Room did not appear clean, when first entering. There is no carpet flooring, the tile or laminate was dirty. Then as we made our way into the restroom, we found the sink area was full of dark spots, realized it was hair dye. The bathtub had this weird caky stuff on the edge. I grabbed a disinfectant wipe and started wiping the edge of the tub, came off pretty easily with a wipe. As I continued wiping, more caky stuff came up, then I started picking up hair with the wipes. By the time I was done with the tub, I had 3 different types and colors of hair and none seem to be from the top of someone’s head. Then I moved onto the sink area. Same issue there, caky stuff on the rim of the sink. Once I completed wiping it, it was clear that this room had not been cleaned. We were concerned the sheets weren’t clean. Went to the front desk to ask for a refund, the desk clerk refused to refund $. It was 10:30 pm we were exhausted, with 7 am competition. Found a room at another hotel. Next morning my husband tried to call the manager, no manager there. It has been a week, still no call back from the manager. Others that we knew from the competition, experienced the same issue. They too tried to get $ back and were denied, but offered a different room. They took it and demanded cleaning supplies and cleaned it themselves. Disappointed and out $250.

Room 133 was in disrepair. The toilet wasn't seated properly, so it was unstable and water leaked out when flushed. No plug in the sink. Repairs needed.

Check in was quick and easy. Building was older and needs some maintenance. Door handle was loose and held together by a wing nut. Fridge had left over food and was turned off so it smelled. Bathroom was tiny, barely room to close the door.

Not like I remember it. Ok for the price. I really like their breakfast. Pool is good. Room is clean, but walls are too thin. Bed was ancient. Don’t stay on the second floor because there’s no elevator to lug your luggage in. I probably won’t stay here again.

Rooms and outside of building are in big need of repair. I booked hotel partially because of pool and waterslide shown in pics. When checking in found out that the water slide was an extra fee per person which is ridiculous, and should be listed when looking to reserve a room.

The place is a very good place would be a very nice place if it could be updated the rooms are filthy the property is going downhill just like everything in the world I'm sure it's staff and not wanting to do their job properly but management and ownership should take responsibility it's sad because it would really be a nice place

The microwave in the room didn't work very well. Took 10 minutes to heat up something. Pool was nice, kids loved it. Breakfast was alright, biscuits were hard. Staff was pretty good. Felt like I was called a name when I pronounced Wyndham wrong though. Overall it was a good stay. I might stay there again.

Called and solidified reservations ahead of booking requesting adjoining rooms. Confirmed with staff explained it was for my 12 year daughters birthday party and we needed adjoining rooms. Put in notes as well. Only to arrive at the hotel an they give us two rooms not adjoining and inform me that if it’s my daughters birthday I was gonna have to pay another 250.00 for the usage of the pool. Was not agreed to ahead of time. Caught in a bind as friends of daughter showing up. Staff was very rude and then later said we will give u adjoining rooms . So we go pack up all our things and wait and wait and wait , only to be told they gave them to someone else!!I will NEVER NEVER STAY THERE Again. Rooms were dirty and musty.

Decent place, just didn’t vibe with us.
Booked this hotel for the pool. It’s an extra $5 to use waterslide. It was 10 degrees outside, the heater, couldn’t keep room 122 remotely warm. One thin blanket on bed. Was a chilly night. Everytime we walked out of the room, into the hall. Very strong smell of marijauna. We aren’t pot smokers and it was a big turn off for us. We stayed two nights, didn’t get any housekeeping. So in a nutshell, our stay really sucked. For a $152 a night king room. I don’t feel we got our moneys worth. We usually stay at the ledge stone hotel, a few miles east of this one. They don’t have a pool for the grandkids, but half the money and a lot nicer.

You have to pay extra to utilize the waterslide.
Picked this location for the water slide in the pool. When we got there we were informed we would have to pay an extra $5 per kid per day for our kids to use the slide. Also one front desk employee told us we could have drinks at the pool as long as they stayed on a table, then another one came in and made us take them out and said they are not allowed. There were no pool towels available either.

When I pulled up and parked, there was a guy getting sexual favors in the car park next to me I had to pay extra $20 for two kids that were two and five on top of an extra to ride the waterslide in their cold pool. Then I was approached by other guests who are headed to the front desk to demand refunds because of bedbugs. The second night I was supposed to stay Christmas Eve with my family my two year old grandson picked up drug paraphernalia from under their bed and when I brought it to the front desk, staff threw it away. Acted like it was nothing offered no options no refund only offered to call the cops because I was screaming at her, no doubt screaming is an understatement. My two year-old grandson picked up drug paraphernalia could have stuck it in his mouth and they refused to do anything about it except make me leave after paying $120 to stay there that night I don’t recommend Howard Johnson as I will be calling the health department and filing complaints against the officers that came down because their response was this isn’t the best hotel to stay in Billings , maybe they should put that on their website out-of-towners don’t know !!! I fully intend on seeking this and getting justice for all those that have been done wrong by this company! as having worked for this company in another town I am well aware of what could have been done to solve the issue and how it should’ve been handled. When I tried to give it to the lady at the front desk, she herself would not
