Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very worn and tired. The shower had black mold in the grout and caulk. One sinks water was yellow. Doorknob and latches were so smeared looking we used Kleenex to operate. Do not recommend.

This Howard Johnson was fantastic! The pool, while not heated, was delightful and very clean. The staff was wonderful and very friendly every time we had to interact with them. But what I liked best was the diner on the property, literally share the parking lot. The location is also directly across the street from a really cute shopping area that had great book stores and other cool shops. Also super close to the aquarium! 10 out of 10 would stay again!

This is a convenient stop to visit Aquarium and Olde Mistic Village. The room was fine and had some touches other more expensive hotels on our road trip did not have. It’s more of a travel lodge/motel but was good for our needs. Staff was helpful and obliging.

The room had no towels or soap in the bathroom. Lighting was horrible. No creamer for the "free coffee" or sweetener and we were there for 3 days. Never emptied the trash. We stayed there 3 years ago and had a wonderful time. Will never stay there again.
