The room wasn’t in good condition. The beds did not look clean. Some of the lights didn’t work and the heater took about 5 hours to heat up. We had to sleep with our coats over us because the room was so cold.

Have always loved Howard Johnson's, they are getting pretty scarce. This one is a little worn around the edges, but still very comfortable and clean. Still love HoJo's!

Beyond EXCELLENT Front desk service

The front desk attendant, Kelly, was beyond helpful & kind. He even stayed later to make sure we were checked in & accommodated. I’m truly grateful for the manager & Kelly’s excellent customer service. He did mention the hotel was going through some updates. Our room was just ok. The backside is so loud next to the freeway. After a long drive it was hard to rest. Location was easy to access. Just follow the signs lol

Sad Travelers

Not amazing. We arrived late do to a necessary long day. The bottom sheet wasn’t clean so we slept on the top sheet. The floor was dirty. The phone didn’t work and was filthy. Our food froze in the refrigerator. We were not happy!

Howard Johnsons at this location is definitely losing the value challenge. The office is run by an unfriendly lady taking advantage of travelers using this app because they know you can’t cancel and be refunded. The whole backside has a nauseating reek of diesel fuel. The sink was broken and they don’t offer as much as a cup of coffee although still charging full price. In the end, avoid this place and you’ll be far better off. Personally, I think sleeping in the car would have been better and much cheaper.

Don't stay here.

Don't stay here. They charge you for using their towels. They charged me 49.00 for them and refused to give me the towels I paid for. These were normal wear and tear.
