The first room had no hot water in the bath rub. I was provided a 2nd room. For two nights the queen bed was a total of $169.00 but i was charged $259.00. This is $90.00 dollars extra. Can you let me what the $90.00. Was this a security deposit that should have been credited back. The room was left clean

Do not stay here! It's billed as a Howard Johnson's but is really a residential motel with staff from the casinos living there. The noise level is incredible, and we left in the middle of the night.

Worst place to stay ever

Shady hotel with homeless and druggies around all hours of the next. Door didnt fit the frame so light and sound came in all night. It was so sketchy that I had to sleep with my gun in my hand to feel safe.

The rooms are dirty, bed and sofa have stains. The staff were terrible. The same day a check in I checked out, because of how dirty and the small that the room has was terrible. When I was trying to talk to a manager, so I can get refunded there was no manager in property. The front desk staff only provide with a number to call the next day and when I call the next day in the morning they told me again that there was no manager at the property. I call for a few day and no answer and when they finally answer the staff was very rude. I will not recommend this hotel. If I could get negative starts I will.

It would be be a lot better to have a casino room on the bottom floor for guest to play and the rooms could be a little bigger for walkers or wheel chair access. Breakfast could of had proteins and not so much sweet stuff. Fruit and protein. Everybody was super nice and respectful. Thank you for the stay will do it again some day.
