We had a nice room on the 1st floor, very spacious, but the breakfast bar was mid.
i was actually walked over to sister property because of overbooking. but the lobby looked great and staff very friendly and helpful.

We didnfind strands of hair embedded in the bed sheets and blankets. Shower could be better. Noticed we were itchy laying on the bed without top sheet, but the bed was comfortable.
This listing is fir the MK Hotel, not the Howard Johnson. My reservation from Expedia said Howard Johnson and the map was for the Howard Johnson by the airport, but I arrived and they had no record of my booking. I called the number listed on the hotel page and it took me to the MK Hotel, which is 15 minutes away. No relation at all to the Howard Johnson. Completely insane. This feels very shady. No idea what is going on here but there doesn’t seem to be any way to report this to Expedia. Service was also pretty terrible at both places, for the record, but at least the rooms were clean (by motel standards).

Scored an F for health dept, no hot water; just luke-warm showers, Toilet clogged, Sink clogged. The place would fall aprt if it wasn't for the lady who handles the day shift. She is the only person who know what is happening.
The room was not clean:
The toilet had urine stains, the shower was dingy and needed to be bleach cleaned. The towels were thread-bare. The door did not open and shut properly, the laminate flooring was bubbling and coming up from the sub floor. The microwave was dirty and had no glass turning tray. I spilled water and cleaned it up and the Kleenex was brown afterward meaning they don’t mop the floors. Asked for more Kleenex and they didn’t have any.
Free Continental Breakfast:
No hot food, milk and juice machines were both broken, sliding doors out to patio were broken so we couldn’t go outside from the dining area, all they had to eat was bananas, oranges, some muffins, toast, dry cereal and coffee.
Grounds: The pool and hot tub were dirty, no towels, no chaise lounges, or umbrellas.
Staff: They sat around on their phones and could have been cleaning and tending to the breakfast items that were out.
Over All:
It’s not worth the money, poorly kept property, poor customer service.

No hot water for three days and no one has gotten back to me or did I receive any discount or refund. I also missed a day at work.
