The beds were clean and comfortable, but the bathroom was horrible. The toilet wouldn't flush properly, the tub was stained and rusty, scarry looking. The hallways snelled humid. We didn't use the pool, but we looked, and there was a horrible looking green caroet around the pool. Would not stay here again.

I pulled up to that parking lot and knew i wasn't going to stay there. I had to put in a claim with my hotel protection to get my money back because Howard Johnson wouldn't honor the cancelation. It didn't look safe and i didn't feel safe.

Don’t Book. Bathroom is lined with black mold the plumbing leaked everywhere the carpet and furniture was cut/torn up the was cigarette burns everywhere the bed was covered in bed bugs. We were never given towels. No trash can trash bags nor ice available. The pool that was advertised has been shut down for over 4 years now and counting. They still refuse to give a refund even though we did not stay due to the conditions. Giant Scamm

Family stayed there for 2 nights and my kids were disappionted that the pool was closed both days. We tried using our Amercian Exoress card to check in, but was told it was declined. The family checking in behind us also tried using that card and was told it was declined. Yet they called and the card was fine as we also knew iur card was fine as we just used it the same day elsehwere. The room was clean, but we had a hard time falling asleep due to a bright light staying lit all night on our patio. There was no light switch to turn it off . We were going to call the front desk but there was no phone in our room. We had a too much light coming in around the curtains.

Nightmare before and after the beach
When I showed up I was told I couldn’t check in for another five minutes, so I told the front desk I’d wait at a chair and that I’d like to check in immediately. With two minutes to go the person left for 15 minutes. I had to use their ring doorbell to get their attention. When they got there they had multiple issues with my reservation and demanded to know my children’s first and last names. At various times this person also questioned my signature and insisted I was spelling MY WIFE’S name wrong, despite it being correct in the reservation. The rooms weren’t labeled, my two rooms reserved under the same reservation were at opposite ends of the hotel, and the pool (advertised) had been out of operation for “two to three years”. My rooms toilet didn’t flush, my wife’s shower didn’t work, but they’d overbooked somehow and so a room change was out of the cards. There’s a broken elevator, restaurant is closed, and my daughter’s bed had bugs. People got arrested outside. People yelling inside. Moldy bathrooms covered with paint. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid this hotel
This hotel is disgusting. The pictures are stock photos, not from the hotel. There is no pool, no restaurant, and it's filthy. The balcony windows are scuzzy. The desk chair was on the patio, covered is white stains. The hotel smelled VERY strongly of marijuana. The ancient microwave was yellow with smoke stains. The carpet was pulled up in many places, tattered and an unhygienic tripping hazard. We were so grossed out buy the crumbling, stinky, filthy room, we didn't look in the bathroom. I can't imagine what horrors were in there. DO NOT stay here. It's unsanitary, unclean, and unsafe.

The room itself was very nice and clean. The pool has been closed from the health department. Which was a huge bummer because it rained and we were unable to do our scheduled plans which is why I chose this hotel as a back up plan.
