“Ripped Off--Den of Thieves!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

They print a bill when you walk in and quoted a price, then they want to copy your card. They said it was for extras. The next morning the orginal bill cannot be found and they print a new one on the copy with your credit card on it and add things like a safe charge. The price for the room is more. What is worse is that the room is a filthy dirty room with the worst cheapest bed you will ever see. We thought that Howard Johnson had some standards. What a joke! We will avoid them in the future like the plague. Worst hotel we have ever been to.

My niece n I call this place crack-tel. Crack motel that is. We just left there today after staying for 3 nights total. Asked for non smoking but everytime we entered ... still smelled like smoke . We gagged everytime we entered. Not enough towels .. just cut corners too much. As a business owner u want to save money but this is over board that u are hurting ur business . Honestly I would never go back. I am staying at another howard johnson for another 2 days n hope ts dfferent. Tonight I m staying at aother motel in centralia . Also about the same price 50 or so. Omg ... much better environment inside n out. I no longer wonder if my rental car will be there in the morning or not.

“Worst experience ever!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011 via mobile

We have traveled all over the world and this was the worst hotel room I have ever experienced. They first put us in a room with one queen bed for the four of us and we were told that they only have a smoking room we tried it and the smell was so bad it was choking. There was also a bad smell of marijuana and cat urine. The other guest were creepy and we definitly did not feel safe. The room also had stained chairs and the bathroom was gross. We ended up booking another room and leaving. Definitley not recommended.

“cheap place for one night stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2011

definately the prices are low, the rooms and services are also ok types, the facilities are fine, if you are staying for one night then its god to take a chance, for the complementary breakfast there you need to reach there at 8:00 clock after that you will get nothing.

“Bed was fantastic, slept like a baby.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

The area the hotel is located in is so-so. The only other issue was that the water wouldn't work during the day, after 10am until about 2 or 3pm. I assume this is due to the motel doing laundry, but the front desk said that this shouldn't be the case. However, everything else was great. The staff were friendly and helpful during our 2 week stay. The room was clean, although the 2 chairs in the room were a little grimey. The beds were fantastic! I have never slept on a more comfortable bed in a hotel. Very soft and comfortable, I can't say enough good things about the bed. It was very quiet for the 2 weeks we were there, and that was great, since we were trying to get some rest. The hotel is pet friendly, $10 pet fee per night, but that was ok, we had a great stay. The internet was free, didn't always work, but worked more times than not. The TV lineup is a little bizarre, they have ESPNU, but not regular ESPN. I haven't stayed at a hotel that didn't have ESPN, but that was a very minor issue.
