Howard Johnson by Wyndham Gallup is an older hotel that offers affordable and comfortable accommodations. Guests appreciate the clean rooms and friendly staff, making it a good place to rest for a night or longer. The hotel features a small breakfast area with a basic hot breakfast option, although some visitors left early before breakfast was served. The rooms are generally comfortable, with amenities like a new rain shower head and a TV on an adjustable mount. However, some aspects could be improved, such as the pillows, which are square-shaped and not very firm, and the lack of updated A/C units, with only toggle switches and old thermostats available to control temperature. The hotel requires a $100 deposit, which can be paid in cash or by card; paying in cash is helpful for quick refunds after check-out. The property is making efforts to improve its appearance, with recent painting in bathrooms and notable metal art sculptures in the lobby, which are for sale. Some practical issues include a non-working ice machine and a pool and hot tub that were closed during visits. The exercise room is accessible by a key, which can be inconvenient. Guests find the check-in process smooth and appreciate the effort the staff put into maintaining the property. Despite being an older style hotel, it provides a decent, affordable stay with basic amenities, a friendly environment, and some unique decor elements. Overall, it is a practical choice for travelers seeking a clean and affordable place to stay with friendly service.
The room was clean. However it was located farther away from downtown than expected. It was kind of deserted.

Beds and pillows were not great. You get what you pay for.

A quiet hidden gem. The room was clean and very comfortable! The staff were very kind. I am very satisfied with their customer service. I highly recommend the hotel to anyone.
