Pretty disappointing
Various hairs, not mine all over in bathroom, no stopper in sink. No dispenser for toilet paper just sat on ledge, splashes of stuff on the wall. Drug dealsnoutnof another room fri nite and what sounded like a porn shoot above me sat nite for 90 minutes then 4 people left the room empty 1:30 am. Daily breakfast offered was coffee, sunny D and a tiny granola bar. Not doing again there

Sliding Mattress
If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

Bathroom sink backed up
On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.

I'm very surprised that Howard Johnson would put their name on it. Must be recieving substantial payments for the name. Our visit was a emergency visit to the area otherwise I would have requested a refund and stayed elsewhere. Room wasn't entirely cleaned after last guest. Never stay again!
