For a Howard Johnson property, this was a subpar facility.

GRADES:

Bar: ("B") If you're into kareokee, you're in luck. The bar serves food (cafe menu) and has slot machines in the corner. The staff was friendly....it's only redeeming feature.

Cafe: ("D") Slow, understaffed and kind of grummy. If you want cheap that's what you get.

Front Desk: ("C") Resembles a Star Trek Convention. The lifeforms behind the counter are truely out of the mainstream. At times, I was treated as though I was bothering them. Trying to get my American currency exchanged there was like pulling teeth and the exchange rate was horrible (ended up going to a bank across the street). During my stay, I'd witnessed several incidents where outsiders were escorted out of the building. The hotel is next to a night club and often attrats scummy people.

Room: ("C") So-So. Looks like a Motel 6, only a bit bigger. I had a double-bed standard room with TV, desk, and sofa. The bathrom looked like it came from a cookie cutter factory.

Overall: ("C-") If you want a cheap hotel near the airport zone, this is it. But the place overall looks runned down.
