Howard Johnson by Wyndham Pikesville

I checked in real late, the front desk was very polite. Checked me right in. The lobby looks fine. i walked upstairs to my room on the 2nd floor and was a lil freaked out. Its 3am, and there were some doors slighty open and the floors and walls are not very clean. Im tired so i just want to get into my room. The door was too small for the frame. There was about an inch of space all around the door... when i entered the room it smelt like someone was blowing cigarette smoke right into my face.. it was grose. I didnt want to go back to the lobby, im going to wait it out until morning. The bedding did not have bed bugs, i always check...however there were many cigarette burns and stains on the sheet and blanket... i.put towels on the bed,slept in my clothes and wore my sweater over my face as a filter. When the sun came up i changed rooms. Now im on the 1st floor not far from the lobby so i felt a lil more.comfort. I couldn't get the door open, so i went back to the front desk, and a maintenance man opened my door for me. He used his key flipped the door handle up and did 2 body slams into the door to get it open.... i said your joking right, this is how i have to open the door??? The room was cleaner and it didnt smell. He said most the doors are like that, and that i was in one of the better rooms :/ my coworker showed up and we stayed 5 nights. On Saturday Ppl hung outside my window, and i had strange nocks on my door, would not stay here by myself.

Very dirty disgusting didn’t stay left to another hotel

already checked what the positives. the actual room left mush to be desired. very poor condiitions as far as furniture that was falling apart, the carpet was filthy, the night stand was uncleaned. the king bed, had only 2 small pillows. limited bath towels present too. fluorescent light above microwave didn't work. there were no hangers for the closet. even with calm weather the wi-fi, was spotty and buffering constantly. that meant endless wait times on laptop, and terrible tv reception. no in-room phone to call desk for service. although the staff was helpful and friendly, i would never recommend this hotel to anyone, and i would certainly never book there again.

Will not stay there

It has been my worst visit at Howard Johnson's hotel, in my entire life, AND they were the most expensive ones with having no breakfast!

Here at the Howard Johnson Inn center, a place we wouldn’t recommend to visit whatsoever, our stay did not last up to 20 minutes, and there were and are a variety of reasons to say this. Beginning with our entrance into the hotel, as we entered a dim and evidently-inapropriatedly cared building. Additionally, the images advertised did not capture at all the place’s atmosphere nor true appearance. However, the staff attendant was polite and humble, which makes it a bit of a more decent and place. People like him deserve to be at better-cared places Overall, we did not enjoy this visit at all. The hotel must be improved.

I felt better than at home.

Worst misleading rating I have ever encountered. The room had one light, for the whole room. One light. The area was creepily unsafe by day, nor did I want to know how bad it was at night

I never checked in when I learned there was no hot water. Since I had a reservation hotel could have notified me before I wasted time going to the location and having to find an alternate hotel. Front doors were wide open during a heat wave so suspect air conditioning didn’t work either.

Hotel smelt so bad. No hot water and ended up canceling the reservation.
