First room had one curtain that was held on by one hook only and did not cover the whole window. The window itself was very dirty with a stain across most of it. View from the window was of a tent on a pallet occupied by a homeless person on the hotel property. No remote for tv either.

Second room had two curtains, I guess the upgrade package! No shower curtain, no fridge, no tv and most amazing of all.... No lightbulbs in the lamps

It seemed more like a big, dirty storage building than a hotel. All surfaces were like they hadn’t been wiped in a year, shower curtain was so gross I showered with it open so it wouldn’t touch me. The sink still had hair and makeup residue. There was only one towel and no wash cloths when we arrived. The sheets and pillowcases on both beds were filled with multiple types of hair and “dirt” marks. We slept on top of the covers with our personal blankets. The locking latch was broken off our door. The toilet was surprisingly clean and the ac worked great. That’s all I can say positive about this place.

When I arrived at the property I could not tell where the entrance was because it was plastic surrounding it and construction workers up on a ladder blocking the doors. Then when I entered I was told the elevators don’t work and was not guided on what way to best access my room. The property has multiple levels stairs halls and access points. As soon as I forced the door open to the room because it was sticking badly I noticed the floor was dirty and needed to be swept. The carpet needed to be vacuumed as well. The curtain on the window did not cover the whole window and it was a community of about 10/15 homeless people with their tents that could see right in. The room had a conjoining door that was not closed or locked. Just when I was going to ask for a different room a mouse ran through. This was all within the first hour of being there. I go back down to checkout and there is another man complaining of mice. To top it all off the front desk receptionist first said there isn’t any other rooms available after I made it clear that I wanted to checkout. Then said if I could wait a hour maintenance would come to fix the issue. I kept saying I am leaving. Ignored me a 3rd time and said there was another room all of a sudden that was available. Just to finally tell me very rudely that I would only get a refund for one night stay not both night’s. Even though I checked in and right back out.

The Name of the hotel was not on the exterior - only the old Norwood/Red Roof sign. Informed at check in there was no continental breakfast as the hotel was under renovation. The desk clerk had to bring me a fridge and a microwave and just after he left water started pouring from the ceiling in the bathroom. Not dripping - pouring (I have video). the toilet seat was unhinged. I was too tired to change rooms but I told the clerk I would do so the next evening when I returned. No towels so I had to get them from the desk. Room smelled bad. Almost every night there were other people in the hallway or outside yammering on without any respect for the other residents trying to sleep. The last night there was a domestic argument going on until I heard what sounded like the male slamming the female around. No sense in calling the front desk - no phone in the room. I called 911 and the police came and everything went quiet. Only one bellman's cart and when that was got I got a cart made with splintered plywood. I am never going back here and the fact that it was cheap is no excuse for how bad it was managed and maintained. I only took the room because it was a last minute arrangement.

Property looks like an abandoned building. In midst of reno and should be closed due to depth of reno. Took 3 separate rooms to get one with working a/c. The building is a glorified flop house and Howard Johnson Inc should be ashamed that this Property bares the name. None of the amenities were available. Filthy both inside and out. Hallway carpet fire hazards. If I didn't have any choice I would have found another property. Unfortunately one night didn't kill me. Pictures available

We got there very light at night and were immediately told by someone else there were roaches. We had traveled a long way so we decided to try it and the room had very obviously not been cleaned between the last users and us despite me having reserved the room last Monday (we stayed Friday) . We chose to sleep on top of the covers because we were exhausted. The next morning we went down for breakfast just to learn it had been closed for a while. I also requested a room service to get fresh towels and sheets. The towels took well over 2 hours and the sheets occurred sometime in the day. The name on the hotel is also Norwood Suites which confused us greatly.

I saw a door with the pool sign that says that it’s closed for maintenance. They have couches the debris of construction everywhere. It is carpeted and those smell is just unbearable. All they do is give you a key to a dirty room. I was booked for two days, they come to my door the a day early to tell me to check out. Unbelievable. I showed them my reservation and they said ok. their bathroom drain is completely blocked as well as sink. The floor is dirty and the AC unit is so dirty inside of this smell awful. Because I already did check before I saw the condition of inside, I was not able to get a refund. I will never stay in such dump.

The worse is that in the morning we were told there was no breakfast when it was supposed to be included with the reservation.

The room was cheap but you could not have paid me to stay in any room in this hotel if that room was deemed acceptable. If I could rate it lower then I have I would have.

