Property required a deposit, desk person asked for cash. I forgot to ask for the cash back in the morning. When I called the manager asked why I didnt ask for the depoait to be put on a credit card. I wasn't given that option and didn't appreciate being lectured when I dont work there and don't know their policies.

Never got room service for a 3 night stay. One shower towel had a bunch of brown stains on it so I left it on the floor and it was never replaced. Shower drain was covered in hair from previous guest. Key didn’t work 3 times. Had to go to lobby to have them fix it. First time they just gave me a different room. 2nd and 3rd times they reset the key. Guys at front had no customer service skills whatsoever. No apology or anything. Literally didn’t say more than “let me see your key.” The fan to the refrigerator would start and turn off every couple minutes and would make an extremely loud sound when turning off. I had to unplug it during the night which made all of our drinks warm by morning. I never leave reviews but this was an overall very poor experience and definitely won’t be staying at another Howard Johnson hotel again.

First of all, advertised that they had airport shuttle which turned out not to currently be operating. I mentioned it at check-in and there was no apology offered or any comment whatsoever. The price I paid for this room was ridiculous considering the lack of quality. This felt like a $50 room. On a positive note, I requested a ground floor room which I received.

Pictures online were nothing like the room we got. Our room looked like they assigned us to it in error. It looked like it was under renovation and being patched to paint. Floor was disgusting. Bathroom sink was pealing. Caked dirt in corners. Towels for one person although a 2 queen bed room. No tissue, no extra toilet paper. I do not recommend and would never return.

Avoid this motel

This is probably the most disgusting motel I’ve stayed at ever! Stained sheets, dirty walls, sink, floors, shower, and a barely functional tv. For $120 it was also a rip off.
