Our television didn't work. Staff offered to replace it, but it was late and didn't want to have to deal with it. We shouldn't have had to, everything should be in working order when we check into our room. We have booked another stay with you next week and really hope that everything is in working order for us.

NEVER again
We chose this hotel because it was pet friendly and because of the Howard Johnson reputation. The first night room had mold along the tub and ceiling in the bathroom, the mattress was lumpy, the toilet ran off and on all night and there were scratches on the bathroom door. Since we had our dog, I reported everything to the front desk the next morning as we checked in late. I did not want them to say our dog damaged the door. They offered to change rooms, so we did. The mattress was much better in the second room but the bathroom still had some mold, the toilet in that room ran off and on too and the louvers on the air conditioner were broke. Someone spilled soda in the floor in the evening, reported it to staff and it was still there the next morning. There was also an old bar of soap on top of our shower wall. The second worst hotel i have ever had.

I enjoy staying at this hotel staff is awesome, breakfast is always great the breakfast lady is always on everything from cleaning to replenishing foods. My only issues are the people that smoke throught the hotel hallways or in their rooms the stench of the Marijuana is horrible and doesn't agree with our daughters asthma. Should have a smokers side on one side of the hotel and a non smokers on the other side. Because when walking to breakfast we have to walk through people smoking it's horrible for us non smokers. Yhat would be great to see happen. And the people with their dogs and pooping and not picking it up is so disgusting we normally get rooms in the front of te hotel because of these issues not sure what happened with the request this time around?

This hotel is not a good place to stay at. It was filthy dirty with dead roaches on the floor. The room had a very nasty smell also. I could not take my dog out to use the restroom because there was broken glass everywhere. We left after a 2-hr. stay. The plus side to this is they refunded our money.

Beware of Patricia
Our Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast had a good variety including waffles, delicious biscuits & gravy, sausage, eggs and there was plenty of space to sit. However, if you want or need rooms to be in close proximity of each other, talk to someone other than Patricia at the front desk. Patricia lied to us AND to our friends who also stayed there. The Only negative we had at the hotel, was dealing with Patricia.
