My family and I were driving cross country and pulled into the Howard Johnson late at night to sleep. In the lobby it seemed ok, the clerk was strange but I didn't think anything of it and booked our room. After getting the kids up the stairs we couldnt even get the door open. When we finally got in the... more

I agree with the others. This is certainly the worst motel I have stayed at, moldy smell in room, bathroom floor sagged. Sheets were clean, however. As another guest said, this place will probably be plowed under within 10 years. I don't think it has been updated since the 70s. Howard Johnson quality control is obviously horrible. more

This was by far the worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed at. This was planned 4 months in prior to staying. We always go to the annual Red Bud nationals (motocross race). Its an 8 hour drive to this place, what a let down. I was soon to find out how I would have rather camped in my truck at... more

Absolutely disgusting! The entire room was humid and damp (including the sheets!), the bathroom was atrocious, the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in who knows how long and there were cigarette burns on EVERYTHING. There were creepy people hanging out around the place which was very uncomfortable and the pool looked like it was likely festering with disease. The desk service... more

You don't want to stay here. The first room we were assigned reeked of urine. The second one smelled less, but had mold growing under the sink. I did not use the pool, but the kids said it seemed to be treated with salt instead of chlorine. We stayed for free because of their "best rate guarantee," but if you... more

Notre Dame football, need a close place to stay all very over priced. The HoJo's under $200.00. I booked it. Oh my goodness. Very dirty, not well maintained and in a questionable area of town. Of course during football season it is packed with other fans not knowing what to expect. Just plain gross more

This Howard Johnson's was poorly kept up and not very nice to stay in. The cost of the room was high, perhaps because of some Notre Dame event, and it was not worth it. The continental breakfast was fine, but we didn't like the look of the pool. Our door was very hard to open and close. In general, I... more

Having booked on Hotwire, my hotel purchase was nonrefundable if I cancelled. After reading the reviews, I was extremely apprehensive. While this HJ wasn't quite as bad as I expected from the reviews, it still was not up to standards. Very dated facility, Paint was peeling badly around the door in our room. The anchor for the door chain was... more

We stayed at this hotel for the UCLA /ND Game (2006). It is close to ND but that is the only nice thing I can say. The four rooms my family stayed in were unkept and unclean. The smell alone was enough to gag all of us. We will never stay there again! more
