Room was dirty and odorous, sheets dirty, shower was not cleaned and had dirt in the walls, no hot water, phone didn’t work! Ceiling was falling apart huge area with cement and paint chips! Staff was very rude when notifying them of the conditions. They said they could not refund me because I had been in the room for 1 hour which in reality it had been 25 min!! Noisy room next to us kept me up on and off till 4 am!! Very disappointed I will never stay at the hotel chain again!!

We opted for the King Suite, but we did not get what we booked. We arrived to the Howard Johnson in Waterloo Iowa where we were directed to suite 114. We entered the suite and it reeked of cigarette smoke. We didn’t set our bags down because we knew that the suite wouldn’t be sufficient. We looked around the room and also found a cigarette underneath the king bed frame. My husband went back out to the front desk and explained the situation. The front desk clerk at the Howard Johnson verified that the room wasn’t acceptable and then checked for a replacement room. She also made a comment that their cleaning staff generally didn’t do a good job, but there was nothing they could do about it. The clerk said that they didn’t have any more suites available so she offered for us to downgrade. Howard Johnson said they couldn’t refund the price difference because we booked through a third party. We said we would think about it and went to dinner. We knew we didn’t want to downgrade, but we wanted to be sure of our options. While at dinner we started a conversation with Expedia’s customer service to see if canceling the Howard Johnson was an option. We explained the situation and Expedia seemed to understand and said to rebook at a new hotel and that they would give us a full refund. Expedia is now refusing to give us a refund.

Hotel needs updated for sure. That said, I've stayed at many hotels that were older but this one also needs a deep, deep cleaning. Overall not a good stay but also things like food left in the refiderator and bathroom not clean made it that I can't recommend this place to anyone else.

Everything that was supposed to be clean was clean. Facilities definitely need upgrades. Beds were very uncomfortable and you can tell they are just worn out. Mine sunk in the middleand gave me a backache.

Six night stay was too long
We stayed six nights. We needed a handicapped room or at least ground floor as there was no elevator on site. Stairs and toilet were my major concern so I brought a mobility rail that goes around the toilet to help me stand up. The toilet was so low it didn’t help, and we ended up going to Walmart and $43 later took home a raised toilet seat. Thankfully, I had taken my own shower chair. They served a free breakfast from 5am-9am which consisted of biscuits, gravy, sausage, make your own waffle, yogurt, toast, English muffins. Orange juice, apple juice, coffee. There were no eggs or fresh fruits offered. I never saw an attendant in the breakfast area. People were wiping their own tables with paper towels before using. The menu never changed. When we checked in, we were told there was a $100 charge added to our credit card as a damage deposit and also reminded theirs was a no smoking facility. I’m not so sure that was true. Everywhere we went up and down the hallway, the stench of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. It was also apparent that most of the staff smoked as well. They also allowed pets, with an additional deposit. We had dogs in two rooms near us, and they were barking almost constantly. We didn’t say anything as we have dogs of our own, but most people wouldn’t be as gracious. The hallway carpeting was filthy and should have been replaced. The tile floor in our room felt very sticky. And our desk chair leg was broken. Probably wouldn’t stay here again unless we had to
