It was pleasant . Pls add more items in the bfast. It lacks presentation
Pros:

The bed is comfortable…though its an old building , a brighter color would do the trick esp on the interior wall at reception area to make it more appealing.

Cons:

The system is very delayed in the facility when its comes to booking . I noticed some guests also has altercation with the receptionist on duty. Glad she did her best. Mngt needs to look into this as many guests are pissed off during that night due to confimed booking but system has problem to assign available room for the guests. Many travelled long distances but felt frustrated that time.

Overcharged
Pros:

Overcharged, multiple charges or as they put it “holds” that were actually transactions and pulled from my bank account. Checked out in the 1/17 and still waiting to be refunded.

Pros:

Blisko autostrady, duży bezpłatny parking

Cons:

Obiekt zaniedbany, wyposażenie ma kilkanaście lat, przydałaby się modernizacjia.
Na śniadanie do jedzenia była tylko kiepsko wyglądająca owsianka.

Pros:

Plenty of parking but we saw lots of glass on the parking lot which looked like car window breakage. The worst breakfast ever we had in hotel, wish I can share pictures. Gravy and biscuits, the gravy was in crock pot probably several days old, 1 molded orange, about 2-3 yogurts in warm fridge with warm milk in it as well. This was out second time to stay in Howard Johnson, the first one was not nice as well so we thought give them one more chance but never again.

Pros:

My bathroom needed a serious deep clean. Upon checking the window to see the weather outside, I discovered the window track was BLACK with mold. Im only guessing the rest of the AC hadnt been cleaned in a long time. The pool has also long been abandoned and I can only imagine what the curtains are hiding in there. Not a good hotel at all. Needs a serious deep clean by a cleaning crew.
