Pros:

Convenient to fairgrounds

Cons:

Cleanliness- table, faucet in tub weren’t clean properly. Place smell like stale
cigarettes when heat was turned on. Advertised as stocked kitchenette didn’t have cookware, dishes nor utensils.

We tolerated it as there were no other options.
Pros:

Limited choices. Waffle machine produced very soft waffle as

Cons:

I was hoping for a two bed room but was offered a one bed room. Had to pay an extra $20 to get a room with two beds. Place is old and in. Need of repairs and redecorating. It is just an old and dilapidated motel.

Pros:

The smell in the lobby and in the room was a horrible moldy smell. The couch looked so dirty that i used a towel to sit on. Bed, couch and toilet were so low. Hard to get up out of them. For the price of $200 and the Howard Johnson name I was expecting a lot more.
