Staff was friendly and rooms were clean, but the lobby was
This room was to much for what you got but we didn’t have much of a choice. Room had an old smoke smell upon arrival. They are in desperate need of new beds. When my spouse or I would roll over you can hear the springs in the bed squeezing and making noise. There were holes in the walls where something once hung. The AC was loud. If you have a choice I’d pick somewhere else to stay. Would not stay here again.
Shady place. We were only there for two hours and then we left. A lady who looked like a drug addict talked to me just outside our room while I was unpacking my car. Two cop cars showed up to the lobby looking for someone. I asked them if this was a decent hotel or is it shady? They both said it’s shady and they would not stay here! After that, someone came up to our door and was jiggling the handle to see if it was locked! On top of that, my room was really hot and uncomfortable. All this happened in less than two hours. I was not comfortable staying at this place with my wife and young child.
The property was out dated. I didn't have light bulbs in either of floor lamp or the bedside table lamp.The female staff was help with solving this issue, after I pointed this out!
This motel was pretty sub-standard and the beds in the room was not that comfortable. The breakfast options the motel offered was pretty substandard and could be improved.
This establishment is old and decrepit. While I don’t expect a five star stay at a roadside motel, for $135 I would hope that I would have clean sheets, at least. Found what looked to be a blood stain of some sort on the sheet on one of the beds. I needed the room for one night only, and couldn’t get out of there fast enough!!
The property is horrible. Our room stunk of mildew,i had to use a car freshener which still didn't help, there was no hot water only warm water in the shower.. as a property Wyndham ower Wyndham should be embarrassed having there name associated with that hotel.. one thing that's definitely for sure I will never ever ever go to a Howard Johnson again never
Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. The room was clean and had almost everything I needed. I had coffee and sugar, but no coffee maker. Plenty of coffee in the lobby. If you do not eat gluten, the breakfast is very limited. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. Quiet too. I was near the front of the building and therefore, the road. I would stay here again for sure.
Staff was rude. I booked a one king size room and got put in a two twin bed room. No towels in room. I had to go ask and when I did such staff was rude about giving them to me. Area is a bit unsafe. Nothing but vending machines and they “offers free wifi” they don’t.
When I arrived at the hotel. I had to wait 2 hours to find another room, because my room was given to someone else. Staff claim that Expedia did not sent them the payment for the room. When given another room after signing another contract for payment.
