this hotel was good for the price. front desk staff was extremely polite and helpful, and the beds were very comfortable. the air conditioning worked really well in our room. we didn’t use any of the extra amenities, so i can’t comment on those. there were some stray hairs left over in the towels and the shower, but the room was otherwise clean.

Thought the area was super convenient and had plenty around to do and see. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Checked in right at 3p and there was no one there but come around 4-4:30p when the restaurant opens it was full. Didn’t eat there but must be good with how many people were there just to eat. For a night or 2 I would definitely stay again and you can’t beat the price either.

You get what you pay for. It was a great price for the night but the hotel was very dingy and had a foul musty odor. The employees we interacted with were very nice and helpful but the hotel needs some major work and cleaning.

Blankets had yellow stains on them. The mattress had a maroonish stain on it. We asked for a different room due to the stains on our bedding and mattress and was told no. I asked to speak to a manager and was told no. I checked out 2hrs later and they witheld money for the whole weekend even though i left because the room was dirty and the pool was closed 2hrs early for no apparent reason. I will neverrr everrr reccommend this place and it should be listed as a motel.

The staff was very friendly, otherwise I would give it 1 star. I remember when Howard Johnson was the standard for nice accommodations, but this one seems to have furniture and carpet from long, long ago during the glory days. The wood furniture is very worn. The carpet in the office and hall smells like old mildew. The "light breakfast" was 2 types of cereal, milk, coffee, hot water, instant oatmeal packets and apple and orange juice. In fairness, the bed was very comfortable.
