We looked at photos posted and read reviews and booked our room...Everything was not what it seemed. The bathroom had no lighting, the walls were filthy, the room was supposed to be non-smoking and you could tell that it was a smoking room. We asked for 2 queen beds and received 2 full beds. The shower had mildew and you... More

No towels were in the room. Curtains were disgusting. Shoe prints on the walls. Holes in the blankets. Staff and management didn't care about anything. Even for a cheap motel. It was god awful. Stay away More

Terrible service, gangs roaming the hallways, dirty room, no tissues, toilet paper or towels. We left the room for the day and when we came back they had given our room away! Thank goodness we didn't leave our stuff there too scared to!) Internet is spotty at best. If the whole town is booked except this place, you may want... More

Upon checking in, they had no record of which rooms were clean or dirty or whether or not they were occupied. The hallways were a little shady. My boyfriend and I also got bed bugs. Yeah, the hotel stay was cheap, but not worth the nasty bed bugs! More

We showed up to check in and after having a horrible experience and seeing the clientele (i think they charge by the hour) we left. There was a police officer sitting in the parking lot who confirmed that as two young ladies we should NOT stay in this hotel. We went across the street to another hotel that was much... More

The Howard Johnson hotel at this location is also called the St. Michael plaza hotel. I'm not sure why, but apparently they have the Howard Johnson sign behind the bushes. So it's very hard to know your even at the location. The hotel is a bit run down, but is the cheapest hotel for long term stays and certainly not... More

Upon arrival at the motel, the front desk clerk was not able to find my reservation using my name, so I had to go back out to the car and get the confirmation number. After driving to the parking spot outside of our room, we noticed that the window of the room adjacent to ours had a shattered window. Then... More

I have stayed at hotels all over the United States prices ranging from $189.00 a night down to $25.00 a night and this is the worse one. The maids are all Spanish speaking so you can’t communicate with them. When something is stolen out of your room as was the case with us the front desk sends you to talk... More
