I was always looking for staying a Howard Johnson..knewing I would get a great a reasonably price room... great nights sleep hot shower TV to relax to and having a light up sign of a free breakfast next morning.....INSTEAD ..this is what I got..checking in at 930pm...The desk manager not at the least friendly..and charged us 90.00 ..and told us we got a baragin cause it was supposed to be 100.00....We were tired and wanting a good sleep to continue on the next day.Beening so cold we decited to be entertainedby the TV while the room heats up..No romote. Desk again to ask for one which I was told there should ,,but he woud try one which and down he came and that one worked..limited channels..Still so cold...so I slept in with a pj top and a fleese sweater pj pants and a heavy pair of socks..still cold...By morning the room was a comfortable one..Looking around the room that had layers of dust..wallpaper coming off on its own..all sorts of repair patches of white on a green room..and then to curl my hair..not a hope there either as the outlets were not working...Upon checking out I saw the manager again..I explained the cold room , and the way the room was not fit to be used..Actually a warm girl there had mentioned that they had not rented out that room for a few weeks...I asked for a settlement of a discount on the room..the manager told the problem was me..if I had called ahead ..there would have been a a warm room As you know hotels are hospitality and should aways be open to travellers at any time..Look like I will never return..there..and strongly advise against any other traveller..and the motel was not full by any means...Hope this helps ...
