For being a Wyndham property, this did not meet the usual standards for cleanliness or upkeep of the property. Drapes were broken, paint is peeling off walls, and there is mould to be seen. On the other hand, it met our needs for a night, the bed was comfortable,. The breakfast is sparse and if you have any dietary issues, it probably isn’t the place for you to have your breakfast. But there’s great places in town to go for breakfast. Lastly, we didn’t know that their pool was not in service until after the booking, which was disappointing.

The Room was clean, but you can see it needs a a facelift especially in the bathroom. They have free WiFi advertised in their sign, but the connection is iffy. Hot water was also disappointing, It was intermittent depending on whether other people are using water or flushing the toilet.

The room wasn’t cleaned properly. There was a child’s ball beside the bed and threads by the other bed. The shower surround is filthy. Caulking was very dirty with filthy corners. Definitely needs to be replaced. Leaning staff needs to do a better job of cleaning around the bottom of the shower door. We had to unplug the AC because it wouldn’t shut off and kept making loud noises so we couldn’t sleep. We won’t recommend this accommodations and will not stay here again.

The room had new flooring and the walls were freshly painted with a shiny paint. The curtain was old and full of holes.

Have stayed at 9 -10 hotels / motels during rhis 3 weeks visit of Brirish Columbia and this Howaes Jhonson was undoubtedly the worst among all. Stayed here twice and both times it was disappointing. The dirst room had bad smell of smoking that other travellers have mentioned also. The second room had no hot water. Left the shower open for 10 minutes but no signs of hot water. If one of the breakfast item is finished, you ll have to fo to the reception ans ask them to refill that whixh they would but with a face that you ll regret asking for that. I have been a Hulton Diamond and an IHG Diamond for several years and have tried hundreds of hotels and trust me if I have to mark the list of worst ten ( among chain hotels) this one will find a place in the list on top .

Location is good in most ways but has an ambience of unsafe due to near downtown that has sketchy people passing by or around the vicinity. Camera around the hotel kinda ease the anxiousness. Near to most amenities needed. Hospital is just 3 blocks away.
The hotel outside appearance is outdated and looks like a run down structure. The room was renovated poorly and badly maintained cleanliness. The mattress that we sleep on is good and has small patchy of stain. No signs of bugs....thanks goodness. 3 out of the4 pillows were disgusting. These pillows were like been used and peed on and really morbidly dirty. They were covered by a clean zippered pillow case to hide the pillows condition, then covered by 3 to four pillows cases 😱. The floor was not vacuumed and mop. The floor is dirty, I have to go to reception to borrow a broom to clean it myself. Staff never offered to clean up the room 😳. The base and trunk of the toilet bowl has dried urine flows on it, visibly. The toilet tissue the supposedly spare was dirty. I went to receptionand requested to get the 3 disgusting pillow to be change, handed the spare dirty tissue roll and requested a broom to clean up the room myself, kinda odd me cleaning room. Second day of stay, I requested to get our room cleaned and have the bed linens stripped off because linen has marks of stains on it. Good thing the room smells okay. Staff was accommodating. Breakfast was not really enticing. Bagel was rock solid. Vigilance when checking in.

The beds were not very comfortable, it took all night for the ac to cool the room and the faucets in the bathroom were all loose , the shower head leaked etc etc. She did give us a plug that worked so our grandson could bathe as she really wanted to help. The breakfast was good, typical continental with good coffee. The price was cheap, especially bc we were just passing through, but I don’t think we will return when I’m Kamloops again unless they upgrade the rooms. I’d rather pay a little more for an upgraded room.

After travelling all day, we arrived at the front desk and were told that they had overbooked and they didn’t have a room for us. The booking was made through Hotels.com. I asked the front desk if they could help us find another hotel and she said no. There was a 64 team tournament in town so most hotels were fully booked.

In the end we found a sketchy motel that cost more than what the original hotel we booked. Not a great experience, especially when travelling with children.

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.
