Howard Johnson Texarkana

I would give no stars if I could.
The room was dirty, the sheets were dirty, and the place is run down and smells musty. I would rather sleep in my truck.
Spend $ 20 more and get a clean bed. Don’t stay here.

I wouldn’t suggest coming here on a vacation. It’s ok for a nights stay. I mean you pay for what you get. The bathroom was a nice size but we only had one face towel and the shower curtain seemed to bad dirt spots on it. All night the AC was making a squeaking sound. That was so annoying. The ceiling looked as if it had water damage and yellow spots. The vending machine had can drinks for $ 1 and when I tried to get a 32 oz bottle of water, they were sold out but wouldn’t give me my money back so I had to get a drink or nothing. I suggest having a confirmation handy because when we checked in the receptionist kept asking if we had reservations. Overall not the best but like I said we slept for a night and left.

Low class noisy hotel. Avoid. Spend 20 $ more and get something most would expect from a hotel while traveling — peace, quiet, comfort and above all sleep. I was disturbed all night long by a permanent resident guest at the hotel that the manager described as an «older man in his 60s with a daughter. He stays here everyday,» he said. What happens when a cheap hotel becomes a «permanent» residency for guests? Smelly rooms while short term higher paying customers suffer through the night as I did. This «older» man played his television full blast all night until i finally called management to ask for a refund or help in quieting him and his tv at 4am after listening for 3 hours on and off of with what sleep I was able to get. Early in the morning the manager on duty made excuses for the long term tenant as the manager in the morning did when I checked out and complained… The earlier said «he is old.» I said I don’t care how old he is — either he turns the tv down or I want a refund. She tried to blame me for not calling to tell them sooner about his disturbances. Some f’ing nerve! She was fearful of him it seemed but then revealed «the room next to you is empty. The old man is actually two rooms down from yours.» This was even more shocking that he was two rooms away from me and it sounded like the noise was right on top of me! This place is loud loud loud.
Lastly I stayed on the second floor and heard every footstep of another of my upstairs neighbors. The ceiling cracked loudly at every step. It sounded like he or they would fall through it at any moment. This is annoying at 3am especially when the steps were back and forth and back again.
About the room — it was stuffy, yet it had a clean shower, but you could tell it was smoked in many many times. i requested a non– smoking room. The toilet had broken components — this really is a low class cheap stay.
I’m writing this review as I told the manager I would so weary travelers can save their money and avoid this shack masquerading as a hotel. Definitely 1 star.
