This was a very pleasant surprise. We ended up here after our reservation was lost at another hotel. I wouldn't normally consider staying at Howard Johnson but it turned out well.The room was clean, & nicely furnished. The breakfast was one step above continental but adequate.And the rate was about 1/2of other places in town.

If you're just looking for a bed to crash in for the night, this hotel is just fine if you can find a decent price (around $50). The hotel room itself was a bit run down, with stains on the carpet and walls, and chipping on the bottom of the bathroom door. But the bed was very comfy, there was... More

This is an older (Early 1970's?) former Best Western Hotel. Located just off I-70 and US 63, southeast quadrant, property is close to the Univ of Missouri Womens and Childrens Hospital.

The breakfast selection included only one healthy item: apples and oranges, however, these were the most... More

The room rate was good, $ 62.00 for a better than average room however, I woke up with what appeared to be bites on my back, So i told the lady at the desk and didnt look surprised......But the breakfast was good!

The Columbia HoJo is all right. For a hotel at this price point (I paid under $40 a night as part of a 3 night deal) I'm very happy with the place. It was clean, the staff were all good at what they did and the hotel included everything that one expects. Breakfast was much less bleak than I expected.... More
