They charged me a 200 damage deposit, but didn't clean the yellow stains, running down the wall in the bathroom and the water was black. The comforter on my bed had blood on it. The room had an overpowering smell of cigars. Had to open the windows hours before we were able to sleep in there.

Friendly little motel

Check in was quick and friendly. We received a courtesy call after check in to make sure everything in the room met our needs. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. Overall, it did the trick for a one night stay at a reasonable price. A good option for bike riders.

I never actually stayed at the property, it was booked for a ball tournament that was cancelled last second. Hotel would not entertain requests from me or Expedia for a refund or to change dates (with no refund, even offered to pay a upcharge) simply said you’re out of luck. The manager was unavailable and would not return calls even when promised. I assume that was because of the overwhelming number of cancellations. However, I would expect better from Howard Johnson’s. There are many other better choices in every city.

The rooms are very basic, the rooms look run down with multiple patches on walls. Some mold noted under sink in bathroom, and on ceiling. Mattresses are old and could use an update. Not luxury... But better than sleeping outside. At least the staff were friendly and very happy to help when called.
