Truly a dive. If you are ok with that, you’ll be fine. We saw a couple suspicious bugs, but couldn’t quite identify them. They looked to us like baby cockroaches, but not sure. A/C was completely ineffective. Other residents had concerning behavior. One man outside our door was talking loudly to himself and moving erratically. Law enforcement was on the premises right after we arrived. Shower water was impossible to adjust to anything other than freezing or scalding. We ended up leaving due to feeling unsafe from other residents/passersby, and because of the bugs.

Very unsafe would not stay there ever again. Ladies in the front office were excellent. The room was nice and clean except for nasty dirty paint on the wall and bathroom door cracked and split. Toilet and tub extremely old. Way overpriced

This place is so disgusting we left and actually stayed elsewhere. There were cockroaches in the bathroom, linens were staines, front door didnt wven fit right, had a 2 inch gap at bottom. The actual howard johnson lobby is closed and we had to check in at the travel lodge. That lobby is so run down. No breakfast as advertised, wifi didnt work. Homeless living in parking lot and people smoking weed in parking lot

I've never stayed at Howard Johnson before but this was definitely not one of the best rooms I've stayed in. The Tv did not work and when we called the front desk there was no one available to come fix it. The bathroom door did not close. We had 2 rooms and both rooms had the same issue. We found bugs in the shower on two separate occasions. It overall was a disappointing experience.
