The price i pay for this room it do not worth it. I had better for less price. There is nothing to do here. The fridge just stop working and the foods i bought will have to garbage tomorrow.
It was listed that breakfast is included, but actually it isn’t. The bathroom door was broken, my son couldn’t come out after closing the door, and the hotel staff was not able to open the door either. The building is run down, visibly in the middle of renovation and can’t feel comfortable. Most horrible experience as a hotel.
The place was ugly from the outside just like the inside and smell bad I would not stay there again inside my was room wasn’t properly clean they was food on the floor and other peoples hair all over and so much more …
Cockaroaches dirty, crack shack of a hotel. Advertised breakfast. Had nothing. Lisa' at front desk was amazing. She put me in 1 of the renovated rooms in front on the second floor
Place was not as pictured. Rooms looked to have had roach infestation bcause there were few dead bodies. The hotel was not a Wyndham standard, i booked 2 nights because of the name but i will have second thoughts in the future booking anything from Wyndham. I just stayed 1 night even though i paid for two.
If we hadn't paid the non-refundable rate, we would have walked out right away. It was in a scary neighborhood. The check-in counter was behind a wall of glass with a little tray to slide your ID through. If they don't trust the people in the neighborhood what does that say to the clients coming in. The lady behind the desk was sort of friendly. She didn’t talk much. Concerning the room: it was nothing like the picture on the website. It was very small. The bed was made well but uncomfortable, as were the pillows. There were long black hairs around the bed and in the bathroom. The mirror was so scratched it was hard to see your face in it. The outside of the room looked like it was on a loading dock with all sorts of stuff lying around -- chairs, pieces of carpet, old cabinets, etc. When we came back from dinner at night it was dark and hard to tell where we were going. Just plain scary! The ice machine and other machines were not working. There was only coffee available in the breakfast room. When we ask about both these problems we were told it was because they were renovating. If you can't afford to keep up the hotel during renovation it shouldn't be open to the public. The morning staff was friendly but that doesn't make up for the terrible condition of the hotel. I will never stay at a Howard Johnson's again!

The motel is run down and needs a lot of TLC. The guy at the counter informed me that there was a $100 deposit, I was surprised due to the condition the building was in, I’m unsure how much worse it can get. Staff was friendly for the most part but when I went to check out in the morning, the young male had a pillow on the counter and he was sleeping, very unprofessional. I couldn’t wait to check out and be out of there. Also, the doors kept getting jammed and were a struggle to open.
First thing… there was no one at the front desk when I arrived for check in for almost 1/2 hr. There’s piles of trash bags right outside my room. There’s no ice machines because they are both broken. No vending machine because they are both broken too. It’s a NON smoking room but smells like nothing but smoke. The attendant was rude. The next attendant spoke little to no english
The hotel was not a clean environment and had a broken bathroom door, broken faucet, dirty sheets and curtains, and stained/peeling walls. This hotel is not reccomended
Ripped chair broken shelf, unswept floors rude receptionist:
He was arguing that $200-$300 deposit on top of paid via expedia receipt is a standard in industry.
He needs to be fired.
People live there, so there was a lot of kids crying and people banging on walls, or floors at all hours. Couldn't really rest. Outside looks nice, but inside is another story.
