Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ridgecrest, CA

As we checked in, we were told that they charge a security deposit because they often have bed bugs from campers that stay there. That was a turn off. The room was very small and outdated. We stayed for 30 minutes while booking a room at a different hotel.

Although general outward appearance looked freshly painted,the room left some undesirable problems. Stains on the carpet and the bedspread.tv missing a remote controller so tv didnt work.Attendant came from office and got it worling but when the tv was shut off,we couldnt get it working again.Basin i b-room had a crack running through it.Towel holder fell off the wall.shower floor looked dirty and stained. Bed was comfortable as the pillows

The person at the front desk was great. Check in and out were very easy. Breakfast was surprisingly plentiful despite the lack of space. They are doing some construction to make a lounge area. The room was okay. We slept well, which is the main point. The shower did not produce hot water and is also quite small. Parking was right in front of our room and it was nice to be in a single story building. My main complaint besides the lack of hot water is the doors. The bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and the front door was also sticky. We couldn’t use the security lock on the door because it doesn’t quite line up.

The hotel was good. However, we paid a $100 deposit per room (two rooms) and we didn’t receive the deposit refund.The reservation was made by Hotels.com. We contacted the hotel through the Hotels.com platform and the Howard Johnson website, but they didn’t asmwer us. We are still waiting an answer and the refund.

Great receptionist. Outstanding girl in all aspects and a new hire she said.
