3-night trip

2/10

I'm very sorry I did not read the reviews. The reviews on here (Hotels.com) are pretty bad but OMG....read the ones on other platforms. All 100% true. EXTREMELY RUDE young lady at the front desk. No "hello-welcome." She looked perturbed that she had to get up from the couch to check me in. The neighborhood and outside of the building seemed sketchy. The room was actually okay. Old fashioned-not modern at all - torn curtains.....but decent and seemed clean. But after reading reviews on other platforms I probably didn't look close enough. There was ZERO free breakfast to speak of so I went to Starbucks to get my own breakfast only to come back and find out I'm locked out of the building. After several doorbell rings someone unlocked it. Lots of LOUD construction going on across the hall. I might have been able to overlook a lot of things but after my initial HORRIBLE customer service upon check-in......I will never go back and never recommend this place. We work hard for our money and we are not going to be treated terribly when we spend it at your establishment. A smile and a warm welcome helps set the tone for a traveler new to your hospitality.

Close to the Steinbeck Center and walking distance to main street with some great places to eat and drink.

6/10

Sunny D and Costco granola bars are not breakfast. Rooms could use a thorough deep cleaning. Mattresses probably cost 80 bucks new 10 years ago. Pillows are small square and stuffed full of ground up memory foam that sounds comfortable in theory but my neck is still sore even 24hrs after checkout. Husband and wife team who run it. The wife was nice. The husband gave the impression that I was bothering him when I asked him for extra towels. Conveniently located two blocks away from Starbucks.

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.

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

Paper thin walls and stark industrial neighborhood made this a place we wanted to leave in the rear view. The room was spare but clean. Nice TV. The walls are thin, and the landings echo, hear the

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.

I'm very surprised that Howard Johnson would put their name on it. Must be recieving substantial payments for the name. Our visit was a emergency visit to the area otherwise I would have requested a refund and stayed elsewhere. Room wasn't entirely cleaned after last guest. Never stay again!
