This place was the hotel of nightmares. The only thing missing was the bugs...thankfully i never saw any signs of those. We arrived and had no trouble at check in. I am always afraid i will wind up spending my vacation in a dump so i always do my best to check out photos and call around. When we arrived in the room, to say the least we were stunned. The wallpaper was peeling, There were holes in the walls (some attampt had been made to patch a few, others were left). The furniture was crooked and battered. The headboards were lop-sided. The sink was braced to the wall, literally, with 2X4's on each side that had been cut to fit and then just mounted underneath. The shower had broken tiles and the knob were u adjust the water temp was literally torn away from the wall. I went to open the curtains and they literally came down on my head, I had to stand in the chair and replaced them (great photo! haha). The ceiling was stained and the back of the remote was held together with cardboard and tape. All-in-all this place looked great online. Its the kind of thing that should not happen with major hotel chains. You would expect them to uphold certain standards; I would strongly recommend you NEVER stay here and I am leary of staying at other howard johnson locations if this is what the standards look like. all I can say is run as fast as you can to the nearest holiday inn or you may spend your night like we did : contemplating sleeping in your car.
