This place is a dump. Police were at the facility one morning for who knows what. The elevator smells. The towels were terrible. The soap is terrible. Beds uncomfortable and small pillows. Extremely noisy next to the highway. Thank God my stay is over. I did not feel safe here and I would never recommend staying here unless it's a last resort.

The price was right. The staff seemed a bit disorganized. We were not given a receipt for our stay because the printer was broken. I gave my email to get a receipt, and one day later I have not gotten the email receipt needed for a reimbursement.

Very disappointed. I spent $281 for one night and the hotel room was not cleaned well. Not as advertised. I will never go back.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your recent stay and feedback about our hotel. I apologize you felt this way during your stay. Our team always strives to give the service our guests expect & deserve. I appreciate the comments as we are always looking for ways to improve the service we give our guests. I wish to apologize for the lack of cleaning that was provided by our housekeeping department. That is unacceptable and has already been addressed with our housekeeping team. I would also like to apologize for the lack of service you received during your stay. That really is not our norm, please know it is always our goal to exceed our guest's expectations and in this case, it is evident that we have fallen short. Thank you again for being our guest and we do hope you will return and allow us another opportunity to provide you with an experience you would expect from an establishment like ours! Best Regards, Howard Johnson Hotel Circle Customer Care Team

The location has lots of traffic noise. Rooms are not soundproof. The bathroom outlets did not work so I had to blow dry my hair and in the living room. My keycard did not work the second day of my stay. Front desk had to reactivate it. Parking lot is tight. Property could use an update.
