Room doors slam and it’s very noisy. Vending machine doesn’t work. What little breakfast food they had was awful. I will definitely not stay there again.

Pleasant stay
The hotel was comfortable and one of the more reasonable places we can take our 2 dogs over Christmas! The room was perfect with small fridge, ground level and comfortable bed. Coffee in the morning was good and all employee interactions were pleasant.

We did not expect anything other than clean, repaired and safe. There were holes in the walls and ceiling some suspiciously looking like camera holes. Black mold in the shower. We have stayed there before, but never again.

First, the woman that checked us in was very friendly and accommodating, but it’s all downhill from there. The non smoking room had clearly been smoked in, and recently. We were moved to a different room after the desk attendant went to the room to verify the smell of smoke. I had traveled with other people, so we had a total of three rooms. Room 104 has a round hole in the ceiling as well as a small round hole at the top of the wall… we figured it was a camera hole at some point. It was stuffed with what looked like tin foil. Why not spackle the holes shut and paint over them?? Needless to say, there was no disrobing anywhere but the bathroom. Room 103 has a hole the size of a football behind the door with clear packing tape over it… whatever good it was doing. The third room had hair on the bed sheets… beyond gross. The entire hotel needs a renovation or deep clean. There were some questionable guests that were up well into the middle of the night dropping expletives loud enough to hear through the walls. But, I know you cannot expect much with Ho Jo. Price, stars and location were also red flags, but the person I was traveling with had booked the rooms, Lesson learned!

Mold on the ceiling in the pool area. Paper thin walls. Too many noisy customers. AC and fridge in the room made rattling or high pitched noise. You could say the property is retro if you mean it has never been updated or repaired since it was built. Rooms were expensive because of state football so way overpriced.
