What guests think

Reviews of Howard Johnson by Wyndham Williamstown describe a basic, budget-friendly motel with very friendly staff and generally clean rooms, but with dated buildings, inconsistent maintenance, and limited amenities that sometimes do not match expectations or listings.

Rooms are often spacious with comfortable beds, but thin curtains, noise between rooms, temperature control issues, and occasional broken fixtures are noted. The pool is not always available, and parking can be tricky or icy in winter, though snow is plowed early. Breakfast is a simple continental spread; several guests reported limited selection or equipment problems, while a few found it adequate for the price. Expect a no-frills, value-focused stay.

For a short stay, this is a good choice Check in was easy The room was very cold, heat was off and did not warm up for at least 3 hours Note to management: maybe set the heat to 60 on weekends? I thought the microwave was broken, it was unplugged Same thing with the little coffee maker Bed- comfy Bathroom appears recently updated the large wall tiles look easy to clean, there are no handholds or anything to grab onto if you slip though, Floor is super slippery Bathtub does not hold water, I desperately wanted a hot bath due to the bone chillingly cold room Restaurant is advertised: not found There is a modest, breakfast area but n o indication of a restaurant The absolute worst thing was the morning noise- there was a light dusting of snow, and a gentleman was plowing the parking lot He had the plow dropped so low that I expected to see chunks of asphalt flying through the air each time he scraped across a section of the lot

We stayed in the I guess the annex building. It was fine, clean. The bathroom needs updating. Pool was very clean, breakfast was just simple coffee, muffins. Staff and the owners were very nice. Good location for what we wanted to do/see.

Very nice people. Great snow plowing early helped us get on the road early. Would be nice if breakfast started at 6:30 - 7 am

It is very rundown and need of repair. Although the pool was repaired when i was there. The room was in decent shape but it didn't have a closet or hanger bar to hang clothing upon. The breakfast area wasn't kept up - no resupply, no taking out the trash. I'm surprised Wyndham associates with it.

Everything was very clean and the desk staff was very polite. The pool was closed, the TV didn't stay on, chair in room was broken, and large gap on bottom of door allowed mosquitoes in. Perfect for one night because of location.

The motel room was large, clean and very nicely decorated. My only complaint is that the pool was out of service. Why they chose to chemically treat it over Labor Day weekend is incomprehensible. I chose this hotel specifically for the pool, so I was very disappointed.

In an effort to keep things short and sweet; parking is tough with a truck - the motel was full. We picked this hotel because everything in the area was booked for the weekend. When we arrived we were handed a hotel key in a paper sleeve that looked like it had been used for 100 guests before us. The room neat but everything in it was worn and furniture dirty. No blinds other than thin curtains that would allow for anyone to see inside. Kids toys, old hotel furniture and construction debris outside on the property. Staff was nice enough but would avoid staying here again unless all other options had been exhausted.

The state was average, not sure if it was because I got a reduced rate through hotels.com but I was put in a different section of the motel. The entry door to the hallway of the building did not lock and it appears that it had not been finished. This was the same way it was last year at the same time. The refrigerator had a block of ice as though it had never been defrosted or even looked at because it damaged the freezer section of the refrigerator. The bed slanted toward the head. And there was chunks of plastic missing out of the lens for the light in the bathroom. Would that aside the room was clean and the staff was courteous.

We stayed in the "other" building as the staff described it. This was the worst room I have ever stayed in. I killed two bugs and 4 spiders. Had to clean spider webs that were hanging over the bed. There were multiple stains on the floor and on towels. I highly recommend anyone considering staying here to look elsewhere.

Dried blood on the bed sheets. How bad can it get. I stripped the bed and slept in my clothes. I’m not exaggerating. Disgusted with my stay and the $100 markup above their normal rate.

The rooms were tasteful, cheerful and emaculate. We have been searching for lovely, reasonably priced accommodations for our annual trips to Williamstown and we have definitely found them here. The beds were so comfortable, the room felt spacious and the bathroom had extra perks. We will return , highly recommend!

I appreciate the fact that they let me check in early right after work to get some sleep but I couldn’t even sleep, there were no curtains 😩 the light was shining through, the door lock was broken, the place was so sketchy and the hot water took more than 5 minutes to get hot. For the price of this a night, they should have better conditions or at least some curtains!!

Check in was slow process with many interruptions due to incoming calls given priority. Then the first given room had no electricity working in one wall. 2nd room provided pretty quickly and tho it was clean and comfortable there were no bar/s of soap or shampoo and no closet or extra pillow. The breakfast area was also being used for storage of stacks of boxes and furniture in corner and no AC here or front lobby/desk.

Room was fairly clean. The small window was wide open with no screen when we checked in. The TV did not work and the remote didn’t work either. There was one arm chair and a matching footstool which had some stains on them. There were various mis matched prints in the room from the rug, the chair the curtains and the bed strip. In order to use the light on the table next to the bed, I had to unplug either the microwave or the mini fridge in order to use the outlet. The continental breakfast was fine and a small variety of cereals, bagels, breads, hard boiled eggs, coffee and tea. The service was good but we were expecting the high quality of a Wyndham Hotel for 210$ but instead got an old hotel from the 70’s.

Breakfast was nothing hot but they did have hard-boiled eggs and great fresh juice options including guava. Bread/bagels offered was pretty fresh.
