Bathroom was Pretty Dirty. Hairs on the wall some kind of Brown Guck on the shower shelf. Dirty Kleenex n napkins in the drawers. Dirty Microwave also was a Used Coffee Pod left in the machine. Cleaning girl was Impatient to get to our Room n left her cart right outside the door a when told her How Dirty the room was she didn’t say Anything. Just shrugged her shoulders. Not a Very Polite or Professional Worker

This was my third stay in one month. First two were good. We liked the small upgrades that made the rooms feel more put together and modern. We stayed in two different rooms the first times with no issues aside from the fact that the internet barely works if your not close to the office (since they know this they shouldn’t be able to advertise there accommodations as having wifi) On our third trip we stayed in room 26 and both beds were horrible. My husband and I tossed and turned all night. I myself became very sore and woke up like I had been beat with a stick in the ribs and back. Very disappointing.

Front desk clerk (Filipino girl) was excellent to deal with very professional & courteous. Extremely disappointed in the condition & cleanliness of the hotel. What was displayed on the website did not even come close to what the room and decor were like. The website was a false misrepresented of what to expect and i would not stay here again nor would I recommend it to my worst enemy. We found dead bugs on the floor, the coffee machine still had the previous customers coffee pod in the machine and you could tell the machine had not been cleaned for a while. The bathroom was bathtub was disgusting it was old stained and the caulking was a disgrace. The floor in the entire room was uneven, hollows and dips not to mention the leak and the mold underneath the AC unit. Would not recommend this motel to my worst enemy. Not good was to represent the Howard Johnson Chain.

Room was srinky and damp. No coffee in the room. Floors were dirty, my feet were black. Beware they charge $50 extra for any dirty dishes. The sign was tucked behind the microwave. For the price i felt it was unexpectable.
