Entire facility is run down and truly filthy. Room was dirty. Carpets are a mess in common areas. I had to clean the sink and faucet to use them in the bathroom. It is about a decade past its best years and in huge need of refurbishing. Way over priced. knew it was a bad sign when someone was paying cash as the counter when I was checking in.

DO NOT STAY HERE

We refused to stay there and are fighting to get our money back. The place should be condemned. It is filthy, terrible smell of old tobacco and weed. There were holes in the walls, the bathroom was disgustingly dirty, scum all around the tub, the lock on the door was broken and this was all within 5 minutes of getting our room. We went right back to the desk and said we will not stay here. The girl on the desk didn't even ask why, so didn't care. Asked for the credit card to refund but have yet to see it back on my card. Very terrible experience and this should hotel should not be an option on your site.Makes me question the validity of your website.

Horrible experience

First off, as soon as we pulled into the parking lot it was COVERED in snow. It had not snowed recently so there is no reason it shouldn’t have been cleared. Upon walking it, it was very dark and smelled of stale cigarettes. Once we got to the room the smell was unbearable. I did not even want to take my shoes off because of the condition of the carpets. The bathroom was grimy and there were candy wrappers in the sink! We were in town for a wedding so we had to use the room to get ready but ultimately decided we would just drive the hour home at the end of the night. Very disappointed overall. (photos are from a video I took of the room before we packed up and left)

Beware - Substandard Conditions

This was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had in 53 years. Very very disappointed, I’ve stayed at other Howard Johnson hotels, this by far is the worst of all. Over all condition of hotel is substandard,,, it should be closed down and reported!!!! Shame on Howard Johnson’s.
