Serviceable but expect little.
Pros:

No bugs were found. A basically clean serviceable utility room with no frills. It's close to everything you need but not scenic. It's just off I95.

Cons:

Half of what you see is broken (plugs, beat up TV, the window lock just plain fell off on the floor, no pool or food). This is obviously a wrecked old HoJos that was renovated cheaply and minimally.

Pros:

The staff was so personable and helpful. Good location to town.

Cons:

The property was in pretty bad shape. Our view on the tiny balcony was the blown out hotel that was under construction. The room was clean but there was mold in the bathtub. The light in the bathroom around the mirror kept flickering - so annoying. The slider was broken so there was a hook that closed it. The ice machine on the 2nd floor was broken and the beverage vending machine was empty. There was no "Continental Breakfast" but 10% off at the diner - not enough off.

Pros:

The staff was great and location was great, right next to the attractions we wanted to visit in the area.

Cons:

The first rooms we got on the fisrt floor had a stong mildew smell. We got rooms on the 2nd floor which was much better.

Comfortable, but could be could be better.
Pros:

The location of this hotel was perfect. I have come to this location many times over the years because it is near to attractions, shopping, and is central to activities in the area. The room was comfortable, seemed safe, and clean, although I did have to request room cleaning services.

Cons:

Having stayed at this hotel several times in the past, I was disappointed to see how badly the facility's have fallen into disrepair. I know it was an older hotel chain, but being owned by Wyndham resorts, I do not understand why this hotel has not received any renovations. The gutters were falling down and flooding the bottom floors during a rain storm. The parking lot is riddled with potholes, the indoors desperately need new carpets & paint. If this hotel received an update I would consider returning, but now it just looks like blatant neglect.
