NEVER STAY HERE EVER!
Pros:

This property should be condemned. It is filthy, with stained carpets, town sheets,
broken mirrors in the bathrooms, and just awful. This place is not fit for a prison,
much less a hotel, Stay here are your risk for your life.

Worst hotel ever
Pros:

One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had.

I stayed in Room 130 at Howard Johnson by Wyndham Pikesville and the condition of the room was completely unacceptable. The entire place felt filthy and poorly maintained. The bedding had visible cigarette burns, the pillows were mismatched and worn out, and the walls were covered in stains. The “duvet” on the bed was actually just an empty cover with no blanket inside it at all.

The room smelled damp and unpleasant the entire time, and I even found leftover warped chewing gum that had clearly not been cleaned up from a previous guest. That alone says everything about the standard of housekeeping here.

What concerned me most was the condition of the door and overall safety of the room. The door felt insecure, like it could be forced open far too easily. I did not feel safe or comfortable staying there.

This hotel seriously raises health and safety concerns and should not be operating in this condition. I genuinely do not understand how this property is associated with the Wyndham brand. Absolutely unacceptable and not fit to call itself a hotel. Avoid this place entirely.

Pros:

Room wasn't clean and things was broken as well as dirty rags . This place needs better experience than what they do. No more false fake quality or low cleaning there with broken items in rooms.

Do not book
Pros:

Unfortunately not as advertised. The hotel is overtaken by illicit activity. I did not feel safe. There was blood and who knows what else on the bed (I just looked in the room and left). The night staff member I have to thank because he knew that it was not suitable. He tried to warn me by asking me to see the room first before he checked me in. It was really late and I was exhausted but he made himself clear. He accepted the cancellation with no problem. Thank you to this staff member for looking out for me. I hope you can move to a better environment.

Pros:

I had to come to town for a medical procedure so looked for something close to where my doctor’s office would be. I don’t know how the ratings for the place were so good. It was terrible, not cleaned and shady people. I booked a king non-smoking room and literally opened the door to a fresh smoked cigarette. Went and asked for another room, gave me a double bed instead. Can smell the smoke in there too but not within the last hour at least. But, room was dirty, the door did not seem secure, there was writing in magic marker on the bathroom mirror, mirror was broke and covered with tape, pubic hair on the toilet seat and the wall was holding up the small tv. Also burn marks on the stand the tv was resting on. The bed sheets were dirty and well. I told them I could not stay and checked out within 15 minutes of getting there. Worst Howard Johnson I’ve ever been to. I’d give negative stars if I could. 100% do NOT recommend

Pros:

This place is a dump! It smelled like smoke from the moment I walked in. The pictures are false advertising. It looks nothing like the pictures on the site. No elevator to the 2nd floor?!! I would've had to carry my 50lb. Bag to the 2nd floor. I left without even seeing the room, it was so gross and scary
