I don't understand all the negative reviews. Checked in last night around 10:30pm with Angie, who was pleasant and helpful. My family travels the country for a living - staying in 50+ hotels every year. This HoJo is exactly the type of hotel we prefer - inexpensive, but with plenty of perks.
Our room (2 beds) is clean and spacious! The AC works extremely well. The bathroom is also clean. Would have preferred that our room have a micro/fridge, but that's never a deal-breaker. There is a microwave in the breakfast area.
Standard continental breakfast, nothing fancy, but it's decent fare. Since I see the manager reads these reviews - perhaps some yogurt or muffins at breakfast in the future? :)
The free WiFi is plenty fast - it looks as though you can pay an additional fee through the login page to double the speed, but I did not opt for this.
Hotel features a fitness room, Pepsi products, a fantastic TV lineup, and is a great bang for your buck. It is a shame that the hotel industry as a whole took such a hit from the bedbug epidemic, and that fine hotels such as this one suffered the ire of upset customers.
