We arrived at the location to first of all, to a very cordial and friendly person at the lobby desk. Unfortunately the stay was all downhill from there. The pool area inside was very dirty and just overall not maintained at all,although the outside pool area was very nice. We then continued to find dirty spots in the carpet and in the bedspread, which made it almost impossible to sleep comfortably. We later went out to eat, bringing leftovers back wich we ahd planned to heat up later only to find out that there was no microwave for customer use in the hotel. We then called the front desk to ask if there was anyway we could get the food heated up and we were told that there would be a $5. charge for a microwave and that he did'nt know what else to tell us. That alone was very insulting. When we left there was some gut out front panhandling also. It was not a very pleasant stay and we will not be returning to this hotel again. P.S. (also there were ants in our room and we were in a fourth floor room)

Front Desk was friendly, yet in the 4 days I was there my room was never cleaned or my bed done. Everything else was perfect. The food was great! THe hotel is conveniently located by the highway and close to everything.

The staff were friendly. The bed was dirty, didnt look like the mattresses had ever been replaced. The sheets were wrinkled. Te floors needed vaccuuming. The ceiling had water stains and paint splotches. The hair dryer did not work --it looked like it had accumulated years of filth. We were almost afraid to even look at the pool--we didnt go nor did we swim in it. The entire area was under construction at the street. Id never stay in a Howard Johnsons again.

The recreation facility was excellent! Walls, trim, needed to be washed or painted. Needs a cleaning!

The hotel was near a major expressway. Old rooms, dirty bathroom, needs upgrades. I would not rate this room as a moderate. No wireless internet, dirty room and bathroom, needs remodeling and upgrades.

I am not kidding. We stayed here and the pool was filled with unruly people. The main hallway was next to a bar, which had so much smoke coming from it. We stayed when there was a lot of snow and had to ask them twice to shovel the driveway!

Two pools were a plus. In the middle of construction. We stayed here because of an early morning flight in the area. It met our needs adequately.

The inside pool area, it is great for kids. The bathrooms need some work. They didn't look clean to me. My son and I had a great time. It is really comfortable.

The front desk was friendly and effiecient. Dirty, moldy, bad ventilation. I would not stay there again unless measures were taken to erradicate the mold buildup on the exterior walls and bathroom.

Two pools inside or out. Powdered eggs in buffet. I liked it and I would stay there again for sure.

The staff was wonderful and took an interest in us. The wireless internet connection was spotty at best. Great location to highway. Very friendly staff; the night workers were interested in why we were in town (looking for apartments) and took the effort to recommend places that we could check out. They remembered us every night. We only ate breakfast once, which was enough for us. Unimpressed with the dining situation.

I liked the ping-pong, shuffleboard, hot tub, and very close to the expressway to get places. I didn't like that the shuffleboard sticks were broken, too smoking going to elevator at nighttime, and bathroom wasn't as clean as it should be. If you like to party, this is the hotel for it because of karaoke. Not a family unless you going during the week. My son loved the games in the pool room and that was a plus. I wish we had a fridge in the room.

There was nothing I liked about this hotel. Everything. This place was run down and old. It is in need of some major renovations. Our bed was lopsided and warned. The bedding was old and dingy; they were no longer white sheets. The TV didn't come in very clear. The bathroom was really small. The pool was on the 5th floor right above you and it was in bad shape. The restaurant over looked my order after waiting over an hour I found out that they had not even started it yet. Then for Breakfast, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came back over hard, she reordered them and they came back the same way. I think they need to find a new cook. I would not recommend this hotel for anyone.

Easy to find. Some guests were too loud after 9 at night. Rooms were clean, workers were friendly, food easy good, service is good.

Very convenient location. Poorly maintained. Shower operated poorly. Thread bare towels. Furnishings need replacement. I would not recommend this hotel. Very poorly maintained. There has clearly been very little investment to make this hotel comfortable for guests.
