I'm surprised Windham would even claim this place.
Free Internet was advertised but was ONLY available in the lobby area. No towels were provided on our first night. No coffee cups, and no coffee either. Room service was NOT provided until I asked for it. Towels were then provided. The room was fairly clean, but you could tell that very little money had been spent fixing warped or curled flooring and floor mats. We could hear every footstep of the folks above us - poor subflooring and thin walls. The bathroom was OK. Everything worked well there, but no extra roll of toilet-paper was provided. No cockroaches were seen - thank goodness. The daytime desk person (young male) was very uncaring and boarderline rude.

The WiFi signal wasn’t strong enough to connect anything in our room at the end of the building by the pool…. The lobby was really nice compared to the rest of building. Staff at front desk were friendly and breakfast was decent. There were no towels for guests in the pool until they were closing for the night, then they only brought 5 towels. We checked 6 people in for 2 nights and had 2 towels for the entire stay, even after asking for more. We had to use our pool towels for showers… The beds were comfortable but only about half of the (very sparse) outlets/usb plugs worked. There is also no microwave in the room! There are 2 downstairs in the hallway by the pool but only one warms things. The indoor pool was alright, there were also 2 balconies attached with lots of seating. The balconies attach to the balconies rooms and give the guest zero privacy on there area. Beware the jagged rusted metal chair. And there is no elevator! You go up 2 flights of stairs to get to the second floor.

My husband and i were here for 5th wedding anniversary. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable. But we had a rotting/moldy wall in our room under ac unit, couldnt have it below 72 or it would constantly drip, so the room got warm. The hallways/stairs were dirty. There was trash in the hallway that had not picked been up our entire 3 night stay. Our room was only "cleaned" once. The trash was only taken out once and we were not given fresh towels.

There was no housekeeping, and the hotel NEVER brought clean towels. The TV Remote would not turn on the TV or change the volume. When we took the remote to the front, they sent maintenance to repair it. I told the front desk I would meet them there, but they were in my room when I returned to my room. We were given a paper that said breakfast was from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. This was incorrect, as when we went to breakfast, there was a note on the door stating that it had changed by one hour. So, there was no breakfast for us that day. I tried to call the front desk by dialing 0 to get clean towels, but they never answered. The room smelled musty, and when we saw the mold in the bathroom, we knew why the smell. We had a long drive in and called to tell them we would be a late check-in. We were told we had to be there by 9:00 PM. I didn't see that when booking, but I may have missed it. Don't stay here if you're a late check-in. When I tried to tell the front desk about my concerns, I was dismissed about it. The one day I got breakfast, the milk was sour, so I didn't have any cereal, but the rest of the breakfast was okay. Now, remember I only got breakfast one of three days. After all this, I have decided NEVER to stay at this hotel again. I would have been better off staying at Motel 6.

Our television didn't work. Staff offered to replace it, but it was late and didn't want to have to deal with it. We shouldn't have had to, everything should be in working order when we check into our room. We have booked another stay with you next week and really hope that everything is in working order for us.

NEVER again
We chose this hotel because it was pet friendly and because of the Howard Johnson reputation. The first night room had mold along the tub and ceiling in the bathroom, the mattress was lumpy, the toilet ran off and on all night and there were scratches on the bathroom door. Since we had our dog, I reported everything to the front desk the next morning as we checked in late. I did not want them to say our dog damaged the door. They offered to change rooms, so we did. The mattress was much better in the second room but the bathroom still had some mold, the toilet in that room ran off and on too and the louvers on the air conditioner were broke. Someone spilled soda in the floor in the evening, reported it to staff and it was still there the next morning. There was also an old bar of soap on top of our shower wall. The second worst hotel i have ever had.
