I'm very surprised that Howard Johnson would put their name on it. Must be recieving substantial payments for the name. Our visit was a emergency visit to the area otherwise I would have requested a refund and stayed elsewhere. Room wasn't entirely cleaned after last guest. Never stay again!

Horrible
The service desk was not friendly she did not say anything not sure if there was a language issue. The room was out-dated and dirty hair was on the side of the bed, the bed frame was dirty, and the bathroom tub was old. No breakfast!! this should be called a Motel on the website. It's giving Howard Johnson a bad name, I been to several different hotels with this name, but this is one should not be listed as it is. Website is deceiving located in a bad area..

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were filthy. Urine and hair on the bathroom floor around the toilet. Towel rack was broken off the wall. And out of the 5 rooms I reserved 3 of them smelled like cannabis. And after turning on my air conditioner for an hour then my room smelled like cannabis. It smelt like the filters haven’t been changed in years. I’m no hotel manager but I even know that’s not the way a $205/night room should look or smell. When I asked for a refund the child at the front desk said if we had a problem with the room we should’ve said something when we checked in. Who wants to make a complaint about a room at 11:30 pm when just getting off the freeway. For a Wyndham property I expected better and as someone who regularly schedules trips for groups we’ll NEVER stay at this hotel ever again.
