The beds are awful. Hotel was disgustingly gross. Way to much money for what they offer . The pool looks like its been broke for a few years. Your better off staying at a motel 6. Won't ever stay at a Howard Johnson hotel again

This was by far the most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. There was honestly fecal matter in the tub, brown stains on the bed and the towels had black hairs all over them as if they had not been washed, just folded and rehung. I complained about the room and it fell on deaf ears. The staff offered... More

This is definitely a budget hotel. However, after reading some of the previous reviews I was expecting much worse than what it turned out to be. It did have some obvious issues. For example, there were visible stains all over the carpets in the hallways. It looked liked someone had inadvertantly used a bleach on the carpet. It was tacky... More

I have stayed in this hotel twice and had an absolutely horrible experience both times. The first time was the night of my wedding in 2008. It was the hottest day of the year, over 100 degrees, and the AC was broke in our room. Even worse, 2 of my bridesmaids had snuck down to the hotel with roses and... More

The front counter was helpful at check-in. Very personable. The room was average, clean and the bed was comfortable. The pool is thier hidden gem, 2-8 feet deep with an island in the middle for lounging, it is a very large pool. Breakfast is not great.
