This isn't a place you want to spend time at. No amenities, nothing walkable to in the vicinity, not very clean, noisy airplane traffic. If you think it's like an airport hotel, it's not. It's like a dilapidated motel. I didn't feel terribly safe there, didn't do my research properly before booking. However, the person behind the bullet proof front desk was cordial to me.

The rate was cheap, the bedding was comfortable and the room was quiet enough for a sound sleep. I only crashed here for 7 hours and wanted a place close to the Airport. The owners could do better if they merely picked up trash surrounding the exterior. The place will do for an overnight crash pad.

Males smoking weed in front of the property. The entire property including our non smoking room smelled like cigarettes and weed. There was bullet proof glass window at the check in counter. It seemed like an apartment building where people live. Would not recommend to anyone.

To many homeless people, security guard was not doing his job, place was dirty outside of the property, walkways inside smell like weed. You walk outside and had people watching you to see what you doing. Did not feel safe at all.

The first impression of this hotel was, what have we gotten our self into? The outside area did not look safe and when our uber driver dropped us off, he asked, did we have a car parked here because the hotel was behind some car parking lot. We asked to see the room before we checked in. We had 2 rooms. We were shown one room and it was fine. After we committed to stay and we went to the other room, the bathroom was horrible. It looked like the drain in the tub had stopped up and there were black stuff half the way up the tub. The hotel service did change us to a different after we brought it to their attention. We ate breakfast there the next morning and that food was really good. We will be staying at this hotel again.

Howard Johnson sucks - do not book
It was very disgusting. Hair in tub, stains on bed sheets and pillows. Non smoking but smelt of marijuana and cigarettes. No shuttle like other hotels around the area to the airport. Very sketch area and people. Would not recommend to my worst my emeny. Wife and son got rashes, and we stayed literally for our layover which was the same day. They probably got bed bugs too. This place is worse then a redroof inn.
