Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lenox

I did not know what to expect in an old motel refitted with all the corporate standard furniture and decor. Mattress was way to soft, no support, two of the lampshades had mold on them, there was more dust than expected in a Wyndham room. Frayed around the edges, but at core it was a good room at a good price and we would stay there again.

It was fine.

Older property but maintained okay. It is fairly close to a busy road with the expected traffic noise. Daily housekeeping which some places have gotten away from so that was nice. Decent location. There was nothing really bad about it just nothing really good about it either hence the 3 stars.

Location was great. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was terrible. Bathroom had hair in it.

The room was enormous didn't feel cramped at all like some hotels. There for one night, the pool looked pretty decent, didn't have time to try it out. The room had a fairly strong odor of old cigarette smoke. A deep cleaning would probably help. The carpet seemed fairly new, but felt as though it was installed over an old carpet. Installation was done poorly, some corners not tacked down properly. What I disliked the most and seemed sort of sketchy was at check in. I'm used to hotels taking a deposit on a credit card for incidentals, but this hotel asked for my ID, again not too unusual, but the clerk scanned it and made a photocopy. I've never seen this done before anywhere, unless I missed clerks being more discreet. They did not ask for a credit card, just took a copy of my license, the clerk said they hold the copy for 15 days and then shred the copies. It just sounds weird. Would I stay there again? If it was just an overnight and really inexpensive, maybe. But it is not a vacation destination hotel.
