My brother and I stayed here last week. We remember the Howard Johnson hotels from our youth and joked about staying in one. Well, we are glad we did. All aspects of this hotel were excellent. The service was great, the breakfast great, parking was great, cleanliness was great, the room was great, and use of the computer was great.... More

Family of 5. We stayed here for 4 days and enjoyed every bit of it. Best part was the cont brkfst, lots to choose from from fresh waffles to boiled eggs lots of yummy foods and was nice to fill everyone's belly before a day of sight seeing. We would stay here again if we ever visit again.

Front-desk staff was welcoming. My room was attractive, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Wireless service was fine. Breakfast was good; there were apples and oranges but I wish there had been a banana for my cereal. I found my statement and a newspaper at my door in the morning. They offered me a 15% discount for my next stay at this... More

If you are looking for a clean, comfortable room with a lot of bang for your buck, this is your place. I stayed here for 10 days while working. The staff were all extremely friendly. The rooms have great amenities, comfortable beds and I found it very relaxing. They offer an excellent breakfast and the social hour in the evening... More

Not only were the lobby, breakfast area, and rooms incredible clean and up-to-date, the pool area (which is a often-neglected area of a hotel) was as well. The temperature was easy to control and the beds were fairly comfortable. Good location and large rooms, easy parking too. The staff was alright; courteous if a bit chilly. But I would stay... More

I have now stayed here twice. I regularly stay at hojos around the country and this has to be the nicest one. Very clean rooms on each stay. Rooms are large and seem to have been updated recently. They also had very helpful staff that gave me tips for fun places to go while in town. Every time I go... More

The hotel was close to the interstate and downtown. The room and bathroom was clean. That's all we needed since we didn't have to spend much time in it. The rates were extremely affordable so I would definitely recommend.

Stayed here for two nights. The hotel is a very average, slightly rundown budget-style hotel. Roomsize is ok, but the room itself was nothing to write home about. But it was clean, and beds were okay. Check-in staff was constantly interrupting check-in, to answer phone-calls, and the general impression was that the hotel was a bit understaffed. Breakfast was below... More
