3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012 NEW

The room was spacious, old furnitures, nothing fancy but overall in decent conditions. The staff was friendly and courteous. The continental breakfast was actually very good. More than what we expected. There were hot food such as eggs, oatmeal, and make your own waffles. Plenty of cereal, muffins, bagels, pastries, fruits,coffee/tea, and juices. We didn't use the shuttle bus but... More

There was no way this was a hotel, this was more like a motel. The room they put us in was way in the back and smelled like smoke. We asked for a non smoking room. There were sticky rat traps with roaches caught on each rat trap. The Sheets were stained with something yellow on them and the bathroom... More

The acommodation there was OK, motels like this are twelve to the dozen. The main problem was busy railway from one side, and main road from the other side. Each passing train was not only making noise but also made the whole building shaking. I would rather stay elswhere next time. However it is quite close to metro, you can... More

The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, and the staff tries hard; but it's located next to tracks so the foundations shake when trains rumble through, and big trucks on the highway in front shake the windows. A Saturday night "rumble" featured prostitutes walking by and yelling til 2 am. More

We stayed here in 2005 (I picked 11/2010 because this site made me pick a date), so it was a long time ago, BUT I am sure what I have to say still holds true. This is an inexpensive, basic place to stay, but when in Washington DC, Who stays in their rooms all day ? Anyway, the place has... More

At a great budget amount Howard Johnson here on New York... More

It is in a less than desirable neighborhood. While it is not far from public transport, or even a reasonable walk to attractions, there are no safe sidewalks or safe, easy routes. It is near train lines, which run all night and shake the building. My room had bad wiring on a light switch, internet was slow and inconsistent. It... More

Being female this area is bad news. Pay the extra money and stay closer to the downtown area. You will also save on transport. I paid extra for taxi to metro because there was no safe way to cross tge street. Plus I did not feel like i wanted to get mugged. More
