feel safe in the location as a whole. We were placed above the office and I’m fairly certain rooms at the back were rented for drug use and prostitution
The hotel is very outdated. Only thing that are decent are the beds, floors and cleanliness of the room. The walk ways to the rooms are very narrow on the above floors and a bit scary to walk on if you’re afraid of heights. Closet rod was broken on one side. Toilet would only flush if you hold down the handle. Shower had low pressure. There was only one bath towel and one hand towel. Hotel staff was unfriendly. I thought hotels under Wyndham would be good. I guess not. I will not be staying at this Howard Johnson again.
