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

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.

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.

The hotel was clean, but needs definite updating.
It needs a little updating because it’s old.

The service desk was not friendly she did not say anything not sure if there was a language issue. The room was out-dated and dirty hair was on the side of the bed, the bed frame was dirty, and the bathroom tub was old. No breakfast!! this should be called a Motel on the website. It's giving Howard Johnson a bad name, I been to several different hotels with this name, but this is one should not be listed as it is. Website is deceiving located in a bad area..

Staff charge 100 deposit and your advertising says 50 no continental breakfast and the refrigerator in the room was making to much noise I was planning to stay another night and I changed my mind I don’t recommend for this price I can stay at motel 6

The rooms were filthy. Urine and hair on the bathroom floor around the toilet. Towel rack was broken off the wall. And out of the 5 rooms I reserved 3 of them smelled like cannabis. And after turning on my air conditioner for an hour then my room smelled like cannabis. It smelt like the filters haven’t been changed in years. I’m no hotel manager but I even know that’s not the way a $205/night room should look or smell. When I asked for a refund the child at the front desk said if we had a problem with the room we should’ve said something when we checked in. Who wants to make a complaint about a room at 11:30 pm when just getting off the freeway.
For a Wyndham property I expected better and as someone who regularly schedules trips for groups we’ll NEVER stay at this hotel ever again.

The floor was very dirty and sticky to the feet. There was rather strange activity at the location, loud and noisy at night from activities in other rooms through the night.
It appeared that some sort of prostitution was taking place, and on Saturday night was the worst, girls back and forth with loud heel shoes as they walked to rooms somewhere.
The room was extremely humid and uncomfortable; upon inspection, the AC unit was full of mold and dirt.
It felt uncomfortable going to and leaving the car as there seemed to be people in cars just watching you/ or waiting for something. At one point, the police had someone removed from the lot. but did not appear to have a permanent effect later in the days there.
Overall I would never stay there. Attempts to clean the place seem there, such as freshly painted building etc. but the rest is not there just yet.
this is a 60$ a night type place.

The stay was okay, just free things here and there. Rooms not cleaned because they were too busy. Random smells to drugs around. Not a pleasant experience

Stay away for your safety!
I don’t know what they use to clean the rooms, but my room had a very sharp chemical smell, and I got a headache and couldn’t even breathe well! There is no fresh air inside the room and no air conditioner! When I requested to change my room, they said they use the same chemicals for all rooms.
I also don’t know what was inside the pillows that made them so hard and uncomfortable! They were so small, and it made my night even worse to stay awake and get neck pain! There is no breakfast; it is a scam! They only have coffee! Be careful if you want to book a place with breakfast included; this is not the place to stay!

This is misleading, HJ’s may have some hotels but this one is a motel and misleads someone to think they are booking a room at a mid range property. Not. The elevator only operates in the day, the room spelled of pot, no carpet, the Uber driver divulged the ladies of the night work here and minimal amenities. Wouldn’t have stayed if it wasn’t midnight when I arrived.

The first room we got had a dirty sink and the room smelled like cigarettes. We then moved to a different room and that one had dirty water left around the toilet. The overall state of both rooms did not feel or look clean.

I liked how the staff was nice and friendly. I didn’t like how there was illegal activity going on in the rooms.
