    Dirty, smells like insecticide, and the breakfast is really bad. The staff doesn’t give a shift about anything, as if money rained from the sky and you don’t need to do well your job.

    Room and hall reeked of smoke. Worn, old and tired.

    The hotel was meant to be non-smoking. The halls and rooms reeked of smoke. We arrived late after a long drive, and so we stayed, but the next day, we packed up our stuff and left a day early. Told the desk clerk the room smelt awful, he did offer to have staff come do an air freshing treatment but we didn't want to stay. When I said no, he didn't seem to care. We lost our second night's stay but we couldn't spend another night. We left the area and found another hotel, and my husband noted he couldn't sleep in his pj's bc they smelled of smoke. Would not recommend this hotel unless you are a smoker and smoke doesn't bother you. We also suspect we smelled Marijuana in the hall when we first arrived. The room, hall, and stairs were old, worn, and tired. The handle of the door into the hall to our room was sticky.

    - Breakfast not fresh - No water provided (vending machine could not provide water either) - Restroom facility was not accessible while waiting in the lobby for a vehicle - Rooms in the second floor are not accessible for physically impaired or if someone cannot count the stairs. (Rooms in the first floor are smoking rooms)

    I stayed 2 nights the first night the tv didn’t work I was told I’d be given a discount by thee guy who worked that night I booked a room for the next day and the guy wasn’t working after he informed he would there was no manager and nothing was ever done mind you I paid $180 the first night and the very next night it only costed $120 so I was confused about that as well

    the room was a nice size and it was very clean

    Front desk staff was practically non-existent on check-in. Though it was night time, it took a few hails to get someone to come check me in. While availability, location and room comfort were OK, the advertised 'breakfast' was nothing more than a baggie containing what looked like croissants, a yogurt and a small juice box given to me by the front desk. The breakfast facilities were shut down and closed, with nowhere to sit other than a small table which was effectively in the lobby. Maybe this was due to covid, but I'm not a freakin' school kid. Covid restrictions have been lifted or eased by competitors, so HoJo should take heed.

    The availability of rooms was good. This location is near my place of business, so its location was good. The room was comfortable, though the decor seems somewhat dated.

    Location is dirty. There’s garbage all over the property. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted with a penetrating cigarette/Marijuana smell. I wouldn’t stay at this location with my family.

    Gentleman at front desk was friendly.

    I'm guessing that they are doing renovation because lots of old beds in hallway. Soda and water machines was working. Had to get dressed and go find a store to get something to drink.

    The location was good and room was clean. The desk clerk was very nice and friendly. He did all he could to help with our stay.

    Nothing. There were folk walking around the property looking at you like you were a ghost. The hotel couldn't provide you with any of the basics, eg, they gave you a fork to eat the yogurt.

    The location was acceptable but the continental breakfast was behind the front desk and you never got to pick what you wanted.

    the carpet was outdated. area was sketchy. front desk service was just okay. definitely not worth $126/ night. car felt unsafe in parking lot & music blasting out the windows. front desk was also hard to get to.

    the sheets were clean thank Goodness and the TV worked. the decor had a retro mid century vibe which was cool.

    Some guy was screaming theats and playing load music in the parking lot without anyone doing anything, which wouldn’t be as big of a deal for anyone that lives in a city but not a good start. A roach ran by me on the way up the stairs. Inside the room there was a long black hair on the bed and the bathroom door was locked shut. Smokey smell. We checked out right away and went to another hotel. Night desk receptionist was polite and offered another room, but the manager I spoke with the next day was very condescending, cutting me off and demanding photos of the roach, like the photos of hair and everything else wasn’t enough. Refused to refund and hung up on me. I travel a lot and stay at modest accommodations, and I wouldn’t have been bothered if it wasn’t for how rude the manager was. I haven’t been treated like that in years. Everyone should avoid this place and a health inspection should be in order.

    It was very unsafe. Outside door leading to rooms was broken and anyone could have gone in. The key card door to the hallway opened with or without a key card. Flimsy locks on balcony. Overpowering smell of deodorizer throughout the rooms and building. Trash thrown from neighboring balconies. Fire exit directions listed the wrong room. Severe water damage on ceiling with possible mold.

    The stairs to the second floor looked dirty, and behind them was some sort of cabinet, the top of which had dirt and dust and litter. An easy fix. Vintage places can look shabby pretty easily.

    This is a retro feel HoJo’s. My room was clean and comfortable. Great parking. Easy in/out. Really nice gentleman at desk.