There is no breakfast there is no pool. There is no gym stepped on a screw the first night and when we told the front desk they shrugged and said, did you wanna stay or are you checking out? No phone in the room no alarm clock in the room only one working outlet in the whole room so we had to unplug the microwave to plug in the refrigerator to get it to cool down. There is plastic over the TV that was hung crooked. There are holes in the walls some with electrical wiring exposed mold in the bathtub. We checked in to the room and had exactly one washcloth and as there is no phone, I had to go all the way down to the front desk to ask for towels on day two we have to ask for towels again and ask for cleaning service cleaning came and made the bed, but we did not get an actual cleaning because construction dirt was still all over the bus floor we did get clean towels, though and buy towels. I mean one body towel and one hand towel. When we went down to ask for additional towels since we were two people that needed to wash our hair and bodies, they told us we needed to bring down our dirty linens before they could give us any clean ones. So after he showered, I brought down his towels and order to get a towel for myself. They were not willing to give me a second one for my hair. I also had to plead to get a roll of toilet paper.

Unless you're accustomed to living in the ghetto or are comfortable enough to sacrifice your standards for cost/convenience, do not waste your time with this place because you will absolutely get what you pay for.

Overall, the vibes of this place online (which were completely false, misleading, and used stock photos) was that it would be an enjoyable experience and it absolutely made me feel like inmates and people in homeless shelters have more...just more in general than this place offered. The location gave off \"seedy\" motel vibes and the clientele were either from out of town, like myself, or were exactly the type of people you'd expect to stay/live there.

Photos showed spa tub, integrated TV stand with mini fridge and microwave, and coverlets on beds - actual room had no tub, separate fridge and rusted, dirty microwave with missing turntable and dirty (non-matching) sheets on the two beds. Beds had not been vacuumed beneath/behind (visible trash left behind, not just crumbs) and smears of crushed bedbugs but no live bugs observed.

Continental breakfast advertised, but not provided either of the two mornings of the stay. Hotel clerk said they could not provide it because of renovations, despite the open counter in the lobby. No remedy was suggested nor was the ice machine functional though I would not have trushed it had been cleaned/was safe.

The entire facility smelled of vomit and mildew and the evidence of the \"renovations\" taking place included rolled up carpet, old furniture, and mattresses lining the hallways, lobby, and outdoor areas of the hotel with no care to the safety or appearance of the property.

I generally don't give bad reviews. I will give the location the benefit of the doubt. They were clearly undergoing a massive renovation. When I arrived, the parking lot had numerous stained mattresses lined up near a dumpster, and broken furniture piled up outside. The parking lot was okay, fairly typical. After check-in I walked down the hall to my room. The hallway was lined with garbage bags full of cut up carpet bits, paint scrapings, and other random construction detritus and I mean lined with probably 20 bags. Not to mention empty boxes and old lamps and stacks of lampshades. When I got to my room, it had clearly been in the beginning stages of refurbishment. The only thing left in the room was a dilapidated chair in the corner, suspiciously angled towards the bed. The bed itself, a lamp, a nightstand, a TV, and a a bureau inside the bureau was a fridge that did not work. Work. There were multiple multicolored stains all over the floor and some sort of white crumbly stuff near the bed. As I had been traveling for a while, I covered the bedspread and put my own pillowcases on which is my habit to do at any hotel, and tried to sleep for the night. I say tr The bed was god-awfully This went I don't know if it's in Ohio regulation but the fire Anytime somebody walks After my first .

I’ve stayed at thousands of hotels and this was hands-down the worst experience. There were homeless people scattered around the front of the property when we pulled up. Walking in the first thing I noticed was how bad the lobby smelled. Everything was dirty and worn and the property was in the middle of a remodel. The hallways had not been vacuumed in weeks and there was dust and dirt everywhere. The carpet had been replaced however the bathroom was dirty with cracked tile and hair. This would’ve all been fine if the owner or manager had not been incredibly rude. He refused to give us extra pillows and when I express frustration he dared me to leave at 11:30 at night because he felt like he had power over me and I was stuck. Do not stay here ever even if it appears cheap

The hotel itself is rundown and disgusting. There are bits and pieces of carpet covering a mild dude floor. There are holes and all equipment laying around all over the place. The room itself had mold growing in the bathroom and the ceiling in the inside of the shower, they tried to cover the terrible smell by putting incense an old nail holes in the walls of the room. It was a terrible experience, and I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone. I am very disappointed in Expedia for posting the pictures that it did and making it look as though it was a decent hotel. The pictures that Expedia has posted is definitely not what you will see. Within the first 10 minutes of walking into the building there were two different people coming down, complaining and requesting new rooms because of how dirty and filthy their rooms were.

I want to request a FULL refund to this reservation because immediately after checking in, we checked out right away because of the stench in the lobby, hallway, and in room 114. My wife was gagging for air because she could not breathe. My daughter was coughing because she could not get used to the smell. We could not believe this so-called 'hotel' actually passed normal inspection. Does Hotels.com send inspectors to check out these places at all? Do you even get inspection report from the city or state building dept? Holy s, I could not stand it because it smells like a dead rat for many days in the process of decomposing under the sun. Okay, I will pay anyone double the rate if you are a normal person who expects a normal hotel lobby and says this place is ok to stay. I stayed at many normal hotels in the past, but this one had to be the worst of them all.

