The place is skanky and run down. Ripped carpet, dirty walls, the halls smell like weed and sweat. But… the room (though shabby and worn out) was relatively clean and I slept well.

This place was honestly not safe to be in. As soon as we walked in the room we knew we had to get a different hotel. The carpet was peeling up from the floor. Nothing had been swept in a really long time. The place smelled like smoke and there was mold in the bathrooms. I didn’t feel comfortable putting my stuff in the room.

This was absolutely the most disgusting, dingy, nasty hotel I have ever step foot in. The front desk was dusty and the whole building reeked of cigarette smoke and trash!! We went around the back to get to our room, entered the building and there were bags of trash all over the place and a trash strung about the steps and hallway.

The hotel was in the must of renovation. Nothing like what you see on the site. Floor stain and dirty. Haven't been vacuum or sweep in forever. Bed sheets nasty so being your own. Towels had stains on them. Good crumbs on draws and in microwave. Toilet seat coming apart so sit with caution. Shower had hair looked like someone had recently shaved. Load music throughout the night. Prostitutes everywhere. The whole experience was horrible after a 16 hour drive

The entire check in process was horrible. First room was not cleaned with cigarettes everywhere, I tried 4 other rooms that were also not clean and come under maintenance. The agent had to make a master key to try to find a clean room. The one I settled on had dead roach, filthy iron, bathroom door was broken, bed was stained and floor was not cleaned. Horrible stay!

It doesn’t serve breakfast, which is the main reason I selected the hotel. It has layers of dust on the drawer, doors have chunks missing, drawer handles missing, no phone available in the room, water rotted wood, a huge roach was in the bathroom, shower not clean, there was a dirty wash cloth that was hanging on the shower rod, hallways and stairs had trash, sticky floors. We had to ask for a trash can for the room. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The name did not say Howard Johnson. If this was bought out by a new brand, they are definitely giving the Howard Johnson a bad reputation.
Towels looked like they were folded by a child and a filthy rag left behind
Huge bug in the bathroom.
Piles of dust on cabinets, drawers, and desk.
Hallway full of trash.
