Even though the manager helped take the luggage to room, the staff was not diligent. phone line and clock unit "had no life" reported... but was not fixed in two days of stay. Grab and go break fast 6- 9 was a JOKE. Juice fountain was dry at 8:15... no replenishment. Same thing for muffins.. nothing to "grab and go' at 8:15 both days. Asked if more can be provided since its not the end of Grab and GO, a FLAT no. we felt cheated. you should disclose in your SALES website... Grab and till the supply lasts....to be fair. Understand it is low budget place....but no excuse for lack of maintenance of property and non disclosure. One elevator "out" only one by the lobby had permanent heavily dirty streak marks. Only one ice machine for 200 units in the building. Bed sheets were clean for sure!

Terrible Property!

Incorrect listing! This is a Wyndham property and they closed down the Howard Johnson side! There are two sides to the property, and Howard Johnson was on one side, and Travelodge was on the other. Travelodge took it over not good at all! A very rundown property, pictures were incorrect, didn’t accommodate us, not enough ADA parking, uncomfortable, cramped, bad breakfast, even for a ‘to go’! Was very disappointed since I knew what Howard Johnsons used to be like! In fact, it wasn’t Howard Johnson at all!

Room was nice and had been updated. Outside appearance of building was not updated and was actually kinda scary. Not a very safe neighborhood. Breakfast was a joke. Pick a cold danish and go. Since it was a Wyndham Howard Johnson I expected much better. The room was clean though.

Worst hotel ever

Poor security broken doors, was refused a receipt! We checked in on July 16th at 4pm and spent the next 2-3 hours asking hotels.com for help getting a refund and new accommodations, we checked out at 8pm on the same day and was refused a receipt at check out. Come to find out the lady never checked us out, luckily I called the morning of the 17th to make sure we were checked out!

We did not have a great stay at this place. We booked one night and needed to book a second and had a bad experience both nights. Cops were there on site both times we checked in for problems with guests who were staying. The first night we had some random guy banging on our door at midnight trying to get in our room. The area was very loud, cars beeping in the parking lot being towed, cops there frequently, kids running outside at 1am, etc. The second night we had someone try to get into our room again because they were given our room at 10pm after we were already asleep. Then the office came saying they had no record of anyone being in that room so we had to give them our information that we had already checked in. Our kids got scared both nights because of people trying to get into our room. There were homeless people and people doing drugs in the parking lot. Rooms were extremely dirty, windows were not safe, the door frame and lock had been busted off our second room and poorly fixed to wear the door didn’t close all the way. We had a terrible experience and do not recommend this place.

Will not go back.

Check in was fine. I was uncomfortable puttjng a parking pass in my car window that showed my room number displayed on it. Once in the room there were many repair issues. Dead bolt didnt work, bathroom door stuck badly, one bed was right against the ac unit. The "to go" breakfast was some horrible coffee with a few prepacked danishes and muffins on the front desk. It was nothing like a breakfast. Will not go back and do not recommend it.

The first room the bolt wouldn’t work on the door. The second room smelled awful. The third room was adequate until morning when there was a small roach on the bathtub. I left without showering. Breakfast was simply sweet rolls that are prepackaged and not very appetizing. I’m returning to Best Western where there are no roaches and great breakfasts.
