I had booked at the Howard Johnson Newark to book my room. When I arrived late, they had given my room away and I had a disabled room for the night even though on my reservation it said 'Do not give me a disabled room'. This room was on the ground floor in a back wing of the hotel and every door in the wing had signs of force opening. The fire door in this area was at the back of the hotel and was a clear glass door as I remember. I complained about the room and how they had treated me and my complaint on this and it didn't do any good. I was told the manager had said because I complained he wasn't interested. I insisted on a different room the next day which I got. The new room was dirty, the dust behind the bedside table was thick and had not been attended to in some time. The top of the bulb in the bedside lamp was thick with dust; all signs of a dirty room. Do not use this hotel, there are lots of others which must be better than this. I will never use this motel again

This motel is basic but clean and cheap. I will be stopping here again this year. It's right on the boarder of Montana and N.Dakota. Go eat in Montana in Wibaux at the Shamrock which do senior price on sunday all you can eat. Steak in that town is the best too. The Buckboard gives you breakfast in with the price and the mature lady at the desk is really friendly and helpful. Dairy Queen in Beach around the corner you can eat or in one of the bars there. Gas just over the road so everything to hand and right on the interstate only 9 miles from Montana border.

The hotel was clean and access to town good. Stay here for cost but go to Hotel International next door almost it's superb. Make sure if you want internet connection you tell them before room allocation because not all rooms are close enough to router to get it. Also, make sure they don't give you the room opposite their laundry or you'll have continual door access opposite your room. Ask to pay less than they ask, they gave me a lower rate.

I went to this motel but didn't stay. I looked at the rooms which were very basic but the smell of spray that the maids put around was so strong I couldn't stand it. If anyone has asthma this is not the best place to be. Manager was friendly though. I know from working once as room service that cleaners spray curtains and bathroom curtain, bedspread with a spray to make is smell fresh but this was overpowering.
