Where to begin! We arrived to the front desk clerk on the phone with corporate billing and did not even acknowledge us for atleast 2-3 minutes. Then she stated it would be a few minutes. We waited approximately 15 minutes before she checked us in. She could had put corporate on hold and checked us in as ut only took 1minute to do so. While we waited I asked if there was a restroom to use, after our 4 hr. drive, she just threw up her hand and pointed in a direction behind her. I walked thru the lobby looking aimlessly for a restroom. To my surprise another guest told me where it was because there was no bathroom sign on the door. Once we finally got checked in, we went to our room and to our surprise, our rooms temperature was 60°f. I went to turn the heater on and the heating unit did not even work. We packed our stuff back into our bags and went back to front desk only to find a line of 3 guest waiting. Another 10 minute wait and we asked to get a room with a working heater. Clerk assinged us to another room, and to.our surprise, it was a double bed room, not a king as we reserved. But the heat worked so we accomadated. Well I wish we hadnt and just left to another hotel. The ckerk stuck us in a room directly between an active working prostitute that had several men coming and going every 30 minutes like clock work. Then in the other room beside us, there was a gentlemen dealing drugs, people coming and going every 10-15 minutes up until 2 am in the morning. ONLY 1500 WORDS

It was listed that breakfast is included, but actually it isn’t. The bathroom door was broken, my son couldn’t come out after closing the door, and the hotel staff was not able to open the door either. The building is run down, visibly in the middle of renovation and can’t feel comfortable. Most horrible experience as a hotel.

Place was not as pictured. Rooms looked to have had roach infestation bcause there were few dead bodies. The hotel was not a Wyndham standard, i booked 2 nights because of the name but i will have second thoughts in the future booking anything from Wyndham. I just stayed 1 night even though i paid for two.

Look before you pay! You'll probably leave.

If we hadn't paid the non-refundable rate, we would have walked out right away. It was in a scary neighborhood. The check-in counter was behind a wall of glass with a little tray to slide your ID through. If they don't trust the people in the neighborhood what does that say to the clients coming in. The lady behind the desk was sort of friendly. She didn’t talk much. Concerning the room: it was nothing like the picture on the website. It was very small. The bed was made well but uncomfortable, as were the pillows. There were long black hairs around the bed and in the bathroom. The mirror was so scratched it was hard to see your face in it. The outside of the room looked like it was on a loading dock with all sorts of stuff lying around -- chairs, pieces of carpet, old cabinets, etc. When we came back from dinner at night it was dark and hard to tell where we were going. Just plain scary! The ice machine and other machines were not working. There was only coffee available in the breakfast room. When we ask about both these problems we were told it was because they were renovating. If you can't afford to keep up the hotel during renovation it shouldn't be open to the public. The morning staff was friendly but that doesn't make up for the terrible condition of the hotel. I will never stay at a Howard Johnson's again!

The motel is run down and needs a lot of TLC. The guy at the counter informed me that there was a $100 deposit, I was surprised due to the condition the building was in, I’m unsure how much worse it can get. Staff was friendly for the most part but when I went to check out in the morning, the young male had a pillow on the counter and he was sleeping, very unprofessional. I couldn’t wait to check out and be out of there. Also, the doors kept getting jammed and were a struggle to open.
