I can’t complain much for the price paid. It was cheap enough and the room was clean. However, it is a very old hotel. The indoor pool is currently not operational. There was no cart be available to transport luggage from your vehicle to your room. we asked for a rollaway bed and was told it was not available. The television does not have local channels. Just Roku. I had to go downstairs to go get a remote for the television. There is no phone, coffee, maker, or microwave in the room. There is no continental breakfast or coffee in the lobby. It served its purpose. I just needed a place to stay after the game.

I stayed at Howard Johnson by Wyndham Benton Harbor/St. Joseph 798 Ferguson Dr, Benton Harbor, MI 49022. Last week on 10-23-24. When riding their only working elevator to the top floor 5th to go to my room. The elevator dropped multiple times after passing the 4th floor. It made a horrible popping and banging noise and I was locked in the violently shacking elevator for 20 seconds of nightmare inducing fear until the door opened. When doing so it was misaligned bouncing by over a foot to a few inches as it kept trying to get to the top floor. Fearing for my life I jumped out leaving half of my stuff behind. After trying to go downstairs by the stairwell and it being locked by CHAINS I had to call the elevator, and pray. As it shook the floor I was standing on I did take video incase I died so there was evidence for my grieving family. When reaching the top it didn't have the horrifying gap as the first time just a 2 inch one that settled by the time the door fully opened. Thinking it was all the extra weight of my belongings I left what I was carrying and rode down with what I had left behind. Then after selecting the 1st floor it dropped before the door fully closed allowing me to see the back side of the 5th & 4th floors doors. I informed the front desk staff where they put me in a 1st floor room. They then assured me that it was normal just needing to warm up before it would work properly and it was perfectly safe to ride back up and retrieve my laptop bag and cpap bag. I

The price was right. The room was clean. There were a few things that could be better: The elevator became noisy, there was some broken glass in the window next to the elevator on the 5th floor, and the light in the bathroom would not stay on but rather blinked, but you get what you pay for. I would return.

The family checking in behind us also tried using that card and was told it was declined. Yet they called and the card was fine as we also knew iur card was fine as we just used it the same day elsehwere. The room was clean, but we had a hard time falling asleep due to a bright light staying lit all night on our patio. There was no light switch to turn it off . We were going to call the front desk but there was no phone in our room. We had a too much light coming in around the curtains.

Nightmare before and after the beach

When I showed up I was told I couldn’t check in for another five minutes, so I told the front desk I’d wait at a chair and that I’d like to check in immediately. With two minutes to go the person left for 15 minutes. I had to use their ring doorbell to get their attention. When they got there they had multiple issues with my reservation and demanded to know my children’s first and last names. At various times this person also questioned my signature and insisted I was spelling MY WIFE’S name wrong, despite it being correct in the reservation. The rooms weren’t labeled, my two rooms reserved under the same reservation were at opposite ends of the hotel, and the pool (advertised) had been out of operation for “two to three years”. My rooms toilet didn’t flush, my wife’s shower didn’t work, but they’d overbooked somehow and so a room change was out of the cards. There’s a broken elevator, restaurant is closed, and my daughter’s bed had bugs. People got arrested outside. People yelling inside. Moldy bathrooms covered with paint. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid this hotel

This hotel is disgusting. The pictures are stock photos, not from the hotel. There is no pool, no restaurant, and it's filthy. The balcony windows are scuzzy. The desk chair was on the patio, covered is white stains. The hotel smelled VERY strongly of marijuana. The ancient microwave was yellow with smoke stains. The carpet was pulled up in many places, tattered and an unhygienic tripping hazard. We were so grossed out buy the crumbling, stinky, filthy room, we didn't look in the bathroom. I can't imagine what horrors were in there. DO NOT stay here. It's unsanitary, unclean, and unsafe.
