A simple place to rest

I’ve stayed here many times. Everyone is very nice and the place is very clean for the price they charge. It is a comfortable place to rest after visiting family also the Chinese buffet next door is the best I’ve ever had! The location is easy to get to off the thruway Which is a big plus for me. They do also serve coffee and a small breakfast!

Bed comfortable. They put us in room around outside of the u it, next time would ask for courtyard room so there would be a place to sit outside. It was a bit breezy so pool was locked up, seems like a nice pool area!

The smell of the room made me feel like I didn’t want to eat and for the morning breakfast, I went down the street to McDonald’s! Bed was comfortable, but there was no blankets! Just a top sheet! There is a sash at bottom of bed, I thought it was a blanket folded and then I realized it was just a decoration. Price was good just to be able to rest though before travelling again. For a Howard Johnson hotel, it was definitely NOT the Howard Johnson of yesteryear.

The housekeepers were not friendly. That’s the only think I had a problem with. I wanted to make my own bed and things and they just like didn’t want me to take the sheets. Plus they didn’t give me everything I needed either. It was only a couple of things, for a fitted sheet.

You get what you pay for. The first night there was no bath towels but housekeeping rectified it this next day. The bath didn’t hold the water for a nice soak after a long day traveling, it quickly drained despite closing the drain. I’m a Brit I like the option of a bath, that’s a immediate dislike from me.
