I booked a rm with my lil guy and we ended up getting switched to a different rm because my son was not old enough to be in a jaquuzzi. We get to the rm and it was so bad filled with mold and spider webs i walked in and right out very disappointed. She offers to give me the jacuzzi rm and it was alittle better but still filled with mold smelled awful, i do not recomend the lady at thr desk was very nice though!!

The room was a decent size and had a mini fridge and small microwave. The beds sagged in the middle. Was disappointed in the “breakfast”, it really was just packaged pastries, bagels bread and yogurts. So with having a gluten allergy there really wasn’t much to eat.

Pricey for a normal motel
Property was clean and comfortable. Biggest negative was that the curtain was not close enough to the window, so a light outside our room shined in all night. We were in room 221. Please consider adding blinds or blackout curtains that actually touch the window. Breakfast area was clean and cozy with a fireplace, but there were no hot options. Mostly bread items, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal packets and cereal. Overall, felt price was expensive for the accommodation we received

We were shocked to get back to our room after a full day away to find the hotel didn’t bother to clean or refresh the room. We called the front desk at 11 pm and they said they only clean rooms every third day. If we knew that, we’d have selected a different hotel.

The breakfast offerings were not good. The recliner chair in our room was very good! Had a little problem with our bill but a call back to the manager there resolved that right away. She was very responsive and helpful.

This is an old property which has had beneficial upgrades, but still has problems. The only access to the second floor is via outside stairways which look like they would be hazardous in winter conditions. Our mattress should have been replaced a decade or so ago. Housekeeping service is done on request. We asked for it on the 3rd and 5th day of our stay and they forgot the first day. We had to call the desk to have towels brought up. The place is quiet, the staff seem friendly.

The beds were not comfortable at all. Our family did not sleep well. In the morning, everyone woke up in the middle of the beds. The hotel staff were not friendly.

Property was average. It was decently clean and a place to lay your head, but nothing special. It definitely wasn’t worth the price with unfriendly service, an hour delay checking in and mosquitoes in the room.

My wife and kids recently stayed at this hotel. Keep in mind that she did have a reservation. She arrived 30 minutes early, room was not ready for the 3pm check in, that is understandable. They left and returned at 4:30, room was still not ready. She was then told it would be another hour. She left again and returned around 6:30 at which point the room was ready. When they entered the room it was clearly not cleaned. Beds were a unmade, a blanket was on the dresser, pillows on the floor, and the floor was clearly not vacuumed. The bathroom had no towels or shower curtain. She then went back to the front desk and informed the staff that the room was not cleaned. They told her there was another room being cleaned but would not be ready for another 20 minutes. She doesn't know when that room actually was finished because the staff never told her the room was done. At 8pm she once again went to the front desk and asked about the room. At this time, they said the room was indeed finished. By this point it was 5 hours past their 3pm check in time. My wife is not one to throw a fit so she kept her calm and never made a big deal about the issue, I would have made a very big deal about this if I were there. Also the staff never brought up the idea of any comps to make up for the 5 hour delay. At bare minimum I believe they should have credited her on the cost of the room for that night. Howard Johnson you dropped the ball big time and we will never return to your hotel again!!!
