Thought I would save a few bucks, but was really disappointed in the property. The room smelled musty like it was a smoking room. The carpet was all wrinkled and bunched up and duck taped to the floor. Won’t stay here again.

Plenty of parking but we saw lots of glass on the parking lot which looked like car window breakage. The worst breakfast ever we had in hotel, wish I can share pictures. Gravy and biscuits, the gravy was in crock pot probably several days old, 1 molded orange, about 2-3 yogurts in warm fridge with warm milk in it as well. This was out second time to stay in Howard Johnson, the first one was not nice as well so we thought give them one more chance but never again.

My bathroom needed a serious deep clean. Upon checking the window to see the weather outside, I discovered the window track was BLACK with mold. Im only guessing the rest of the AC hadnt been cleaned in a long time. The pool has also long been abandoned and I can only imagine what the curtains are hiding in there. Not a good hotel at all. Needs a serious deep clean by a cleaning crew.

Not sure about this one

The hotel is old and in need of updating and a deep clean wouldn't hurt. There are a lot of Band-Aids to make things work. If you are expecting breakfast you better be there well before 8:00 as there was no food left. Only a few pieces of white bread and sugar cereals. On the positive side, the staff was nice (they can't do anything about the condition or amount of food provided). Our room was fairly clean but the bathroom is very old and you just can't get it clean.
