8/10 Good
"Room was clean, bathtub could use a regrouting but everything else very sterile appearing. Nothing luxurious but I needed a clean and safe location to stay for one night and this fits the bill just fine. Price was fair , pool was nice, coffee bagel and banana hit the spot in the morning. Again , nothing luxurious but got the job done for me. Pool area seemed nice but didn’t use it. Parking area well lit so didn’t need to be concerned, and, although a pain in the a$$, had to swipe the room key to go anywhere, which is good, I guess. You can tell this was an old Howard Johnson that was rehabbed."
