The Kincardine Howard Johnsons has done many upgrades it seems from the last time I stayed there. The rooms are better, cleaner and the staff friendly. This is still a work in progress, as they are continuing to upgarde other rooms.
Good stay, good people, good prices.

I read a really bad review of this place, "what a dump" I beleive it said. well, I certainly do not think the place is that. the rooms are nothing fancy, but they are clean. the place is run by some really hospitable , genuine people. there is a great pub, on the main floor. also downstairs, there is a great spot to catch bands. I once saw the band "ten pound sledge" down there. what a blast. the place is worth staying at for the entertainment value alone! also, there is an excellent restaurant , just off the main lobby.

We had reservations for months, after looking at everything on the internet, it looked pretty good. Then we got there and it was disgusting. We walked in to the dump and said we'd like to see the room first before paying. I guess this happens alot cuz when we went back with the key 2 min. later and cancelled the stay, the guy didn't even ask why. I must say the only way to describe it was that I felt unclean. We also emailed head office and told them of the condition of the "hotel" and they said thanks and they'd look into it. (yeah, right) I'll make sure to drive by this next summer and see if things have improved. This just goes to show you that they can sure doctor up some photos for the internet, this place might have looked like the pictures about 30 years ago.
