The room was not ready. I booked a king bed with a pull out couch since they were out of double bed rooms. There were also roaches so be careful😭They didn't have any linen for the pullout. They said that the linen is only for the beds and if I was requesting that I should've said it in the booking. Night Staff was not nice or helpful. Thankfully we were only there for one night. Sketchy area but it's close to SeaWorld and close to shopping centers and restaurants.

The check-in was not a good experience, I had booked a king bed & pull out couch. When I was setting up the pullout I realized there were no sheets/bedding so I went to ask for some and they said they had none that it's only for the beds. I said ok can I have some sheets for the bed and they said they had none that has to be ordered when initially booking the room 😂 wild! Thankfully the bed was big enough we all fit. Also there were roaches in the room🙀. The bathroom shower was leaking the whole time so that was annoying but also the walls are so thin literally heard our neighbor fighting all night so couldn't really sleep. Thankfully we only booked for 1 night

The room was very outdated. The door wouldn't open, had to shove it. We had the same room two years ago and had the same problem, sad. The sink was cracked, and the bathroom exhaust was just hanging there. The parking lot very lit up at night. The breakfast was a waffle and cereal, no bread, fruit, or yogurt. This was the sixth time in five years we've chosen this place. It may say Howard Johnson by Wyndham but actually a Motel 6.

Only 1 out of 3 rooms smelled like smoke. No issues other than the one-room smell. It was conveniently located near MCRD, not far at all. There are plenty of stores around to pick up anything you need. The rooms themselves were your general rooms, neat and clean. Several of the other reviews stated that the doors were stuck, but it was only because they were heavy, which I didn't have any issues with, and I am petite. Great for the price! They also accommodated a late checkout for my Marine to shower and change without a fee.

Do not recommend staying here. The continental breakfast is no longer available- one of the reasons we had booked here. We were never notified of that change. Also is still being advertised on the main road sign . Had also requested a ground level room and roll away bed at the time of booking months prior (due to a mobility issue with a family member) We were told at check they would see if a ground level would be available. Got our room , but the door would not open - seemed as though it was locked from the inside or something. Had to go back to desk again get new keys , and try another room- no apologies or acknowledgment that this was an issue. Requested a roll away bed that we would pay for . We were then told “ oh we don’t do that in two Queen bed rooms “ . We tried many times asking for the extra bed and got the biggest run around from staff and managers . The basically refused and would not help at all - worst customer service. The pool is small and freezing - also when asked at front if there were towels available, the response was “I don’t know maybe some outside “. Room was out dated, bathroom did not look cleaned properly, stains on ceiling. Screw on the floor , large space under main door.

The employee at the window was pretty rude when we had already checked in and only needed the keys. Room 118 had roaches in the closet and bathroom so i assume rest of hotel has them too. Went to take my 2 yr old grand daughter to get orange juice at breakfast there were still people sitting in there but a lady shut the doors and said they are closed i just asked if i could take her in for cup of orange juice she said no we are closed. People were still in their eating and we got turned away not even orange juice for a 2 yr old pathetic and rude
