My experience at Howard Johnson was very disappointing. I observed behavior from a front desk employee that I felt was unprofessional and damaging to the hotel’s image. There were negative comments being made about management in a public setting, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. I also witnessed interactions with security staff that I felt lacked professionalism and respect. Guests expect front desk staff to represent the hotel with courtesy, maturity, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not the impression I received. I hope management looks into these concerns and takes appropriate action to maintain the standards and reputation of the hotel. Never come to this hotel for stay in future deserve 0 star

The people were great. The motel was tired and old. It should be illegal to rate it as a 3 star property.

Very disappointed with the professionalism at Howard Johnson. A front desk employee named Simran was speaking negatively about management in front of others, which created an uncomfortable environment. I also witnessed inappropriate behavior toward some GardaWorld security guards working at the property, including taking pictures of them from CCTV footage. This kind of behavior does not reflect well on the hotel and affects its reputation. Management should seriously address this situation and improve professionalism and respect toward staff and guests.
