I stayed here for 3 nights in Sept. 2011. This hotel is outdated and needs some major updates. You can see water damage on the walls that go to the outside, Mildew in the bathrooms. There were also a couple of females walking around the bar/lounge not sure what they were doing but it sure looked like they were looking... More

As a business traveler, you learn which hotels to stay clear of, and which ones offer a consistent value over the years. This hotel is by no means an Embassy Suites or a Marriot. If that's what you are looking for, continue East on I-80 until you get to Lincoln. But for the price, I think this is the best... More

Don't be deceived by the lobby, the hotel is not that nice. The rooms are warm, AC doesn't work that well. The room smelled like mold. The shower had mold. Ok for 1 night, kind of high...everything else was though. More

The internet connection was non-existant, but they kept arguing with me that it worked fine. When I suggested they were swindling me, they offered a two-dollar discount, but only after a bitter struggle. Mildewy smell never quite dissipated. Pathetic A/C. I don't think anyone here has ever seen a real hotel . I would recommend this place to my worst... More

I am sorry that you had a bad experience at our hotel. There's only one incident related to the internet that happened in July 7 through July 10 in our hotel involving a discount back to the guest, so I don't know if this is the same one we talked about. I had personally worked with a guest on the... More

From looking at the outside via Google streets, I didn't' think the place was going to be too nice, but OK, The lobby was very nice, and the rooms were good. It is not the Rio in Vegas, but the price was right, the rooms nice, no problems. Even a free breakfast, with waitresses! More

No maid service. No apologies. When we called desk, they wanted us to bring them the dirty towels to exchange for clean. On a positive note, A/C worked good. More

We stayed here 1 night with our small dog. Booked the room earlier that morning on the telephone directly with the hotel. AAA rate plus $10 for our dog (this hotel charges tax on the pet fee). Arrived around 10:15 p.m. Lobby was okay, inviting. Girls waiting in the lobby to hang out and chat with the girl on duty.... More

We stayed here after a boring trip thru western Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Basic hotel, but it was clean and quiet and we had a good complimentary breakfast before we got back on the road. Will stay here again if in that area. More

Avoid at all cost. Dirty and outdated. This place literally hasn't been updated in years. It's clear Howard Johnson corporate doesn't care. There are better places to stay in the Tri-Cities. More
