I don't know if this is the same one, but my son and I stayed at the Ho Jo Maingate East, near Old Town, about ten years ago. There was a hole in the bathroom wall and the bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way. It was the worst of three chain motels we've stayed at.
The one thing I can tell you is that if the price seems too good then it is not worth staying there. Spend the extra money to stay with a chain you know and love or stay on property.
