    The elevator was kind of scary it made alot of noise and at night is very loud it was hard to sleep It was so noisy. And we had to go back to the office three times because the key wouldn't work.

    I like to staff very helpful and friendly. I like the parking it's convenient. And the rooms are really clean normally Little small but very clean

    The selection for breakfast was 1 muffin and 1 cup of juice. The employees were super loud every day right outside my door, and i worked nights and slept during the day, so it was really uncomfortable.

    That I was close to downtown.

    The pictures on the internet make the place seem much more modern and clean than is the reality. Parking was terrible as the lot filled up every day and several sites were reserved for employees, causing patrons to park across the street. We found cockroaches in our room and could not leave any scraps or crumbs without attracting more of them. The curtains don't close all the way so the outside lights blare into the room all night. The place was dreary and depressing.

    The location was perfect for our purposes in Reno. The staff was somewhat friendly, except for the person who threatened to tow our car at 6AM because we parked in their employee spot because there were no parking spots fort customers. This person was terribly rude and should not continue to work there if the motel expects to succeed with a good reputation.

    The lock was broken on my door, the chair looked like it had seen better days, nowhere to hang clothes, debris under the bed, and the wifi password didn't work for me. No information about breakfast.

    The beds were clean, the air conditioning worked well, and the parking was easy. There was a microwave and a mini coffee maker.

    How did Howard Johnson ever come to the conclusion that this weathered old facility would be a good acquisition for the company portfolio?
