Absolutely disgusting! Rooms are filthy and we didn't even use the showers because there was stains everywhere and pubic hair on the floor. The stairways were foul smelling, like an animal died. The food in the morning, the packaged food that is, had expired dates on it. My husband was bit all night by god only knows what. Horrible experience!... More

I needed a room for one night in the Ruther Glen, VA area. I selected the Howard Johnson Express Hotel based on my research over the internet. The hotel looked decent and the reviews were not that bad. When I got into the room, it was dark and filthy!!! When I pulled back the bedspread on the bed, it was... More

I chose this hotel as a cheap lodging option for Kings Dominion neglecting some of the bad reviews anyway. I will say that it is not as bad as some of the reviews I've read, but all that great either. After my friends and I checked in, we went up the room and the toilet broke. It wasn't something that...

We dubbed the hotel the "Roach Motel." The hotel is disgusting. It does not appear that any updates have been done to the hotel in over 10 years. The parking lot looked like a junkyard with old, rundown cars in various stages of repair. The rooms were not clean. We did not take our shoes off and slept on top... More

My experience at Howard Johnson was not good. First of all, I booked the reservation online and from the picture thought it seem pretty nice. Wow, when I enter the room first off to check it out; the room, the room was nasty, smelling of stale smoke and there were men just a few feet away washing socks on the... More

Our trip for 3 days was $144.00 during M.day wknd. Save money and took advantage of the free internet service. Would stay againc and we will be staying again....Plus all the great food... More

We stayed at Howard Johnsons at Ruther Glen VA recently. The service was great, the room was clean and we had absolutely no problems. We were in town for a ball tournament and our last game ended rather late. We had a 2 hour drive back home just to turn around and come back on the following day. We decided... More

Well...Not to sound judgemental from the start but I usually do not stay in so called budget motels/hotels. The staff was friendly on arrival but thats about there the fun ended. The rooms were OK. bland and "budget" I guess this was to be expected. The real problem was the noise from neighbors. lets just say that there might have... More

We stayed at the HoJo while we were on vacation for 2nd anniversary. We chose to stay in the jacuzzi suite since we were celebrating. There were a few dead bugs in the room when we entered (I figured they were dead so it was okay to stay). Later that night when were turned the jets on the juacuzzi the... More
