Not much to say. They allow smoking, and 99.9% of hotels don’t. There’s no other reason to stay there.

It was good - I left days inn to stay there the only issue is someone walked in to my room without knocking to clean without even us checking. Out so I’m unhappy about that it was messed up and took away our privacy!

I didn’t realize I had booked a smoking room, which I did not want. The check-in clerk switched us over to a non-smoking before I even had a chance to ask. Excellent customer service.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Insulting check-in and overstepping bounds.
When I first checked in, the person at the counter kept repeating "sir, you have to understand, no guests are permitted." 4 times she said that. As if to ensure I was not going to have hire any prostitutes or go pick random women up for a fling. If this was a private b&b, I would expect those kinds of rules but a Howard Johnson? I found her insistence to be quite insulting and it isn't anyone's business why I'm here I in town. I'm here for a medical procedure the next day but, again, that's no one's business but my own. The room was stifling hot when I first got in here. The remote for the TV doesn't work. It is clean and it got cool once the AC had been on for an hour or so.

The front desk barely spoke English so it was tough. He ran my credit card at least 20 times and said it's a bad card which wasn't true because I he just used that same card an hour prior to pay for the room online. He wanted another card and I said I don't have one obviously the card readers bad and he laughed and said ok.

Worn out hotel in much need of updating. Made to come back after coming 2 hrs early, instead of allowing me to check in because they were busy cleaning rooms. Hotel receptionist was short, not friendly and outgoing. Mant areas in need of improvement.

Need to clean the rooms better and if you put someone in a room that doesn’t smoke make sure the room doesn’t smell like smoke.
