Your 'last' choice. ‘cheap’ but not inexpensive
Not a satisfactory experience. Not at all up to 1st world standards, or even Motel 6, It was ‘cheap’, but not inexpensive.
The listing’s exterior pictures quite fail to show that the property is buried and hidden away in a run down area on an unmarked alley’ not visible from the street, fronting an unpaved lot used to park semi-trucks. They fail to show the run down, worn out exterior. The only presentable feature was the large ‘Howard Johnson” logo over the office.
Interior pictures misrepresent the tiny cramped space, the filthy, sticky, thin unpadded brown patio carper, the buckled bathroom vinyl, moldy grout. No closet, [2] cloths hangers on a rail, no chairs or dressers or microwave. Thin sheets and flannel 'blanket’, no bedspread.
The nightstand had a warped top surface with un-cleaned stains and sticky spills . The bath counertop had uncleaned water stains, with water standing. The carpet in front of the sink and into the bathroom. was wet/flooded. We had to use the two [2] provided towels to cover and soak u[p the wet carpet. The towels were the only ‘chean’ things in the room .
The door had no weather stripping, did not tightly latch close, leaving 3/8” gap on all edges through which light shined and the wind, cold and noise blew, requing the wall mount heater run all night to keep the sheet covered occupants from chilling.
There was plently of available parking, since the place was nearly empty.
