I stayed here for two nights for the ACC championship game. Most of the hotel seemed to be fans in town for the game. Did not have any of the problems of some of the negative reviewers below. The night desk clerk was very responsive and even provided us with assistance when some other motel guests tried to steal a... more

We stayed here prior to our cruise. Our guidlines "if it's got clean sheets and secure" it'll be fine. The hospitality was superb, close to stores, restaurants and it's just a quaint motel. Sure there's a stip joint across the 4 lane street and down the block but never noticed anything out of color. The room was clean and didn't... more

When we read the recent reviews, we thought that this hotel would be okay for a one night's stay. We were given a room on the ground floor and as other reviewers have commented, experienced the noisy air conditioner and barely slept--we finally turned it off and slept on top of the bed and cracked the window. To make matters... more

on the outside the place looks dated. then you get to your old dated room. the a/c rattles and shakes all night. then at about 1 am you wake up to customers partying and slamming doors till 4 am in the morning. whats even worse is that on the third day I found bite marks all over my lower torso... more

I should have guessed when the so-called "shuttle" van showed up late with the passenger side window broken and the door's inside panel ducktaped together and an $8 one-way fee. Didn't know I was going to the seedy side of town with nudie clubs and Budda Bing across the street. The room was smelly, dirty, an AC that blew freezing... more

Where do I start? This was the worst stay i have ever had. The hotel is surrounded by strip clubs and sex shops. There were shady cars driving/cruising around the parking lot. The room was disgusting. It was dirty, cigarette burns on the blankets, and the smelly. more

I really don't see why this has gotten so many bad reviews. The negatives: it is located in the strip club district next to a liquor store and it has no elevator. Everything else was more than adequate. There was no noise, it was steps away from Wal-mart, Best Buy, Target, K-mart and the stadium. There are many restaurants located... more

My friend and I stayed here the night before going on a cruise. It is not as bad as others have posted. I got to the hotel about 7:00 p.m. and the free shuttle service from the airport was easy and convenient. There are several "strip" clubs nearby but the Howard Johnson was quiet the whole night. The room although... more
