Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The room stunk so bad I went to Walmart and bought bleach and febreeze. The carpet was sticky and turned your feet black. The bed was falling apart. The chair looked as if a dog had chewed a hole in it. There was dried urine on the toilet from some other person who... More

Booked as part of a large group a year out for KU graduation. It was the last place available in Lawrence. Prices jacked up to $150 per night....really a $29 dump. Nasty...Nasty...Nasty. Very dark, smelly, and filthy. Carpets are so stained and sticky that your feet stick. Facility looks and feels like public housing. Nothing has been renovated since 1980s.... More

I was getting bites in the night. I thought it was just my vivid imagination. I checked the sheets on both beds in the room. BUGS! It was discusting. They should give me my money back.

It wasn't worth the savings. It smelled musty like something was growing inside. The sink had no "P" trap so sewer gas could come up thru it. I could hear the water gurgling in the drain from someone else using their sink or toilet. I stayed four nites. The third and fourth nights they didn't have the room cleaned by... More

The first room I was assigned to reeked of smoke, and had piles of ashes even though the building is supposed to be smoke free and the room had been cleaned. The second room was much cleaner but at night the toilet stuffed up. I called maintenance who did not show up. The next morning I called again and the... More

I stayed for 10 days at the Howard Johnson before I found an apartment, but made the mistake of paying for a room online (no refund so I could secure a cheaper rate) BEFORE checking tripadvisor (I won't be making that mistake again). Cure weeks of nervousness and paranoia to do with prostitutes and guns and fighting and clandestine drug... More

Why this hotel has a license to operate a lodging facility, and a health permit for human habitation is a mystery. This property is old, run down, not properly maintained, and in need of many upgrades. The "suite" had dirty carpets and drapes, dirty walls with holes in them, smelled musty, was dank and dingy, and had an obvious lack... More
