4/10 Fair

Pretty disappointing
Various hairs, not mine all over in bathroom, no stopper in sink. No dispenser for toilet paper just sat on ledge, splashes of stuff on the wall. Drug dealsnoutnof another room fri nite and what sounded like a porn shoot above me sat nite for 90 minutes then 4 people left the room empty 1:30 am. Daily breakfast offered was coffee, sunny D and a tiny granola bar. Not doing again there

Sliding Mattress
If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

Bathroom sink backed up
On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.

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..

Beth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms were filthy. Urine and hair on the bathroom floor around the toilet. Towel rack was broken off the wall. And out of the 5 rooms I reserved 3 of them smelled like cannabis. And after turning on my air conditioner for an hour then my room smelled like cannabis. It smelt like the filters haven’t been changed in years. I’m no hotel manager but I even know that’s not the way a $205/night room should look or smell. When I asked for a refund the child at the front desk said if we had a problem with the room we should’ve said something when we checked in. Who wants to make a complaint about a room at 11:30 pm when just getting off the freeway. For a Wyndham property I expected better and as someone who regularly schedules trips for groups we’ll NEVER stay at this hotel ever again.

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
