Give me back my money Hotels.com!!!

I was not allowed to stay at the hotel. There was a major screw up and Howard Johnson said it was the fault of Hotels.com. It has been a very busy week. I spent 1.5 hours dealing with. Hotels.com trying to resolve the issue on the day of my arrival. Please contact me ASAP If you want my business in the future.

Not worth the cost. Felt like an $80 stay for $300

It was really over priced. Dated rooms. Bed was broken in center. I wouldn’t expect to pay almost 300 for such a cheap motel experience. Breakfast was like a dollar store. Not worth it.

2nd floor landing filthy. Food, old bandaids, rusty stairs. Our room was spacious and clean except some towels had old make up stains on them. Tissue box had 3 tissues in it. Employees seemed like tired robots.

We reserved over two months ago and somehow ended up in room 101, right next to the office. It was a handicap accessible unit - which we did not ask for or need. The room had only one nightstand and the bathroom had no door! There was a door between the back half - the microwave and refrigerator and the bathroom, toilet, sink and shower were all in one area. Uncomfortable to say the least.

The first room we were in had toilet issues and an extremely loud fan noise in bathroom. It also had a strange odor. The next morning we talked to the desk who moved us to another room which was much better. The bathroom fan was quiet and there was no odor.

It was ok. Cleanliness wasn't great, hair in the shower and sink. Broken outlet cover and questionable outlet behind the bed. The check in time on the confirmation said 3:00 but the sign at the hotel said 4:00. When the employee came into the lobby I was able to check in due to my room being ready. Probably wouldnt stay there again.

This is an older property but the room was very large and back from the main road. Thus fairly quiet. Clean. Bed gold. Tv , internet and desk all fully functioning. Lots of outlets. Great water pressure in shower. Furniture old and worn. Staff were very helpful and informative. Overall excellent and good value

The swimming pool was just what was needed. Quiet, private, and, old growth roses are blooming and smell divine. I wasn’t sure where to get an appropriate swim towel, so I used the one from my room. An unexpected mallard flew in to share the pool with me. Loved it!
