“Bed Bug City!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2010

I've never encountered bed bugs before, so I didn't know what was going on. My waist and ankles were bitten up pretty bad. After taking a hot shower, I called the front desk to have housekeeping clean the place. Don't bother asking for another room because I'm sure they're in all the rooms.

For whatever the reason, the hotel sometimes gives out complimentary beer to your door. Strange, I know. Anyway, I drank one just out of curiousity and ended up breaking out in hives. Unbelievable. Out of countless years of alcohol consumption, I've never had any reaction to it other than becoming drunk. Was Howard Johnson trying to get rid of me? It sure felt like it.

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2010

I had the worst time here. I stayed from the 2nd to the 5th, and I promise that not once did they change the sheets, the towels, and even the foam cups. Some days the trash was not thrown out and other days there was no hot water. Since I rented two connecting rooms, my friends complained about the same things including that their bathroom did not flush. I stayed here in January, where the temp dropped dramatically, but since we are from up North, we are used to this type of weather. But the AC had its own temp, we couldnt change it and only the heater would come on.

I never write reviews but I just hope that someone takes my advise on this hotel so that they dont have to go through what my friends and I had to. Dont get me wrong, I love this city. But I will never stay again in this hotel.

  • Liked — I chose this hotel because it wa downtown and close to a small shopping center
  • Disliked — The rude staff, the slow internet, and the fact that our two rooms where never clean
