We arrived in town late and was looking for a place close to the hospital. What a terrible mistake. The place is for the dogs. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Not only did we have a really bad experience. The charged us for two nights when we stayed only one night. more

While I stayed at the Hotel, I was very pleased for the money I paid. The staff was very friendly and accomodating to my needs. The furniture may need to be updated, but for only $69 per night,my room was cleaned and I enjoyed my family reunion banquet.

Booked online. Thought the location would work well for what we wanted to do. We were on the eleventh floor. We never made it to our floor on the elevators. Always stopped at 12 and we had to walk down. That was when it wasn't stuck with an alarm going off. The room wasn't clean either, and the glitter on... more

This has got to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I picked this hotel as it sounded great and was close to the hospital where I was to have procedures done. What a big mistake. Only 1 of 3 elevators worked and the working one was filled with graffiti and didn't stop on the 8th floor. All... more

I was there on business---do not under any circumstances stay here!!! Creepiest most decrepant place I have ever visited. Everywhere, water damaged walls, stained carpets, lights falling out of sockets, paper signs posted with scotch tape. The elevators looked like crime scenes. Condom wrapper in the hallway. No alarm clock in the room. Sheets not tucked in. I could go... more

My family just returned from a two-night stay at this property, which is no longer part of the Howard Johnson chain. It was recently sold and the new owner appears to be indepedent. The place still has many problems, but the drug and prostitution activity appears to have been eliminated. We hope the new owner continues to make an effort... more

We stayed at this hotel because it was convenient for a family event. There is little good to be said about our stay, other than the convenience. Maintenance was poor--telephone didn't work right, the curtains in the room were torn, common area carpet torn/dirty, signs of wall & door damage all over the hotel, housekeeping staff did not replace things... more
