I would be happy to visit this Howard Johnson again. The rooms were clean and a good size. The people running it were sincerely friendly and helpful in every way. It's a good experience. More

The rooms really needed to be thoroughly cleaned. It was ok when we first entered the room. The microwave was not plugged in. So, I had to pull out the fridge to reach the sockets in the back to plug the microwave in. It was very nasty in the back (full of cobwebs and dirty). The back of the dresser... More

Let's start off by saying not a great place at all...when we got to our room, there was a toilet plunger right outside our door, there were dirty towels still hanging on the back of the bathroom door and a coffee cup lid siting on the table. The bed were clean as far as we could tell and the carpet... More

He tried to twist the words "based on availablity" on the coupon to mean that it doesn't count if you made a reservation. Then he locked... More

My husband and I stayed at the Seaside Howard Johnson on April 30th in Monterey. The staff was so very friendly and accomodating, we were extremely impressed. The room was a standard room with a King bed. It was very clean, comfortable and quite nice. It had a microwave, refrigerator and flat screen tv on the wall. The best touch... More

In general, we had a decent time: rooms were worn but clean, breakfast bar was somewhat better than average, staff was helpful generally. However, we lost a laptop from a room: somewhat my fault (left in room at checkout and didn't realize it for several hours) and was a base model netbook, so loss was minimal, but the manager was...
