Bad experience

The room was out dated. Looked like they barely cleaned it other than the beds. The tub took 30 plus min to drain after a shower. The app said it had a microwave and didn’t have one in the room. The security door lock chain was broken and only half there. The spa was not working and pool looked dirty. At check in the the front desk asked for my id and deposit and talked o. The phone to someone in another language.

Arrived later than expected so I’m sure they initially just gave me what was available. The 1st room was DIRTY! The bathroom had stains and holes in the wall, the ac was loud and the room smelled “old”. Then we found a spider in the shower. I asked to switch rooms and the gentlemen was nice enough to accommodate us however the upgrade wasn’t that much different. I had to go to the local store and purchase my own cleaning products. I will give credit for the breakfast offered daily, the waffle station was a nice and needed added touch. Also there’s a $100 deposit you probably won’t get back. Please beware.

We booked a stay at the Howard Johnson but decided not to check in after seeing the condition of the hotel and room. The property was nothing like the listing described. There was a strong mold smell throughout the hotel and room, the bathtub would not drain, and the flooring was lifted and damp. The furniture was broken and torn, and overall everything felt dirty and poorly maintained. We did not feel comfortable or safe staying here and had to make other arrangements. I would not recommend this property based on our experience.
