This is an old beat-up broken down motel, but it is as clean as can be, the water is hot, the air conditioner works and the staff is very nice and helpful. If you are ok sacrificing overall quality for the basics at a good price - this is the place.

The property is very clean, the house keepers are excellent. The photos are a bit of a lie though. They dont have waffle makers or donuts like shown in the photos. The breakfast is just bagels , yogurt , cereal or banana muffins also orange juice wnd apple juice. Coffee is available only at breakfast even though it says available in common rooms on the listing.

The king bed is very comfortable and has a very comfortable topper. There is a microwave and fridge, no coffee maker in the room which is one of the few hotels ive ever been at without a coffee maker in the room. The hotel staff are very nice. They will go out of there way to help you. They was all very nice.

they should really offers waffles since most of the wyndham locations do and the photo even shows a waffle maker. Breakfast is very boring. It needs improved. But with that being said the property is very clean. I would reccomend it if you need a place to rest. The rooms are very quiet and sound proofed. You dont hear any traffic which is very surprising. Really the only complaint is the breakfast and no coffee maker or coffee in the common room as advertised. They only have free water.

Laundry room is pretty cool too, they have an AC that keeps it very cool so you dont have to sweat on the hot days. This was something that ive never seen at the other hotels around town. There are deffinetly a lot of bonus but if your looking for breakfast its lacking!

Nice location. Taco bell, waffle house within 1 minute

We got this hotel last minute on a long road trip and it was easy and smooth to book, check in, and get access to the room quickly --which was good because we were tired from driving. The hotel is motel-style where you can drive right up to your doorstep, which was convenient for us loaded down with a car full. The room smelled like stale smoke but that is probably because this is an older hotel. It suited our needs and we were comfortable staying here.

The room was amazingly clean, the house keeper deserve a raise for sure. Not a single spec of anywhere. The only bad, no coffee pot in the room and the breakfast does not offer waffles even though the photo clearly shows a waffle maker. The king bed has a very nice pillow topper that makes it extremely comfortable. The TV is actually HD. Their toilet paper has very little on the rolls which is kinda annoying. Other than that. Its one of the cleanest properties I've stayed at out of a dozen. Very impressive cleaning lady.

This handicapped room could be an efficiency with its new full-sized frig and electric range and empty cabinets. The mattress was on a spring platform and not too comfortable. I removed the bedspread and was quite comfortable using the blanket and sheet covers alone.
The breakfast was good as a a Continental breakfast goes. I'm not fussy.

I never stayed there and they would not let me cancel the reservation. The reason I refused to stay there was I had a horrible stay at a different Howard Johnson that included bug infestation. Due to that experience I did not want to stay at any other Howard Johnson’s EVER AGAIN. This was explained to the manager but they chose to charge me for the room anyway.

All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The first room i was given was clearly a smoking room, and the exterior door had a gap where you could see out. However, the staff changed my room with no issue. For the second room, the seal around the door could have been better (light came shining through as did somebody's cigarette smoke). Both rooms were very worn, especially the floors. The floor of the bathroom in the second room felt spongy (but not wet); I don't know if it was supposed to be like that. The bed was relatively comfortable, and the sheets seemed clean. One of the pillow had been in a smoking room. Another had a musty smell in one corner. But there was a nice assortment of firmness in pillows, which was nice. The TV screen needed cleaning, but it was a good picture. The floors could have been better swept. The AC worked well. The continental breakfast was very limited. This will not be my first choice next year, but the price was nice.

The wife was concerned about the 2 star rating but this was false. The parking was perfect and all the rooms were ground level. I booked because of nostalgia and though there were plenty of pretend 5 stars around the location we would definitely stay here again. The pricing was excellent, all was clean, and the only fault from the appearance was the safety rails could use a paint job. No swimming pool, or gym was not a problem as we were booked only for one night. The neighborhood was so clean I felt very safe. I have told other travelers already and will continue to do so.

My main problem was that my room number was said aloud for the entire lobby to hear. Please don't do that it makes travelers feel extremely uncomfortable and worried for their safety when traveling alone. I was only staying one night but I still felt worried and unsafe.
Overall the stay was okay. The shower is made with shorter people, 5ft or shorter, in mind. The staff were pleasant in the morning and greeted me. For those on special diets, I do recommend you bring your own food. There was a microwave in the room which was great to heat up my dinner and breakfast the next morning.

