Howard Johnson by Wyndham Merrillville

Overall experience is good

There was nothing that I liked about this property the surrounding area I checked into my hotel. I asked for our room on the first floor. She told me she couldn’t accommodate me that it was all booked up, but I don’t. I only seen about six cars outside in the hotel parking lot on the second floor in room 231 the room was dirty. The bathroom had old toothpaste on the wall the showerhead lint at the top of it don’t know how it got there. The remote did not have batteries in the TV was stuck on so I couldn’t even watch TV. The air conditioner did not work ,half the lights did not work in the room I spent majority of my time away. I only came here to sleep my first night, returning back to my hotel to go to sleep. There was a raccoon at the door. The door was left open for anybody to just open it up and walk through. There was no sense of security, this state was horrible. I visit this hotel last year in March. The pool was closed and when I stayed just now, the pool was still closed so it’s been over a year that the pool has been closed I will not be returning to this property ever this property should not be open. I am contacting the Better Business Bureau code enforcers and the health department needs to be shut down ASAP.

The staff were excellent. They were very kind and accommodating. They always had a smile and always said good morning. The room was nice but some of the furniture was old and had seen better days though the bed was very comfortable. Overall, I thought the room was quite nice. I really liked that the room was not carpeted but it would be nice to have a little broom and dust pan in the room. Most of the hotel was closed off for renovations, which was not disclosed online so we were a little disappointed but we made the best of it. The breakfast provided quite a few options but it did get old having the same thing everyday. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would likely be willing to stay there again.

Pulls up to the property and looks abandoned ok cool maybe remodeling. Goes in the inside I said are you guys remodeling the front desk lady say it’s already done. Looks pretty much old and abandoned unsafe giving all the room doors was opened and them room was dirty and still looked like it need some work done. I go and look at the room I was going to stay in and it was dirty stains on the furniture bed look like somebody already laid in it and the room was funky. Overall the hotel looks like a hunted house and trucker should go there and shower. It shouldn’t even be open any more Dated may9,2025

Great staff comfortable beds and very clean not to mention very affordable

The motel was for sure out of the at a dead end road. The highway was close by, so was noisy from that. I liked the newer laminate floors, however it is very outdated and needs a major up lift. There was rust every where. My queen bed was broke and leaned side ways making it hard to sleep. Breakfast was good. Parking was good. Staff very friendly.

This place is old and extremely outdated!!! Horrible smell.. and furniture is old rooms are vacant with the door left wide open and all

The staff was helpful and attentive. But all the furniture was very old and dirty. There was maintenance and repair. The fitness center was very bad. It was very different from how it looked online. We had to leave without staying even one night.

The beds were comfortable. The pool was out of service and so was the elevator. The staff was nice.

I didn't like my stay checking in the lady changed the room several times I asked for a room for a handicap do to a stroke and using a cane i got the last room 132 thats infected with ants in the bathroom, on the table, night stand, wall I will not be back here then they charge you 75 dollars for any damages I need my 75 dollars plus more with them ants crawling everywhere.
