What guests think

At Howard Johnson by Wyndham Evansville East, travelers describe a budget-friendly, older property with generally friendly staff and basic amenities, but with inconsistent upkeep, variable room comfort, and a breakfast that many find limited for longer stays.

Many note clean, comfortable rooms, yet recurring reports mention musty or smoke odors, slow drains, worn fixtures, and occasional pests including roaches and isolated bedbug reports. Rooms feel dated, beds and pillows range from comfy to lumpy, doors can slam loudly, and Wi‑Fi or TV performance is unreliable. Location is praised for easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the freeway, while the shuttle and pool are useful but inconsistent in availability or upkeep. Overall, expect a simple, low-cost stay with trade-offs in maintenance and consistency.

The property has declined over the years. . Pool was not super clean. TV remote didn't work. Breakfast was average. Good coffee, though. Bathroom door didn't close. Bathtub shower paint was cracked and peeling. Clean and comfortable bed and room, though.

The beds were comfortable. Breakfast options... limited. Parking adequate. Lots of disrepair. Our toilet rested on a tile floor & was not secure, wobbled. The bathtub faucet handle wasn't secure & required lots of movement before the temperature would change. The drywall was torn & showed signs of moisture within. The "secure" entry at the end of our wing was not functional.

There was ample, free parking. The lot was clean. Check in was simple. The hotel key card worked great, at all times. The bed was comfortable. The tv had a great picture. Plenty of tv channels. The linen was ample and clean. The breakfast had a great selection.

I would not recommend. I used the airport shuttle and was told to call the front desk to schedule my return from the airport. When I called, I was told I needed to get an uber to get back to my vehicle. They only do a one way shuttle to the airport.

I was there for two nights and the hotel seem to have been renovated and it was probably the nicest Howard Johnson's I've ever stayed in. The rooms were spacious, the bed was comfortable and quiet. On the negative side, the pillows were so thick and heavy that it was impossible to sleep. There were two shuttle vans that advertised transportation but when I asked for a shuttle to drive just 1.5 Mi away, they refused and said they only went to and from the airport. Breakfast was okay but in 2 days the only hot food they had was biscuits and sausage gravy, which many Americans do not like including myself.

Conveniently located facility by the mall, but the breakfast was lacking in options and nutrition, and we had a roach crawling on us during the night. Little was offered as remedy other than some minimal Wyndham rewards points that likely will not be of benefit to us. The pool was a positive and useful feature, but pool towels were unavailable.

Completely confused on the good reviews online from this establishment. This place is awful. The room was extremely dirty with animal urine on the wall, dead bugs, and a strong odor of musty urine and mold. We were offered a different room which when we entered that room smelled strong of musty mold. This room was "cleaner", but the smell and the air flow was not working. As we were leaving (we didn't stay here, we checked out 30 mins after arriving and had to find a different hotel), there was an actual "business deal" happening in the parking lot. Just totally unsafe. I did get my money back thankfully so I was happy about that as I had to pay for an entire different hotel for my family.

This hotel is far from the 8/10 rating. The room was gross. You could feel dirt in the sheets, there was what could’ve been blood on the white bathroom door & was dirty, the bath-mat towel looked filthy…the bathroom door wouldn’t open from the inside. There was a dirty spot on our bed sheet (pic attached) & something dirty on the white headboard. All around the caulk of the bathroom vanity had filth like it never gets wiped. While the bed was comfortable, we didn’t sleep great just because it felt dirty.

Didnt like propertt due to the room being dirtt, did not even get the room that i booked, when i tried to tell them i booked a double bed room, they argued and said no it was single, so i showed my reservation, then they proceeded to tell me there were no double queen bed rooms available but they would bring us an air mattress... this air matress was terrible, barely held air, and was thin..hardly would call it an air mattress, might as well slept on the floor. The room was not cleaned, it had preciously been smoked in, burn marks all on the chairs, cusions, nasty stains on them, food on the floor, dirty towels. I will not be staying there ever again.

I stayed in room 271 and the room was nice and big, the only problem i had was the bathroom shower and tub water pressures was week, had to go next door to my daughter room to take a showe and bath, that hotel is definitely in need of some upgrades, and there breakfast needs to be something different insted of biscuit and gravy

We stayed 5 nights at the Howard Johnson hotel in Evansville for the Fall Festival and to visit family. This hotel needed major renovations and updating. It felt like we were in a hotel from the 90s and no upgrades were ever done since then. However, the hotel staff were friendly. Special thanks to Ms. Peggy, one of the housekeeping staff, who exemplified amazing customer service. She was very so personable and hospitable. She made our stay more pleasant. We did encounter a bug during our stay and that was all she wrote. Though we had some positive experiences, that is not enough to return for next year’s stay. This hotel is only meant for a one night stay and not for an extended stay. We will be staying in another hotel in 2026. I hope Wyndham will make some major changes to improve the appearance of this hotel.

The walls are all paper thin. You can hear literally everything from in your room. I was under a group of men who were clearly wasted and making a huge spectacle in the middle of the night for hours straight. Not sure how they weren't asked to stop disturbing others.

He wouldn’t even allow me to get the room. Since I booked 3rd party and not through their site. The price difference made it where I had to pay extra but that shouldn’t be the case as I said. The front desk employee “Yujah” was very rude, unprofessional, and kept wanting to See my personal information when he said he had it on his computer. IT HAS CHARGED $85.91 to my CARD! I wasn’t even able to check in. I’m contacting his branch’s support because it was so unpleasant and unprofessional.

The service was terrible. When I checked in my 6 rooms, they charged a $50 fee to be refunded in two weeks! And this fee was applied to each room. The manager and staff were very rude and had zero respect towards me and my group. However the breakfast staff were amazing and kind. Terrible service, decent rooms, good breakfast.
