The hotel was clean, but needs definite updating. It needs a little updating because it’s old.

Horrible
The service desk was not friendly she did not say anything not sure if there was a language issue. The room was out-dated and dirty hair was on the side of the bed, the bed frame was dirty, and the bathroom tub was old. No breakfast!! this should be called a Motel on the website. It's giving Howard Johnson a bad name, I been to several different hotels with this name, but this is one should not be listed as it is. Website is deceiving located in a bad area..

2/10 Poor

The floor was very dirty and sticky to the feet. There was rather strange activity at the location, loud and noisy at night from activities in other rooms through the night. It appeared that some sort of prostitution was taking place, and on Saturday night was the worst, girls back and forth with loud heel shoes as they walked to rooms somewhere. The room was extremely humid and uncomfortable; upon inspection, the AC unit was full of mold and dirt. It felt uncomfortable going to and leaving the car as there seemed to be people in cars just watching you/ or waiting for something. At one point, the police had someone removed from the lot. but did not appear to have a permanent effect later in the days there. Overall I would never stay there. Attempts to clean the place seem there, such as freshly painted building etc. but the rest is not there just yet. this is a 60$ a night type place.

The stay was okay, just free things here and there. Rooms not cleaned because they were too busy. Random smells to drugs around. Not a pleasant experience

Stay away for your safety! I don’t know what they use to clean the rooms, but my room had a very sharp chemical smell, and I got a headache and couldn’t even breathe well! There is no fresh air inside the room and no air conditioner! When I requested to change my room, they said they use the same chemicals for all rooms. I also don’t know what was inside the pillows that made them so hard and uncomfortable! They were so small, and it made my night even worse to stay awake and get neck pain! There is no breakfast; it is a scam! They only have coffee! Be careful if you want to book a place with breakfast included; this is not the place to stay!

The first room we got had a dirty sink and the room smelled like cigarettes. We then moved to a different room and that one had dirty water left around the toilet. The overall state of both rooms did not feel or look clean.

Dirty and rusty, tile floor broken, towel rack rusty towels were dirty. Noise all night. Floor were dirty and lamps and hair dry were full of dust. Bed was ok, but sheet had small spots that looked like blood or soiled. Did not used the just pushed them to the side. Not a family oriented place to stay.

2/10 Poor

This is misleading, HJ’s may have some hotels but this one is a motel and misleads someone to think they are booking a room at a mid range property. Not. The elevator only operates in the day, the room spelled of pot, no carpet, the Uber driver divulged the ladies of the night work here and minimal amenities. Wouldn’t have stayed if it wasn’t midnight when I arrived.
