Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Where do I begin!? WORST HOTEL I ever stayed in!!!! The bathroom door did NOT shut, the slider door on the first floor did not lock (the lock mechanism came out and went nowhere) and there was a j hook on the floor to lock it (super sturdy 🙄), had to place the suitcase rack against the j hook to feel somewhat secure, not to mention it was the first floor where anyone could potentially enter. The blanket was flimsy and there was a huge hole in the sheet. The shower curtain had holes in it too. There was an argument/fight in the hallway as well. I would NEVER again nor let someone I know stay at a Howard Johnson based on my 1-night experience at this location!

Comfy and clean

It was a comfortable and clean room and the staff was friendly and helpful. There was an odor of smoke and marijuana in the hallways that would permeate our room. It wasn’t enough to have to leave but it was each day we were there.

Little disappointed.

Well there should have been an elevator for the otherside of the building. Certain things were missing from the room. Towels should be available 24/7 not just from 9am to 4pm.
