“Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This was the absolute worse place that I had ever been in. Our stay was suppose to be for two nights...I only lasted a very few short hours. My husband, who has asthma, was unable to breath in the room. There were old blood stains on the sides of the mattress, it looked like a murder scene. I tried to use the phone to call the front desk to complain and the phone would not dial out or to the desk (it was filthly with black sludge stuck on the ear piece) I would have paid 4 times the amount to sleep anywhere but the Howard Johstons, I would have slept in the freezing cold truck before I would have stayed there.

“overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010

The place was okay but the price of the room far exceeded the value.
Upon check-in, $10 was added to the rate for having a pet with me - which I didn't know about before that...and then they had run out of casino packages as advertized. Apparently, if you are too late in the month, they don't have any left.
If it is cold, rainy or snowstormy night, this place would be okay. If not, find somewhere else.

“Scene from The Shining”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2010

This was a dirty, run down facility with maybe one or two other guests. Slow hot water, rugs were filthy and no services. Do not stay here.

I wrote a very long review to the HQ. No one responded.

“Disappointing - stayed 1 night instead of 2”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010

First impression of dirty wash cloth left on outside window sill next to door should have been a red flag. Room was dirty, carpets not vacuumed, snow not shoveled outside the door - got tracked in and floor by desk in front of door was always wet. I stayed one night instead of the planned two. I should have checked out immediately when I saw the room, but I was in too much of a hurry to change and go cross country skiing. One of the nearby rooms had a broken window and it was covered by cardboard inside. It was nearly deserted, and I did not feel real comfortable parking around the back near my room. It was the lowest priced in my search, but I learned that generally speaking, good hotels aren't cheap and cheap hotels aren't good.
