The beds were so hard and uncomfortable it was like sleeping on the floor. There was a coffee maker but there wasn't a pot or cup. Then curtains had something that was sprayed on them and ran down it.

So unnecessary

Sucked they wouldn't honor my reservation spent an hour trying to get it straightened out. The hotel made me pay twice. Went to the room. Pillows were a joke and the room smell of over fragrant cleaning solution was aweful. Went back to front for the refund from the hotel, they gave me theirs. Hotel .comm charged me too even though the hotel wouldn't honor it. I asked Hotel.com for a refund for the aweful experience and I never stayed in the room. They are thinking about it, but still haven't refunded me. I have used this app multiple times and never had a problem. Still waiting!

The front desk clerk had a very none caring attitude when I first walked in and maintained that attitude when I came back down to ask for a spare coffee cup for the morning coffee in my room since there wasn't any in my room, The clerk wouldn't even look up at me to see if I may need anything, he was just sitting there working on his computer and wouldn't bother looking up. I found a rodent droppings on my bed on the white sheets. I would have left the premises at that very moment if I were not too tired from my long drive. When initially I entered my room the light switch wouldn't work, I had to use my phone's flash light to find the switch on the desk lamp to be able to unpack. I made a promise not to ever book a room at Howard Johnson again.
