    the property cancelled my reservation then charged me $300 more to rent the same room when i got there.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    bed bug! rude staff! Vomit hidden underneath a round table! They never came to clean it up, NEVER! Sketchy gang-members looking at you as you check-in, sheets that smell half-cleaned, so much more! come for the SD attractions, stay for the bed bugs, yup that sums it up!

    Poor management, dirty, peeling paint, no shampoo, not enough towels, check in clerk sitting with bare feet on counter

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Was charged twice, room didn’t have any towels. Door was slanted and didn’t close right, window wouldn’t shut close also so we could hear everyone walking by. Not a good stay at all

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was not terrible, i was actually surprised when walking in. I didn't see bugs, but I also didn't feel comfortable sleeping under the blankets and did not shower. The "free breakfast" was bread, cereal, milk, coffee, water and apples, everything else was "out of order". The vending machines were sold out of everything. The ice machine is outside and disgusting. The night clerk that was there when checking in was kind, but seemed in a hurry to get me in and out. The morning clerk was short, and not approachable. There are far worse places to lay your head, but if you are looking for anything more than that, I would suggest going somewhere else.

    Of the trip, which this hotel was literally the cheapest option that night in town. Crazy! Do not recommend!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was dirty and poorly maintained. Staff canceled one of our reservations and were unwilling and uncooperative to help us find other arrangements. In 4 days house keeping never came by our rooms even after requesting service and lastly one of our work trucks was broken into and approximately 8k worth of tools were stolen.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very dirty and dusty, the floor is chipping. A lot of people tried to check in at night time and the staff keep asking somebody name instead of helping the customer one by one.

    I was extremely disappointed with my stay at the Howard Johnson on Hotel Circle. The room did not feel clean or properly maintained. In the bathroom area, there was visible dirt, stains, and what looked like grime or possible mold around the toilet and corners. The towel also appeared dirty/stained, which made the room feel unsanitary. The furniture and shelving had stains, marks, and dirty spots that looked like they had not been properly wiped down. Overall, the room felt neglected and not up to a basic hotel standard. Cleanliness is one of the most important things when staying at a hotel, and this room made me uncomfortable. I expected much better from a hotel guest room. Management should inspect these rooms more carefully and make sure they are cleaned thoroughly before allowing guests to check in. I would not recommend staying here unless serious improvements are made.

    Room was not the cleanest. Dirty floors ripped headboard. Had problems with toilet first couple of mornings. Room service did not thoroughly replace towels and toiletries. Manager was not willing to help right away when we reported we had no towels in our room after room service failed to replace them.

    Наверное, она стоит этих денег.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    waited an hour for management and still no show for assistance, no towels, floors were sticky, outlets didn’t work, bed covers were just sheets, pillows had stains on it. Easy accessible location to things. Only perks is the location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was very dirty shower didn’t drain the ac unit was leaking in the room toilet paper holder not attached very disappointed!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The bedding was clean and the location was ideal for everything we had planned, having said that, HoJo’s is not what it used to be. I don’t even think they had anything to do with Howard Johnson’s besides the sign. There were guest banging on doors late at night, activity in the parking lot that was questionable. The rooms looked like they haven’t been wiped down in awhile. I’ve been in worse so things like this don’t really bother me. I’m just thankful there were no bed bugs and we had a place to stay.
