Me and my boyfriend met each other in Durham. I live in Richmond and he lives in Charlotte. I booked online. This place ended up being a dumb. The rooms were very dusty and moldy smell. I had horrible allergy issues during and after the stay because of the room. Bad location. People living in the hotel, cars in and... more

Thief!!! The proprieter of this hotel was terribly rude and difficult to deal with. I attempted to cancel my reservation after my plans changed, knowing that I would be billed the first nights stay according to my booking agreement. The staff refused to alter the booking, and were hostile over the phone. After making several other attempts to cancel the... more

On Thursday, December 27th, 2007, my wife and I checked into the Howard Johnson Hotel in Durham, NC. When we checked into the hotel room, we discovered that the knob on the heating unit was missing. The desk clerk refused to give us a new room, and we had to play with the unit in order to get the heat... more

Don't ever stay here.....I agree with everything all the others have said about this place being dirty and smelly, but in addition we ended up getting "Body Lice" and "Scabies" from this place that we are still not free of some 5 months later. Forget the medical bills, exterminator bills and vet bills etc. The owners refused to refund us... more

This place was the cheapest around.... but it is GROSS. There is a creepy white stain on the carpet, the shower has a ton of gunk on it, and the furniture is falling apart. It also STINKS. Luckily we found no pubic hairs on the bed or peed on sheets... but this is the nastiest place I've ever stayed. Spring... more

Check in was a nightmare for us. The first room the guy gave us was filthy! Stains all over the carpet, wires hanging out of the ceiling, pillows looked like they were urinated on, pubic hairs in the sheets, and the bathroom light wasn't working so they had a big lamp up on the countertop with no shade. When you... more

We were VERY disappointed with our stay at the HoJo in Durham. The whole hotel had a clammy, greasy feel. The lobby was disordered, random items strewn around the television (in front of which the attendant would lounge, watching to see if anyone would come in). The floor of our hallway had a huge bleach (?) stain on it as... more

I really loved this neat place. The staff was very very nice and friendly and made us feel at home. They had large rooms with nwe 27inch tv's, coffee makers, ironing boards and agreat breakfast. most new hotels dont have this at $99.99. We paid less than $50.00. I will always come back. more

I don't usually write reviews for hotels; however, this hotel deserves one. Mistakes such as getting into the room and finding out that it hasn't been cleaned yet are acceptable. That the key doesn't work one or two times is, sort of ok. In this hotel I had to change rooms 2 times, one because the room wasn't clean, the... more
