Not much to say. They allow smoking, and 99.9% of hotels don’t. There’s no other reason to stay there.

It was good - I left days inn to stay there the only issue is someone walked in to my room without knocking to clean without even us checking. Out so I’m unhappy about that it was messed up and took away our privacy!

I didn’t realize I had booked a smoking room, which I did not want. The check-in clerk switched us over to a non-smoking before I even had a chance to ask. Excellent customer service.

Insulting check-in and overstepping bounds.
When I first checked in, the person at the counter kept repeating "sir, you have to understand, no guests are permitted." 4 times she said that. As if to ensure I was not going to have hire any prostitutes or go pick random women up for a fling. If this was a private b&b, I would expect those kinds of rules but a Howard Johnson? I found her insistence to be quite insulting and it isn't anyone's business why I'm here I in town. I'm here for a medical procedure the next day but, again, that's no one's business but my own. The room was stifling hot when I first got in here. The remote for the TV doesn't work. It is clean and it got cool once the AC had been on for an hour or so.