I immediately asked for a refund. I’ll specifically ask for a non smoking room. When we walked into the room, it was filled with old musky smoke smell. We checked the beds like we always do and there was cigarette burn holes in both of the queen size beds on top of the comforter. I immediately went down and spoke to the office clerk, and he stated that he could only change the room one more time and that was it. I told him that I requested a non-smoking room and he said that that was a non-smoking room would not recommend.

Avoid this place just horrible where to begin well the hotel looks like it hasn't been updated since 1990 including the beds. The air conditioner made noise and smelled like smoke everytime heat was used. The breakfast was stale cereal and spoiled milk that made my daughter sick. There were people yelling and partying getting stoned in front of our door at 2am and nothing was done nor would front desk answer the phone. On check out day which is supposed to be 11 our keys stopped working at 9 two times. Then the worst we were charged 100 because my daughters tampon leaked a little on the 15 year old sheets you could literally see through and the hotel was too cheap to put a 3 dollar mattress protector on the bed

Well first they lied out their ass on hotels.com saying there is a seasonal pool doesn't exist. Breakfast is stale cereal and muffins and spoiled room temp milk. Orange juice that tasted rotten and no apple juice for days. TV and air conditioner worked when they felt like it and the air conditioner was loud and either froze us or roasted us. There were people getting high right outside our door constantly and yelling and partying at 2 in the morning and the hotel staff said nothing 🙄 the maid service consisted of a guy that couldn't speak English banging on our door anytime of the day or entering our room the second we left but only emptied the trash no clean sheets or towels and had to beg for toilet paper. Upon moving I noticed some of my jewelry was missing and my jewelry box is broken 😕 overall avoid this place there are many other hotels in the area that are much better

One issue…… they put my room right in a section where people live in the rooms. There was a car with no tags parked in a space in front of my room filled full of someone’s belongings. I was never able to park in front of my room due to the same vehicles never moving all weekend. I have no problem with anyone struggling to find a place to live and doing what they need to do to survive until they can do better. But perhaps the hotel management should consider letting them stay in an area of the hotel that would be for “living” and not visiting…… other than that it was an ok place to sleep for a couple hours before heading out for the day’s activities…..

TVs that didn’t work and lost signal repeatedly, no access to the breakfast room with the key card because it’s been broken for an extended period of time per the staff.

The hotel is run down to say the least. Uneven floors, outdated bathroom fixtures, shower, sink and toilet. Not ADA compliant at all.
Key cards that didn’t work on doors that they should have, amenities that were offered that didn’t pan out, appliances that didn’t work - I would not recommend this place unless you are desperate for a place to get cleaned up quick and have a very short night’s rest.

The condition of the room was unacceptable. Room entry door was deteriorated / damaged and needed to be replaced. Trash in room visible when I entered. Trash bags were being reused, not replaced. Bathroom reeked of urine smells. I suspect they are not using fresh water for each room. I had to spray air freshener in the bathroom and close the door to prevent odors from coming into the sleeping area. Bathroom door had damage; walls near toilet were dirty. I wiped them with my own sanitary wipes. Trash can bag was reused; not replaced.
I asked about a bedbug policy; the manager did not show me a document; just explained that housekeeping would check.
Overall room furniture was old.

Housekeeping could have replaced the empty toilet paper with a new roll. The heating unit didn’t work.

The property seemed more like a motel. The furniture was old and in need of repair. There was a broken office chair. The bed mattress was more firm than i would like it. The staff did provide clean towels and linens and kept the room tidy. For the price i paid, it wasnt bad. I wasnt too happy about the noise next door to my room. People playing music all night. The hotel could use a little remodeling and a paint job. The greatest advantage is location. This hotel is located in walking distance to stores and restaurants.

My husband decided to move things around and look and sure enough, the hotel is INFESTED in roaches! When I attempted to talk to the woman up front running the place, she claimed that she could not give me a refund because their manager was on leave for the week. She then proceeded to attempt to force me to settle with “another room” to which I refused. I will NEVER take myself or my family back to this place nor would I ever recommend it to anyone.

I was very disappointed to learn that this property is being used to house individuals from a homeless shelter, and that this information was not disclosed at the time of booking through Howard Johnson and Expedia. As a single mother traveling with two children, this was important information that would have impacted my decision to stay at this location.

I am especially frustrated that, given these circumstances, I was unable to receive a refund. Transparency is essential when families are making travel arrangements, and I feel this situation was handled poorly.

Based on this experience, I am very hesitant to use your services again in the future.
