It began with the room rate. On the internet, it said best rate would be given, and it showed a rate of 58.00 a night plus tax. Well, that sounded fair to me, but, when we got there, the front desk clerk would not give us a rate any lower than 75 and she would not take my triple A... more

Hotel stunk... I had to go by a candle to get rid of the combination of sewer and dirty feet... I was stuck and had to stay there due to a situation beyond my control. No maid service. Hotel staff reasonalbe at night, not overly friendly... Morning staff is stuck up and rude. Bad area... Also, the curains were ridiculous...... more

Having read some of the reviews here on TripAdvisor I was dreading my stay at this motel. I travel frequently and have stayed in both budget and luxury hotels many times, but some of the reviews here made it sound really bad! I suspect that they have changed management and remodeled since those reviews were written, because the room was... more

Two-story buildings with external access. We checked in with a friendly, cooperative receptionist. The first room we requested for its quiet location was at the very back of the motel, and faced away from both Route 167 Valley Freeway and the main road 84th Ave S – Central Ave. N. We found that it had been “unofficially” used, so the... more

This place is a disaster area. We checked into room 147, and as soon as we opened the door, the door trim was laying on the floor with the nails sticking through. Out of the three lights available in the room, only one was functioning. The paint was peeling off the wall in the bathroom. And there were cigarette burns... more

The motel was just your average sort of place until I tried the shower. At first I could not get any hot water to come out. After experimenting with the faucet for about 15 minutes I finally got some warm water, only to find that it started to turn cold one minute later...then it went hot, then warm, then cold...then... more

This is, without exaggeration, the dirtiest hotel I have ever seen. The first room was so bad, I wasn't allowed to see inside it. In the second room, the sink had been taken apart, with the parts laying around the bottom. The third room I was taken to looked like a crime scene - blood was splattered on the wall... more

Our first room was not cleaned and smelled like a 5 day old ashtray. Our second room was clean but also smelled like cigarette smoke under some floral air freshener. These were both labled non smoking....but having been a smoker at one time, I can tell you that these rooms had been smoking rooms for quite some time. If the... more

i had made a mistake online with the nights to stay because i wanted to stay more but the front desk manager kindfully told me that he can't change that because i booked on expedia.com, he said next time book on howardjohnson.com. The pictures on here, the motel looks horrible but it's so much different now. Nice outside paint, pretty... more

3/3 found this review helpful

We checked in, noticed the stained & damaged furniture. The bathroom had mold around the edges, someone had written their initials with a lighter on the ceiling. The room smelled, there was no coffee maker or microwave. Hotels charged us $79 for the night. We called, complained and were refunded. We didn't stay the night, checked out asap, which surprised... more
