Howard Johnson by Wyndham Merrillville

Where to start, the front desk attendant was nodding off as she was trying to program my roomkey. She was without a doubt under the influence of opiates or sedatives. The room smelled musty, no Kleenex or toilet paper in the room, the garbage had not been taken out from the last guest. There was no remote for the TV. And the toilet didn't flush. And to top it all off, no shampoo, soap, or lotion in the room. Linens were filthy. This place needs some serious work. This property was stunning when it was the Carlton Lodge. Now it's a seedy drug den. I should be refunded. That place is absolutely filthy.

This place is dirty they don't have no TV you don't have no remote controls you don't have no Channel it's terrible service

It was horrible, the rooms had pets and the entrance was terrible. To describe my stay was unacceptable and I didn’t really stay I went to another hotel. The first room I was suppose stay in door was not working. The owners had the only key card to get in the room and didn’t want to provide me with a working key. I was moved to another room where ants was in the bed, the shower was unbearable and there was stains on the couch in my room.

Everything

The room

One guy that worked the front desk was rude but the older man and women where ok

This hotel was suggested by our Allstar team who was traveling to compete in Regional tournament.

Nothing outside was mowed or maintained properly. Deck overlooking the lake was definitely a safety hazard. Hotel has a lot of potential but is in dire need of immediate updates and proper ground keeping. The rest of our team left after one night and stayed elsewhere. We unfortunately stayed and as the weekend approached and arrived safety became questionable.

I checked in here and checked out same day. The property was unkept on the outside. The rooms were not clean. The lobby was dark. I was extremely dissatisfied.

Price

I was in a room close to a rear exit and outside that door was trash and piled old dirty mattresses

DO NOT STAY HERE ! A slum hotel the worst place i have ever seen . I lost a $90 reservation because i wouldnt stay her because it was not safe as well as being absolutely filthy.
