Sliding Mattress
If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

Bathroom sink backed up
On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.

I'm very surprised that Howard Johnson would put their name on it. Must be recieving substantial payments for the name. Our visit was a emergency visit to the area otherwise I would have requested a refund and stayed elsewhere. Room wasn't entirely cleaned after last guest. Never stay again!

Horrible
The service desk was not friendly she did not say anything not sure if there was a language issue. The room was out-dated and dirty hair was on the side of the bed, the bed frame was dirty, and the bathroom tub was old. No breakfast!! this should be called a Motel on the website. It's giving Howard Johnson a bad name, I been to several different hotels with this name, but this is one should not be listed as it is. Website is deceiving located in a bad area..
