Our overall stay was good but the receptionist was rude. She needs to be retrained on her customer service skills. Her attitude was uncalled for. She was lucky I didn't jump over that counter and kick her arse!

The employees were lovely and very kind. They made sure we had everything we needed and double checked whenever they seen us to make sure we were having nice experience. The room was worn down with cracked paint peeling off the wall, cigarette burns on the walls and sheet, and the bed had only one pillow per person. The headboard had the vinyl ripping off that should just be replaced all together. The location was nice because it was very quiet and conveniently located in the city. Less than 20 minutes from amazing fishing spots. Id be back if the room was better put together.
Super old microwave that should be replaced. cost less than $70 for this model.

Property required a deposit, desk person asked for cash. I forgot to ask for the cash back in the morning. When I called the manager asked why I didnt ask for the depoait to be put on a credit card. I wasn't given that option and didn't appreciate being lectured when I dont work there and don't know their policies.

Never got room service for a 3 night stay. One shower towel had a bunch of brown stains on it so I left it on the floor and it was never replaced. Shower drain was covered in hair from previous guest. Key didn’t work 3 times. Had to go to lobby to have them fix it. First time they just gave me a different room. 2nd and 3rd times they reset the key. Guys at front had no customer service skills whatsoever. No apology or anything. Literally didn’t say more than “let me see your key.” The fan to the refrigerator would start and turn off every couple minutes and would make an extremely loud sound when turning off. I had to unplug it during the night which made all of our drinks warm by morning. I never leave reviews but this was an overall very poor experience and definitely won’t be staying at another Howard Johnson hotel again.
