Howard Johnson by Wyndham Helena

The price was what made me book to begin with. Then it was stated that there was a pool and continental breakfast.

But I had no idea that it was under renovations. So no pool, no breakfast, WiFi was so slow, room was old and dingy looking and not as clean as it could be. Smelled like construction and had to always ask for more towels, garbage to be taken out. Overall look of the place was sad and neglected.

Nothing, the dirtiest most pathetic motel I have ever stayed in.

Not sure when the last time the floors were vacuumed. I found fecal matter on the wall and on the bathtub. There is no hair dryer. Looks like they washed the mirrors with a dirty rag.

Lumpy, saggy mattress. A stray sock from the previous guest. A dim lobby. Trash and filth left in the hallway from construction crew doing renovations. A broken chair. No Kleenex (!!!). Not much to love here.

Room wasn’t very clean, one bed was dirty, toe nail clippings in the floor. There was no breakfast even though online it said there was.

The view out our window.

It was filthy dirty.

The towels were old and stained. The entire floor stunk in the hallways.

The stay was very accommodating, friendly, and happy. The motel was average, but appropriate for the price. It needs a good deep-cleaning, especially where the baseboard joins the floor. The pool was empty, and there was green, thick water in the hot tub.

This hotel is deplorable, disgusting, and if you don’t leave here itching and in shock, feeling like you just got taken advantage of, I would be surprised. We showed up around midnight, booking on a third party non-refundable website, after a long day of driving cross country. We just needed a quick place to rest before we continued on in the morning. What a horrible mistake. First of all, we booked for the free breakfast. THERE IS NO BREAKFAST. We checked in, the whole hotel smells like a dumpster. We get to our first room and the beds had VERY clearly been slept in and just re-made. Creased sheets, hair/pubes, pillows smelled like cologne….. we requested a different room. The second room was SO MUCH WORSE!!! Vomit on the walls and floor, loogies spat on the walls dripping down, a toilet that didn’t flush, stained carpets, yellow pillows missing pillow cases, the list goes on! So we requested a THIRD room. I will attach pictures because this room was still disgusting….. the threadbare sheets were literally tattered, bloody boogers wiped on the walls, crusty piss all over the toilets, the bathroom looked like it was wiped down with toilet paper because there were remnants of it all over the walls….. and this was the room we settled for BECAUSE THE OTHERS WERE SO MUCH WORSE!!! We were informed this was non refundable and we were so exhausted that we stayed. We left the next day hungry, dirty, ashamed, and in shock. We laughed about it the whole way home as we read hundreds of horrendous reviews (which we clearly didn’t read before booking). Please do yourself a favour and sleep in your car instead of staying here. This place is a health hazard and should be shut down.
