Howard Johnson by Wyndham Winter Haven FL

They wouldn't let me stay in the same room when it extended my stay

First of all, the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms itself is another story. I was told that all rooms have connecting doors to each other rooms. What?!!yes there are locks that you can secure it but I have never encountered this staying at a hotel. A hostel yes but not a hotel. The faucet from the shower was pulled out from its place. The mini refrigerator was not working despite several attempts. I did mentioned it to staff and they offered if I wanted it handled before or after breakfast. Lastly, breakfast wasn’t appealing. Not enough options for protein only yogurt. Perhaps bagels with cream cheese or eggs would be an option. This place has potential because of the staff. I hope some of these ideas are taken to account to be able to see this place soar.

This was a great little place and located in the perfect spot for me. There were plenty of places to choose from for dining and entertainment.

BEWARE this place is not what you see online. SEE PICS BELOW. It was gross almost didn't stay, we're exhausted. Thank God I bring my own stuff. The handle to the toilet broke off and they had someone come in the room at 8:00pm with 2 small children to almost 9:00 pm to fix it. I WAS CHARGED $10 FOR A WASH RAG THAT I DIDN'T USE. I BRING MY OWN FOR SANITARY REASONS. Imagine if this happens to every guest? Hmm I'll be getting in touch with Trip, HJ and Wyndham.

The room needs some upgrading. The room smelled like smoke. Not enough towels and washcloths.

The water pressure was pitifully low (shower), and I had to flush the toilet 5 times to clear the bowl. The breakfast was minimal.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Their system doesn’t allow you to check in and not have the key card work until exactly check in time so it creates a long line. As you can assume if you done stand and wait tempers get a bit heated when people try to cut in. The rooms were very clean, however, it is older and the staleness from the carpet is apparent. One non smoking room clearly had a cat that sprayed and it was absolutely awful. Beware there are smoking rooms and even if you don’t have one you can still smell from next door. Also the lights on the outside bleed inside with shades drawn. It’s bright when dark. Overall exterior/interior was fine. Needs some updating but certainly not over $120/night would rate at 2.5-3 stars

Breakfast was good, room was clean and spacious and front desk staff was amazing. I left my phone at the front desk after checking in and the guy there ran it to my room for me.

The owners and staff of the property were very nice. Rooms were a little dated, but clean and quiet. We enjoyed our stay there.
