Howard Johnson by Wyndham Houston Heights Downtown

I don’t know how this place was rated 7/10 on Expedia this place is basically a motel… the rooms smell musty … I feel others should know

The room was nice and a very good price. It is a motel. Once you are in the room it is great. No luxury services. Just a nice room.

Easy access off the freeway. Parking and the room was small.

Extremely dirty, no parking, loud, felt unsafe

Room was downstairs with easy access for older person. Room was clean and neat. Great value for location. Felt safe in that area.

Expected more from a Wyndham managed hotel. The venue was more like an old motel which is a 5-10min drive to the real city downtown. The beds were comfortable but you could tell the room itself had not been properly deep cleaned in some years and we didn't even get new towels

It did the job for a crash pad, but overall kind of meh. Could use an update. The "breakfast" was spartan to say the least.

Would not recommend. Ice machine not working. Roaches in my room in middle of night. Hair from previous guest in tub drain. Magnets on trash can.

Door key stopped working last two days of stay. Had to go to office everytime i needed my door opened. Stayed 4 nights not a single time maid service to clean room.

Great place. Convenient. Close to everything. Rooms clean. Not a lot of parking space.

My bathroom shower was clogged and slimy. Also the shower curtain had dried blood stains..

Dead roaches… never again

Got into room like this.. Very dirty room.

Room was supposed to be "clean" it wasn\'t

I had requested a non-smoking room. As soon as i opened the door, it was obvious someone had smoked in there. I went to the front desk and they immediately gave us another room and checked to make sure it was good. The room was clean and comfortable. It was easy to access and to get to everything near us that we needed.

Place is horrible dirty blood on sheets Concierge was rude. Acted like we were an inconvenience for him because we needed a new clean room. The pictures from Expedia were not the hotel. We came to completely different.

First time I have ever felt it was absolutely necessary to check for bedbugs when I have stayed in hundreds of hotels around the planet. The curtain rods were broken. So being at night, I had to leave all the lights off for privacy otherwise you could see right in. The floors were disgusting, hadn’t been mopped in at least weeks. Literally didn’t take my socks off until I was in the bed with my feet hanging off and put them on before standing out of the bed. Paper cups for the coffee machine were filled with mold on the interior - not at that point like I would have made coffee anyway. Who knows what was done with that coffee machine. People coming and going at all hours, noisy and slamming their room doors. My headboard was covered in lubed handprints. If I wasn’t arriving at 1:30am after a ten hour drive, I would have protested but at that point, I wasn’t even sure where to go. Got a minimum of sleep, maybe 3 hours, and high tailed it out of there. If anyone knows the reputation of the Days Inn in Oakland, CA…. This was league’s worse. The staff was pleasant enough, doubt they have much control over what I experienced. This is a management/owner issue. Absolutely do not recommend this hotel. Avoid at all costs.

I didn’t like how it wasn’t really clean and smelled weird

The rooms were updated and clean. They do not clean during your stay (maybe you need to ask). Breakfast is basic. Personal do not understand English very well

The beds were so hard and uncomfortable it was like sleeping on the floor. There was a coffee maker but there wasn't a pot or cup. Then curtains had something that was sprayed on them and ran down it.

Horrible experience. Bathroom was so small could barely close the door. My son slipped in tub and fell out of it and hit head on toilet. He’s almost 6’ tall and could barely maneuver self to get up. Floors were filthy. Could adjust the AC temperature. Said offer free breakfast it was a packaged muffin the size of a quarter. Waffles only on the weekend. Not the Howard Johnson I expected like others I had stayed.

Easy access off the freeway. Parking and the room was small.

By a high traffic area so loud vehicle noise is a bit disruptive, but otherwise it is tucked away and privacy is nice

Room was clean but needs updating & repairs. Sink drain is slow. Shower head partially clogged. Bed very comfortable. Musty smell. Loud arguing several times during the night and police were called.

It did the job for a crash pad, but overall kind of meh. Could use an update. The "breakfast" was spartan to say the least.

The smell of the room was very muggy, dirty/dusty smelling. All pillows were old, flat and not even enough to fill a standard size pillow case. Remote control didn’t change channels. Only was able to turn tv on and off.

The room was nice and clean. A little noisy, but overall, good. Front desk staff was nice

Ugh! First I had to stand outside in the dark at a glass window waiting for 10 minutes before the front desk person staggered out of a room (at 7:30 pm) to check me in. I’m a female traveling alone for business. This is unacceptable. Obviously no one answered the phone In the office either. So check-in completely sucked. No apology from the guy on duty on top of it. The room was run down and dingy. I don’t think the curtains have been washed for at least a decade. Dirty hand prints everywhere. There was a nasty brown smear on the wall over the bed way up toward the ceiling. I don’t even want to ask… The bedding was old and very tired. Cheap lumpy pillows, a gross old blanket. Yuk! The bathroom was equally dreary. The tub needs a serious upgrade. The door was chipped and nicked and would smash your knees if you sat on the toilet. The walls had stains. Really, what on earth did I pay over $100 for???? All in all, this is on the list of three worst hotels ever anywhere I’ve stayed in the world. I do NOT recommend.

The front desk clerk had a very none caring attitude when I first walked in and maintained that attitude when I came back down to ask for a spare coffee cup for the morning coffee in my room since there wasn't any in my room, The clerk wouldn't even look up at me to see if I may need anything, he was just sitting there working on his computer and wouldn't bother looking up. I found a rodent droppings on my bed on the white sheets. I would have left the premises at that very moment if I were not too tired from my long drive. When initially I entered my room the light switch wouldn't work, I had to use my phone's flash light to find the switch on the desk lamp to be able to unpack. I made a promise not to ever book a room at Howard Johnson again.

Very poor service. No wifi code presented, phone did not work, so limited space for breakfast, staff not helpful and somewhat ignoring. Just a sleep place but nothing else.

Friendly helpful staff in a safe area.

Good location and staff.

Nice for short ternm stay close to highway gas and food the guy that work at front desk is very helpful and nice

Decent place. Nice staff.

Staff was pleasent

This is a small hotel near an interstate. The room was clean and everything was in good shape. Bathroom is small but beautiful wide sink is out in the room area. Breakfast was simple and in a small room. There was a waffle iron but it was not powered up and had no batter. Perhaps if I had asked. There were a few noises during the night as to be expected in an urban location. Close to downtown Houston attractions.

Not as safe as I thought it was going to be

When I tried to get breakfast doir was locked No one was available and no one came to unlock door. Couple next to my room argue all night. Never again.

Service was good. Coffee was great in the morning

breakfast cereal without no milk why

Not bad for a quick visit, horrible breakfast…
