  • Most of the employees were helpful and friendly.
  • One of the front desk people don't know how to smile or be friendly.

“This is a great hotel to stay at. They call you a half hour after you get there to make sure you are happy with the room. This hotel is in a great location. The food was really good.”

  • The bathroom was clean.
  • Having to sleep on the floor, and the service we got, holey blankets.

“After asking for a double room, was refused, given a cot that was very unsafe for anyone. Couldn't control the heat. Husband slept on floor on with mattress that was like material over springs. Offered to pay more for double room was refused, Blankets were very very thin and full of holes. Day personal was rude. Never stay there again. Would never refer the H.J. to anyone. Cannot believe this.”

  • Dinner was fast and hot.
  • Breakfast was slow and cold.

“The hotels home page advertised they had bar fridges in some rooms. I requested one and was told by desk clerked they were forbidden by management to move them around?”

  • It had a fridge and microwave nice additions.
  • The lobby was musty smelling and the room had a sour smell like milk had been spilled into the carpet.

“It was ok for us as we only were in it to sleep. The front desk gal was very busy but accommodating. The price was right.”

  • For the price, I got an excellent value.
  • There's nothing I didn't like.

“The price, the location, the cleanliness and general comfort of the room microwave, refrigerator, iron & board, hair dryer & complete toiletries, open able windows made this a great value. Nowhere else has a staff person ever stopped by my room to ask if everything is ok. They did that here. Stay here with confidence.”

  • Good price, good location, generally clean and well kept premises.
  • Instead of two beds we got one, and a smoking room.

“Great for most travelers.”

  • Easy to find off I 95.
  • Chair in room is not comfortable for relaxing.

“Hotel just ok. Very displeased that I asked for and received an ok for a downstairs, non smoking room around noon and told the clerk I would be late returning to check in. He apparently "forgot" so that when I returned late, I had to take an upstairs, smoking room.”

  • This hotel may not be a Hilton, but I love it. The rooms are very unique and have a contemporary/modern design.
  • The bathroom should be upgraded/updated to match the rest of the room. Would be nice if the sink was inside the bathroom, but not a big deal.

“I love this hotel and I hope they have one nationwide. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The room looks exactly as it does online. Very unique and contemporary. A standard room comes with a small refrigerator and coffeemaker. The only thing that needed to be done in order to be the perfect hotel is the bathroom should be upgraded to match the hotel room and the sink would be better if it was inside the bathroom. But nonetheless my experience with this hotel was still excellent and I would definitely stay again.”

  • Nothing.
  • Water-saving toilet had too be flushed twenty times (seriously), warming lamps in bathroom didn't work, lobby is terrible, everything stinks.

“I didn't like much about this motel, the coffee was good if you used half the amount of water with a full coffee pad. And the place stinks all-over, stale smoke, even in my non-smoking room.”

  • Clean, quiet with restaurant on premise.
  • Rooms are very small some with only one double bed.

“Fine for an overnight stop. Clean and quiet with a restaurant right there. They sometimes put you in a very small room with only a double bed.”

  • I liked that it was right off the highway.
  • Terrible customer service and room was not cleaned properly.

“I found the staff very uncooperative. They were not friendly or helpful in the least! The room was not cleaned properly as there was hair and dirt in the bathroom.”

  • Location.
  • It was dirty and not well maintained.

“We were given a smoking room, which reeked. It had one double bed, too small for my spouse and me. It had a stain on the comforter and the bathroom was grungy. We couldn't get into our room until about 4:30; it wasn't cleaned.”

  • Nothing.
  • Everything.

“Hotel stay was so bad! Worst experience ever at a hotel. We arrived at 6:15 Friday, running quick because we had a game to go to for 7. We didn't check in unstill 6:45 because no one was at the desk! They had a sign saying they would be back as soon as possible! Again Saturday, we had a wedding to go to for 1. We arrived back at 11:15 to get ready, and our keys didn't work! Our keys had to be changed 4 different times because they wouldn't work for the outside door or our hotel room. So while our key didn't work sat we waited till about Noon for someone to get back at the desk! Ridiculous, made us late for the wedding! During check out called the desk no answer, then went to the desk, once again, a note! I ended up writing a note saying the room 103 had checked out! Worst experience ever! Called and talked to a manager once the trip was done. She did nothing for me. She argued about the whole situation. I am not one to complain but this was so bad! I am now going to go to her manager and try to do something.”

  • Hotel was quiet.
  • Room was not cleaned over our two night stay, we asked for towels and they were not brought to us. Had to request twice

“Overall the hotel stay was okay. The hotel itself was quiet and fairly clean although we had stayed two nights and our hotel was not cleaned at all during that stay. We needed towels the next morning and we called the front desk to obtain them. No one showed up by the time we needed to leave and when we arrived back at the hotel at 10pm there were still no towels in the room. We had to go down to the lobby and get the towels ourselves. The staff was not very friendly and did not want to put in any extra effort. We had a problem with the toilet and when we went down to the lobby to ask for assistance the front desk clerk just handed us a plunger and did not offer to help. We were pretty disappointed in the hotel staff's attitude and lack of assistance”

  • Convenient and a good rate.
  • Some cards to get into rooms did not work and had trouble getting someone to accommodate.

“The motel has been a place for us to stay to and from Prince Edward Island when we travel. This time we were took back when one of the rooms neither of the cards to open the rooms would work-we asked someone to accommodate us by getting it took care of and about 1/2 hour later someone came around. There was a bus load of tourists that came in and we had to wait till they took care of them. That was very inconsiderate as we had children in the hallway and needed to get in the room. We went down 3 times to the desk before someone took care of it.”

  • Convenient location to the airport and downtown.
  • Double beds instead of queen or king sized beds.

“It was okay -- clean, quiet, friendly and helpful staff. Hotel was old -- tired, dated. Typical Howard Johnson's from the 1970's. Bathrooms in particular need updating.”