I don't normally leave reviews but felt motivated after this stay. It really didn't concern me the grass hadn't been mowed by the end of April. It seems there was a recent owner/management change by the banner covering the previous sign and what looks like on going renovations inside. I was hopeful for a hotel that cost more than the others in the area.The pictures online are not indicative of the current condition nor likely what will be after \"renovations\". The current management is attempting to slap lipstick on a pig to freshen it up. By literally slapping paint everywhere! There is paint on almost everything that required any effort to remove or cover. I know they had masking tape because there was some left on the door handle. They chose not to use it anywhere else. The mirror and wall coverings were missing which really didn't bother me. The holes and drywall cracks were still there with no effort to repair before painting. The towel rack was ready to fall off the wall, maybe the fresh paint will hold it a little longer. I guess they didn't notice because you need to retrieve your own towels yourself from the front desk. There was nothing for the included breakfast or bottled water, so don't believe that in the amenities. If anyone from the management cares to read this and improve, use soft white bulbs in the future replacements. Anyone else, I don't know how the surrounding hotels could be much worse and good luck.

Run! Bed bugs! Dirty bedding & bathrooms! The whole place smells like feces! We refused to stay! Several customers coming out told us to turn around, the place was unfit for stay! The staff at the front desk cancelled our stay, but said because we booked third party (Hotels.com) that they couldn’t refund us the charges. We would have to contact them separately. We have NOT gotten a refund, yet!

This hotel is currently under renovations. Not ideal to stay here until they are done with the work. I'm sure it will be nice when they are done. The staff was very friendly.

The hotel looks nothing like the pictures on Hotels.com. It’s a very old hotel that’s being renovated into Howard Johnson’s. It’s nasty. It’s smells so bad in there of mold and something dead. When we arrived the first room that they gave us hadn’t been cleaned. It still had stuff left over from the previous people that have been in it. There was a cigarette butt in the garbage can. The carpeting down the hallway was pieces of carpet with gaps that makes it a tripping hazard. In the second room, they gave us you could smell the mold it was so bad and you could see the mold on the wall and they just painted over it. The mattress looked new in the room but the sheets had stains and what looked like pieces of wood chips on it. We didn’t even stay the night we ended up just checking out after we got back from the Luke Combs concert. It advertises breakfast but I wouldn’t trust eating anything they had. The outside isn’t well maintained and the grass was overgrown.

Terrible service. We paid a premium expecting a breakfast like the one shown on their website. When I went to inquire about it, a man started shouting at me, claiming I was lying and that I must have been looking at photos of a different hotel—not that one. I pointed out how illogical that was: why would I look at photos, make a reservation, and spend the night at a hotel if the pictures on the website actually belonged to a different place? It was ridiculous. And that wasn't even the worst part: the toilet bowl had fecal residue in it, and the smell was horrible. To top it all off, the place felt like a drug den, and the door to the room across the hall kept slamming all night long. I had just undergone surgery four days prior and needed a pleasant, clean place to rest; instead, it turned out to be the worst experience we’ve ever had. Please, do not stay here—it is absolutely not worth the cost.

The property was very disgusting and unpleasant feeling there. Not a good place for anyone. False advertisement. Supposed to have a jetted tub, didn't, holes in walls, broken furniture. Wouldn't suggest to anyone at this particular location

This place was honestly not safe to be in. As soon as we walked in the room we knew we had to get a different hotel. The carpet was peeling up from the floor. Nothing had been swept in a really long time. The place smelled like smoke and there was mold in the bathrooms. I didn’t feel comfortable putting my stuff in the room.

It doesn’t serve breakfast, which is the main reason I selected the hotel. It has layers of dust on the drawer, doors have chunks missing, drawer handles missing, no phone available in the room, water rotted wood, a huge roach was in the bathroom, shower not clean, there was a dirty wash cloth that was hanging on the shower rod, hallways and stairs had trash, sticky floors. We had to ask for a trash can for the room. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The name did not say Howard Johnson. If this was bought out by a new brand, they are definitely giving the Howard Johnson a bad reputation.

I couldn’t even say that’s how bad the place was. The guy said that they were doing renovations and one of the rooms I was in was supposed to be renovated. But it was awful. There was holes in the wall. There was someone’s old razor in the bathroom, and an open beer bottle in the fridge that wasn’t even on. The comforter had cigarette holes in it and the comforters looked so old and dirty like they were from the 70s or 80s. Just inside in general walking to my room felt very troubling and I was kind of scared to even go to my room. Would not recommend at all. Do not go here.

The hotel was in the must of renovation. Nothing like what you see on the site. Floor stain and dirty. Haven't been vacuum or sweep in forever. Bed sheets nasty so being your own. Towels had stains on them. Good crumbs on draws and in microwave. Toilet seat coming apart so sit with caution. Shower had hair looked like someone had recently shaved. Load music throughout the night. Prostitutes everywhere. The whole experience was horrible after a 16 hour drive
