Howard Johnson by Wyndham Merrillville

Decent

I have no words. The hotel looked like it was closed down when we arrived. Any company advertising this hotel on their site should send a representative to the premises so can witness for themselves what a terrible experience they are subjecting their customers to. We had to place a chair in front of our door as it didnt lock. This wouldnt have kept potential intruders out, but at least we would have heard any attempts of entry. Since the contract with Hotel.com was we had to cancel before date of stay we had no alternative, but to stay there or lose our money.

This property must have been a condemned an recently bought. Owners should not have opened this property to be a rent ready hotel. Outside is terrible with no curb appeal. They are trying to make the building look better but there is construction debris everywhere along with a large amount of trash everywhere. Property needs mowing and landscaping needs a LOT of help. Bushes and trees dead and grass and flowers beds need a lot of work. Fountain needs repair. The pictures online are deceiving and deceptive. The pool is scary looking and definitely doesn't look like you could enjoy. The Full breakfast was just bread and a few cereal, not even a contintial breakfast. No drinks but Sunny D and milk. Rooms are severely outdated and need improvement. Bed was lumpy and my wife was bitten by some type of bug. We think it was bed bugs. I could go on further but I think everyone is getting a clear picture. Stay away and save your money. They even have a no refund sign posted at the desk while you check in. You ve been warned.

Didn’t stay. Hotel was filthy.
