This original Howard Johnson's has two stories with interior corridors, a large courtyard and outdoor pool. Rooms on parking lot side have abbreviated balconies/patios which makes them not all that useful, if that's important to you; pool-side rooms have full-size versions. Check-in and check-out desk clerks were very friendly and pleasant. My second-floor parking lot side room was just fine.... More

Stayed here one night and it was fine. The room was clean and well maintained. Had a ground floor room facing the pool area which would have been great for a family staying here with kids. More

We arrived Saturday night and had an easy check in and found our room easily. We didn't expect anything "flashy" and got what we paid for. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds were soft and the sheets/blankets were clean. The carpets were worn but looked clean. We didn't have any problems with the room or hotel staff. Every... More

This was a one night stay that was so bad that I had to bring my own sheets for the room. The management was imposssible. They double charged my American express card for one dog deposit x2. I found the only clean area was outside the room. I asked to be moved into a madeup...clean room...they stated that was all... More

Lobby was nice but hallway carpets very dirty. Beds were new and comfortable. The pool area needs much attention along with the pool furniture. While there my computer was hacked and emails went out to all of my contacts...I'm guessing firewall was not very good. Staff was pleasant. We used to stay in HJ's years ago and were looking for...

This hotel is one to stay away from because of all the roaches and bugs...they crawl all over the bed and since we have been home, we have found that we now have bed bugs...I have had to dump a $900 lazy boy chair and the mattress is next....they graciously said they would send us $75 for our inconvenience, but...

I had read all of the bad reviews and was a little worried about this hotel. Thankfully, when I arrived, I was greeted with a very polite front desk clerk. Our room was larger than expected with a refrigerator and microwave. We had an oversized king bed and loveseat. My daughter and I were staying for the softball tournament so... More

My friend and I stayed for a week over our spring break, we were down there for a college baseball tournament. Walking distance to all the restaurants, a little out of the way though. Is a lot cleaner and less sketchy than the hotel next door! The pool wasn't heated, and for being the first week in march it was... More
