Leery after reading some of the reviews?? Well here is the truth... Location...a good location close to expressway. The hotel lobby is small but the staff are friendly. Have questions, they will be pleased to answer. The parking lot...seemed ok to me. Find your unit number and park out front. The room...it wasn't smelly! I didn't turn on the light... More

My husband and I stayed the night here on May 19th to spend time with his mother and aunt who were here from Florida and Ireland for the weekend. If we'd had any chance of getting our money back and staying elsewhere, we would have left right away, but everything in the area was booked due to two expos in... More

That room was not ready for a guest to check in. I appreciate you following up to my questions about your room number so that we can find out... More

Arriving after midnight, and 3 things going on in the area, the clerk was nice and made us feel welcome. There were kids running around, and to please let her know, if they were bothering us. She did take care of the kids, then things were quiet. The room was clean. There is a breakfast, which was good. I asked... More

A group of 26 guys were going to the area for a tournament, and since we'd stayed here a few years ago, we thought we'd try it again. Last experience was pretty good, as we all had first floor rooms in a building close to the registration area. At that time, the rooms struck us as clean, and the added... More

I have been staying at this hotel for over three years now. I stay about 12 weeks out of the year. The rooms are clean. They are not the newest in the world, but I have stayed at brand new hotels that were bad! All of the staff treat myself and my kids very nicely. Whenever I need anything from... More

I stayed overnight for a job interview and found the Howard Johnson. It was a nice, average hotel. It was clean and the rooms were properly stocked. The only (minor) issues were (1) noise from the highway and (2) the remote control didn't work consistently. The continental breakfast was great. I would stay there again.

Also found no remote to the TV and while looking found a half eaten pizza in the dresser drawer and shoes under the bed. Saw cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and dirt and crunms all around on the floor. When housekeeping... More

Inexpensive to stay, the free internet is on limited bandwidth, and of course the bedbugs. Yes I got what I paid for and more.

Thank you for letting us know about your stay. We take any concerns about bed bugs seriously. Our pest control company was unable to find anything. I have contacted guest about getting more information as we have had no other questions about bedbugs, but have not heard back. More
