Howard Johnson by Wyndham Merrillville

The hotel is aged and is in need of a major renovation. The housekeeping is not impressive. A dirty hairy towel was left in the bathroom hanging on shower curtain rack. The shower curtain and bedspread had stains. The staff was ver nice. The hotel itself needs a major overhaul. I can't believe that this is a Wyndham Hotel. Wyndham dropped the ball on this hotel.

The only good thing i have to say about the property was that the lady who initially checked me in and helped me switch rooms was very polite and helpful. The rest was a nightmare. Stephen king could easily find inspiration from even just one night here. Dead bugs everywhere. No AC on the hottest day of the year. Broken furniture and appliances are scattered throughout the property. My first room smelled like stale cigarettes and had no working fridge. The second room, a king suit, had burns in the curtains, no ac, the fridge was in the middle of the room leaving a huge ugly empty spot near the wall where it was meant to go. I had to fix the TV, there was a huge birds nest obstructing the window, the faucet was installed incorrectly in the shower, and where the floor met the ceiling and in the corners of the room there is clear space that shouldnt be there. I would request a full refund at this time and warn anyone against going here for a night. Several gunshots overnight, woke up saturday to beer cans and trash scattered all over the front of the property. Hallway upstairs smelled like weed also. And all staff other than the one woman i mentioned were unattentive and rude. We basically had to beg for toilet paper and extra towels, which where handed over with a very sarcastic attitude. There's more and I have photos. The city should shut this place down. The phone didnt even work.

Room was dirty, grounds littered with trash --beer cans, had one coffee pod- decaf at that, and one cup for my stay. Hallway cunningly decorated with a toilet plunger which remained in place as long as I was there. The receptionist was great though.

Property is under construction and the pictures posted was not what it looks like in person! The grounds haven’t been kept up the patio by the pond was what I was looking forward to and it’s not at all what the pictures showed. Some windows broken. Mattresses outside laying by the side entrance. It’s okay for quick shower and nap.

Quiet, hallways were not as clean as they should have been. Service was good, breakfast was ok.

Just do not go there. Massive facility issues including a/c not working, room keys also didnt work. Not enough staff/cheap prices = chaos. We stayed an hour before leaving. When attempting to get a refund an impromptu fist fight broke out in the lobby. Just dont go. The whole area is sketchy....

Bad

Driving in there was weeds and trash in all the areas! Our rooms air wasn't sufficient, TV didn't work, ice maker broken and the advertised bar was not open. In general, we had to leave because of the horrific conditions! This hotel shouldn't be advertised until it is remodeled.

Property appeared abandoned. Air in room did not work front desk woman screamed at me for 10 mins before changing rooms. Most rooms under construction pool is not open food is not cooked properly and unsafe to eat. We all got sick after eating the breakfast. Nothing is at appears in pictures on Expedia. HORRIBLE AND UNSAFE DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Should be shut down and condemned!!!!

You get what you pay for
