Howard Johnson by Wyndham Saugerties, NY

I don’t normally write reviews, but this hotel needs some major improvements. I was there for a one night stay because I was attending a wedding nearby, and for the price, I immediately regretted it. We booked the room, to have a place to sleep at the end of the night, but after seeing a bug that resembled a bed bug crawling on my pillow, I did not get any sleep. I stayed up all night itching and feeling like I had bugs crawling on me.  I thought it was paranoia. But, upon returning home, I had bites that started to itch and swell up on my forehead, legs and back. The room was not clean, and could use updating. There were obvious signs of mildew and water damage in the bathroom, stains on the walls, sheets and decorative bedding. If you appreciate a clean space, this is not it. Check-in and check- out was easy, and the staff was friendly enough for the limited interactions we had, but I would not consider staying at a Howard Johnson again.

The hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on and not in a good way. First room they gave me the sheets were dirty so I moved rooms. It’s as basic as you can get. Came to the area for HITS down the street which is very convenient and that’s a huge plus. It was clean enough to sleep in, but if I had a choice I’d go elsewhere.

This was an okay hotel for a one night stay when there are very limited options of places to choose from. I will say, I was pleasantly surprised with the room itself. The outside of the facility and the hallways don't give it the best feel, but the room was clean and okay. I did think it was ridiculously overpriced for what the hotel is, even on a Saturday night.
