Room cleaners/stockers never came once during my 4 night stay and I had no clean towels so when I asked for them they told me they didn’t have ONE and would come the next day in the afternoon so I couldn’t get anything before I left for the airport since they never came by once. The whole area is surrounded by homeless people and loitering people presumed to be about “that life”. HUGE cockroaches run around the area.

So the Howard Johnson is a nice property depending on what building you are placed in I was likely enough to be placed in building "A" which is the nicer side of the property and seems to be really well up kept overall for the single bedroom it was really well nice and really clean and while I've kept I was placed in the other building "D" as well I had two check-ins and building "D" seemed neglected, with that being said my stay here at the Howard Johnson was pretty acceptable and I did enjoy spending the night here to rest my head. I would probably be a little more selective in picking wood room and what building I would be placed in though.

My stay at the Howard Johnson was was decently nice although for the room I was put in was a dual two beds one room the room had corks with it like the fridge didn't work there was a splat of red stains on the carpet that were questionable! 😅 especially building "D" because the property has segmented buildings and something with building "D" seems that that building is neglected even with the elevators seem neglected. and the reason why I'm able to say this is because I had another reservation and they put me in building "A" and building a was much nicer and a much better room and was well more up kept.

Great staff and happy they had security. The only thing when we first got to the hotel it was a lot of homeless and gang member like men around the hotel on the street & room smelled like smoke. Other than that all was good.

Front desk receptionist speaks to you like you her

I will never stay here again. The people who work here are totally put out by helping customers. They are so rude. I booked an extra day and they refused to roll over my $100 security deposit. This is the only place I've ever known to do this. Instead they return your deposit back to your card (which takes 3-4days) and make you pay again separately. I figured it out why they do this. Because they didn't return my deposit to me for either night. This whole deposit thing is just a money making scam. You pay $200 for a $100 room.

Rooms were clean. Accessible to freeway. Too many transients walking around the property at all hours, some sleeping under stairwell of building C. At around 1 am someone aggressively tried to get into our room through front door despite our room being right by a camera. Called front desk and security parked in the parking lot but never came up to check on us to see if we were ok. We couldn't sleep for the rest of night and had an early start the next day. This led to a horrible experience.
