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

Not what it looks like in the pictures and as soon as you walk in the lobby it smelled. I paid for the room ahead of time through a 3rd party. So we checked in and walked in the first room. Part of the forcible entry lock was missing, as well as it smelled like cigarettes. I asked for a refund but was told they could not provide a refund and was offered another room. This room also had a different part of the forceable lock missing. The gentleman working assured me that no one else has a key to my room and it would be fine. I said absolutely not because it almost looked kicked in. We were offered a third room where all devices were there, but the room was just not clean. It gave off a very “trafficking” feel. At this point I was willing to lose the money I had already paid and checked out at this location. I went 5 minutes down the road and paid $29 more for another beautiful hotel with a 4 star rating that gave us a welcome gift, clean beautiful room, pool, and great breakfast. The only positive thing to mention about this property is that the manager was understanding, polite, and offered to help me get my money back.

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.

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.
