The room was extremely dirty. We had driven from Canada and were very tired. The young man at the desk was very apologetic but showed us another room but it was worse. Dirty toilets, feces everywhere, dirty carpets, sheets questionable. We booked through Expedia, who was extremely rude and would not help us in any way. We were hung up on and we were not being abusive in any way. We did not agree with getting charged for the night. We agreed to change to the “days inn” but Expedia was trying to charge us more than the going rate since I could see the rates as we were talking to them. At one point we Somehow got disconnected and had to call back again. We got someone that was worse and told us the cancellation was a 100$ even though the person before said it was 69.$ The room was 86.$ per night. Will never use Expedia again. The young man at the Howard Johnson promised he would return our money and he did but it took a few days, no thanks to Expedia! All this time wasted on the phone with Expedia and it was my birthday that’s why we drove to Helena for a few days.

From outside looks are deceiving. Inside in serious need of help. Hallways dirty, carpet gross, walls beat up. Room was ok, bathroom looked like shower never got good cleaning. Had I not booked ahead and could not get a refund, I would have stayed elsewhere. TV would not work right and we were moved to another room.

If you are considering staying at this hotel, I highly advise that you find another hotel. This place was DISGUSTING! 1st - the room walls/air vents had mold in them that you can smell and see immediately when entering the room, 2nd - the bathtub has more grim and dirt in it than a rundown house, 3rd - the hallway air vents also had mold that you can visibly see, 4th - the entire hotel smells as if it is a smoking hotel but stating that they are not, 5th - the bed sheets and towels are so old that you can see years worth of dingy stains on them, 6th - there so called "complimentary breakfast" was a coffee machine at the front desk with one smashed/package muffin next to it. I had paid for 3 nights stay and due to checking in late in the evening, we ended up staying the first night. My allergies went completely insane due to the mold and just being in that hotel for more than 30 minutes gives you a terrible headache, believed to be from the mold. I was not the only one effected, my husband and brother were effected as well. We ended up checking out early the next morning at moved to another hotel. I requested a refund for the 2 nights that we would not be staying at their hotel due to the conditions and was denied a refund. Stay far away from this hotel if you consider your health a priority and do not want to waste your money on a room that will make you sick.
