I travel to Altamonte Springs occasionally for business. The last time I traveled to Altamonte Springs in the fall of 2010, I stayed at this hotel but it was under a different name, Magnuson, I believe. Going back this past week I had no intention to stay at this hotel due to my last visit. I noticed the sign changed and it said Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, so I thought lets give it a try. What a pleasant surprise. The first thing I noticed was the landscaping was freshly mulched, looked very nice. Went in and asked what was going on because before it was horrendous. I was made aware it was under new ownerhip for the past year and they have been working hard to upgrade the hotel. So I checked in got to my room and then walked around. It is wonderful, Lounge, pleasant decor and wonderful staff, Restaurant was open, which was closed before (by the way my steak was delicious) and the hotel had security gates, painted walkways. It is such a breath of fresh air. Oh, my Keurig Coffee Maker was delightful. Great stay, Great staff, Wonderful Changes, Great Job!! Oh, by the way in reading some of these other reviews, I don't believe it, wanting it free and it didn't happen, so they are upset.
