First of all the “free breakfast” is only coffee. The place was filled with crack heads and it smelled like weed. The vending machine for the water didn’t work and my tv’s remote didn’t work. I mean come on man.

It's under renovations. The entire place smelled like mold or beer. Trash and construction debris everywhere. The worst thing was that ALL of the signs are for Norwood Inn and Suites. Nothing outside of the building says Howard Johnson's or Wyndham. The parking lot was a bit sketchy too. The only good point was that the bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean.
