McIntosh Vacation Packages

Okay for the price, very basic stay Howard Johnson on Colonial is not a great place, but it’s acceptable if you’re paying around $80 or less. This motel should not cost more than $80. Some rooms appear updated, but many are still outdated and very basic. The positives: the sheets were clean, which matters most, and they offer a nice complimentary continental breakfast in the morning. Parking is easy and convenient. The downsides: everything feels bare-bones, nothing more than what’s absolutely necessary. It’s not very quiet at night, with people walking around and noise outside. Overall, this is a budget motel — fine for a short stay if you know what you’re getting, but don’t expect comfort or upgrades.

Staff was courteous but the room was not spotless. There was hair on the shower walls, marijuana buds on the floor behind the trash can (so they didnt sweep there or mop obviously), and the shower floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned properly in weeks. I brought a bottle of bleach into the room and scrubbed the shower floor and sanitizied the bathroom before I used it and I stayed for 1 night. Staff at check in was very pleasant. I removed my linens and trash before I checked out at 7 am and left a 2$ tip. I hope they took the time I saved them and utilized it to do a better job cleaning the room. I realize corporations set unreal expectations for housekeeping staff so I try not to blame the actual hard workers who are expected to turn down a room in 13 or 23 minutes, whatever the ridiculously low handle time is..

Took a very cold shower in morning. Did not like that. Otherwise okay. Bathroom could have used a good cleaning of baseboards and grout poorly done.

The owners of this property dooes not spend any money on maintenance. Indoor pool with broken heater. Room was ok with the exception of the bathroom. Shower rod looked like it was used as a chin up bar and no liner for the shower curtain. No shower matt because housekeeping is not provided the items to maintain room. Empty vending machines. 1 ice machine for entire building. Too much room noise from interstate and local traffic.
