The front desk staff was great. The first floor seems to be where they place the people with voucher (for homeless). Our first room was terrible; mirrors were dirty, stains on the sheets and blankets, dirty floors. half wiped off counters with food drips (i should have taken pictures) my daughter said the tub was dirty too but I didn't see that. The front desk guy was very concerned and changed our room to the 2nd floor. The room was still questionable (bed one stained sheet, bed 2 stained blanket) but smelled better and visibly looked better. We actually went to the store and bought disinfecting wipes and wiped down all high touch areas. We also needed to get towels, for a shower, from the front desk. No waffle or pancake machine (I thought I saw a pictures).

I stayed in a pet room, so maybe that contributed to the quality. Those are on the ground floor only. A little scary with the amount of transient people around. They did have security though. The room overall smelt bad, the furniture was damaged, wheels missing from office chair, and only one side table had outlets. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the property was quiet at night.

room was great, staff great, no complaints. breakfast was decent, id say they could improve there and not do skim milk scrambled eggs but im just nitpicking. if youre worried only about sleep and maybe food to get going again, this is a top pick.

Howard Johnson is a go to to most of the people looking for a good deal. The place itself is clean free of bugs. Yet; the reason of the people to continue coming as a vivid loyal and giving positive support are overpowers by just one person in front desk that changes not just my taste buds but to many. I am surprise other guess were talking about HIM and no one initiated the call out. For the homeless people might be OK because of the situation, But giving a chance, they will do the same . Someone needs to tell HIM that dispute for a cheaper price. WE ARE A GOOD PAYING GUESS . We are not a beggar nor asking for free stay. If no one can teach him a proper breading as a front desk, I suggest to transfer HIM to the back desk.

Older building, did not feel clean. Some stains on the nightshades, and overwhelming air freshener scent presumably to get rid of smoke from previous guests were the most notable signs. Beds were okay and the shower had plenty of hot water. Also there was a staff member who came to our door shortly after checking in for maintenance which was weird since we didn’t request anything. He came in to hang a no smoking sign on the bathroom mirror. We unfortunately had random people knocking on our hotel door at like 2am our first night. They kept knocking 5 different times presumably looking for the previous guests, and we didn’t feel safe answering the door. For the price, we weren’t expecting much and feel like we got what we paid for. Free breakfast was nice, albeit simple options.
