The building is showing its age. Needs updating. Not worth the cost

Room doors slam and it’s very noisy. Vending machine doesn’t work. What little breakfast food they had was awful. I will definitely not stay there again.

The hotel was comfortable and one of the more reasonable places we can take our 2 dogs over Christmas! The room was perfect with small fridge, ground level and comfortable bed. Coffee in the morning was good and all employee interactions were pleasant.

First, the woman that checked us in was very friendly and accommodating, but it’s all downhill from there. The non smoking room had clearly been smoked in, and recently. We were moved to a different room after the desk attendant went to the room to verify the smell of smoke. I had traveled with other people, so we had a total of three rooms. Room 104 has a round hole in the ceiling as well as a small round hole at the top of the wall… we figured it was a camera hole at some point. It was stuffed with what looked like tin foil. Why not spackle the holes shut and paint over them?? Needless to say, there was no disrobing anywhere but the bathroom. Room 103 has a hole the size of a football behind the door with clear packing tape over it… whatever good it was doing. The third room had hair on the bed sheets… beyond gross. The entire hotel needs a renovation or deep clean. There were some questionable guests that were up well into the middle of the night dropping expletives loud enough to hear through the walls. But, I know you cannot expect much with Ho Jo. Price, stars and location were also red flags, but the person I was traveling with had booked the rooms, Lesson learned!

We did not expect anything other than clean, repaired and safe. There were holes in the walls and ceiling some suspiciously looking like camera holes. Black mold in the shower. We have stayed there before, but never again.

Our family was NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE TRIP for Thanksgiving and the hotel refused to allow any refund. That is terrible business!! We will never stay at a Howard Johnson again. Greedy people!

Mold on the ceiling in the pool area. Paper thin walls. Too many noisy customers. AC and fridge in the room made rattling or high pitched noise. You could say the property is retro if you mean it has never been updated or repaired since it was built. Rooms were expensive because of state football so way overpriced.

Room walls are super thin. Heard a couple arguing all night long. Found two bugs within a couple minutes of emtering room. Pool is prerty small and just eh. Breakfast was okay. Had waffles, sausage, biscuits gravy, yogurt, toast, juice, etc.

Phone had an issue the whole time I was there where it would do this funny ring thing every 15 to 20 minutes and then got woke not once but twice with staff trying to get in my room because they thought I had checked out.

Have stayed here in past years. Seems to have gotten more wear and tear. The noise wasn’t controlled by management during the night. Loud talking, shouting, phone calls on speaker phone during the night. Yelling in the rooms, that could be heard on ours. Disappointing for the money spent.

Ok

There should be a chair for each person using the room. Just 1 chair for 2 people means one has to sit on the bed.
Breakfast was good.

They were sweet and allowed us to check in early but when I got there the lady at front desk was extremely unprofessional. When we came back that evening the front lobby was filled with marijuana smoke and there were people that looked homeless plugged into all the outlets in the hallway. The room itself was great with the exception of stains on the couch.
4.0
The retro design and old murals were a neat touch. The room was roomy and clean, the breakfast had decent options. Convenient location for our plans the next morning. Disappointing was the other guests smoking near the entrance when we arrived, and the smell of smoke stenched the hallway outside their room, though it was to be a non- smoking facility.
4.0
For the most part, it was good. What you expect in that price range. The staff were very helpful. Clean, and good shower. We slept well. Nothing fancy. Diner very close... parking list quite crowded.

The wall was literally falling apart in our room and they still expected me to stay there with small children and my dogs. It was disgusting and unsafe.

Pretty dated property. Stayed 2 nights, no maid service after first night. Not sure if that is standard now or not, it's happened to us twice this year at two different motels. Not a big deal to us really but would be nice to know in advance if that is policy. Nice restaurant across parking lot.

The parking lot is shared with a resturant that is busy all the time. The room did not have the ball latch that you can use to peek out the door when people knock.

Not good. Reservations were messed up even though i call them directly and verified tem. Hot water took 15 min to get with running sink and tub then in the shower it would jump from warm to cold and then burning hot. Bathroom electric outlet was dead. Bathroom ceiling light wouldn't work. Tv was horrible. Every 3-5 min the tv would loose signal. The tub looked like they caulked over mold. The desk person was not even at the desk, she was always doing laundry. We will not stay there again.

Our cards for the rooms stopped working twice which was inconvenient. The breakfast was very limited and in a cramped room. The pool said it was open at 8am, but both times we went the door was locked.

The hotel rooms were recently painted but that was it. The beds and bedding were old. The furniture was very worn out. Our room was extremely humid. Would not stay here again.

The pool was very cold. The place needs seriously undated. It smelled musty but appeared clean. Service was alright. We won't stay here again but it was ok in a pinch for the price.

Positives: This hotel is affordable and the beds were pretty comfortable. There is a pretty good restaurant next door.
Negatives: The water drained very slowly in the tub. The toilet handle had to be held down for awhile in order for it to flush. There was no one at the front desk when I arrived and left.
I don’t think I will stay there again.
