The front desk associate Tim was very helpful and professional. However this property needs a serious renovation. There was dirt on the walls and stains on the bed. I woke up with weird bites on my right arm. Housekeeping tried to enter my room 30 minutes before check out even though they could see me thru the window. The shower was good though and hot. Overall I would not stay again.

0/10-AWFUL-ROACHES

Worst hotel I’ve ever *almost* stayed at. Front desk shared all of my information out loud with others that were in the lobby waiting to be helped-my address & that I was the only adult traveling with young children. These are safety concerns & HIGHLY inappropriate, in my opinion. He was very overbearing & asked entirely way too many personal questions regarding my marital status, why I am single & how old my children were & where I worked. I’ve stayed at so many hotels & I’ve never once been asked these things. Got to the room & there were roaches everywhere, smelt terrible of just dirt & cigarettes, the bed was dirty with what looked like mold ?? The box springs were stained, the walls were brown & had various unknown substances on them. Kitchen smelt awful & had roaches crawling on the sink. Just so nasty. The pictures do not do it justice. I wouldn’t allow my dog to sleep there.

The staff was very kind. I was in town due to a illness in my family. I had to stay an extra night. The first night my air was not cooling properly so they moved me to another room so i would be comfortable. I really appreciated the effoirt they put in t making sure i was comfortable for the evening. I will stay here again.

First room they gave us had a puddle of water by the ac unit, I waked back to check the bathroom and water dripped on my head (was an overflowed toilet from room above ) They moved us to another room and when we walked in the floor was very dirty and had a strong odor of poop! We told one of the housekeepers and they came and did a quick clean up of the room and changed the bed sheets which should have been done already. Later that day the toilet stopped up and almost over flowed, had to get someone with a plunger to come and fix that. They advertised on website room coffee makers but there wasn’t one ( they gave us one then ). No breakfast at all but I wouldn’t have wanted to eat there anyway. At least no roaches. Wyndham should not associate their name with Howard Johnson’s. We booked 2 nites but left the next morning, was told by desk clerk they could not refund our money. Overall a nasty place to stay

NOT SAFE NOT CLEAN PICS ARE DECEPTIVE

Pictures are deceiving. Out of date furniture appliances. Non smoking room full of smoke. Crusty tobacco spit on dresser. No hot water after running water for 10 min. Room smelled like old ash tray. Sketchy people moving around in parking lot. Went to front desk to ask about hot water. Others were checking in and guy behind counter hollered “you’re in room 313 right?” I said “sir you just made it perfectly clear to strangers what room I’m staying in!!!!” We then left. It was horrible.

Hell Hotel

This isnt a howard johnson that i know. I wished i took pictures. When you arrive the check in is modern and up to date. So it felt good. We booked for the king suite non smoking. When the clerk gave us our room it looked a run down from the outside. Smelled like weed and it was live ins hanging aound the rooms. The cops came and arrested 2 ppl. I was totally confused. Inside was terrible, moldy, old, dirty. We asked for another room and we was giving a smoking room. I knew it was going to be a smell of some kind because of smoke but i wasnt expecting smoke and mold, dirty. Rhe bed felt like you was laying on boulders.The head board was ripped up toilet was disgusting. Behind it was filthy, mold in the corners. Wepaid for 5 nights and we couldnt get our money back. My advice dont stay there unless you want some drugs.
