“When theres a game in Town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Traveled around Bmore and Bmore county looking for a place to crash, the Red Sox were in town so I ended up in Pikesville, This HoJo was the only hotel with room, the clerk behind the 12 inches of bullet glass was strict to the point, I loved the sign that said if you open the in room fridge you have to pay 10 dollars, the hotel had a grimey motel feel on the outside , inside reaked of smoke, tobacco and wacky tobacco, however the room was suprisling clean, i took the comforter off ( circa 1970) and the sheets were clean and white, I was on the first floor and the blinds didnt close all the was, little freaky . No bed bugs, no roaches i could see , locks worked TV worked No soap or shampoo, went down to the desk paid a buck for em, one towel in the room bathroom was clean. So eh, I paid my $39 buck, order my dominos which was right across the street cracked opened a 12 pack of Natty Bohs, unrolled my swisher and enjoyed got a good night sleep and wasnt bitten, I would actually stay again if I was in county

“This HoJo is a NoGo”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

I'm not the traveler who expects 5 star service at a 1 star price from a 3 star hotel, but this particular HoJo is an embarrassment to the chain's reputation. From the not-too-bright check in clerk, to the very strong smell in all our rooms (4 rooms on 2nd floor), this is one hotel we will not be recommending nor staying at ever again. Bugs on the window sills, windows that rattle, hair in the bathtubs, cigarette burns in the super thin, very worn out blankets, mold on the shower curtains, no elevator (the hotel has 2 floors), and dirty carpets. Oh, and that outdoor pool they advertise? Under construction!!
The best part of our stay was when we checked out!!!!

“Pleasantly surprised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights with great fear, after reading the comments here (we needed to be in this specific location) and expected the worst but in the end we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms and bathrooms were large and clean, towels were changed every day, the soda machine was working and the staff were very curtious. We were out of the motel most of the day and came back at night. Plenty of places to eat in the areaI don't know what people expect but it certainly is good value for money.

“Surprisingly exceeded my extremely low expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2008

First of all, I thought Howard Johnson went out of business and was surprised that my friend had reserved a place at one. I was expecting the worst..Howard Johnson just sounds bad!
Surprisingly, HoJo wasn't "that" bad. The bed was actually really comfortable and the sheets were soft. I'm not a fan of the nasty skin thin "comforter" but I can get past that. The room was good enough. The bathroom was good enough.
The Indians that ran the place were strange and not accomodating. They did a lot of random yelling in the hallways in the morning. When we requested two more pillows for the bed they were never delivered. The soda machine didn't have any water so we had to drive to 7-11 to get some. The TV worked and even had a remote which had the batteries taped inside because the piece to hold them in was obviously missing.
Unfortunately we didn't get to experience the Rise & Dine breakfast. I'm sure it would have been a knock out!
This is a great place if you are just in need of a place to sleep. Nicer hotels can be found in Owings Mills, the town next to Pikesville.

“Ghetto Motel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2007
5
people found this review helpful

Our whole purpose for this trip was to go to Pimlico race track. This place was the ghetto motel. Thank God we only stayed there for 1 night. 1) The neighborhood was scary. 2) The room was not very clean. Everything is outdated. The mattresses were old. The sheets were yellow. We had to sleep on top of the comforter. 3) After the night from hell, I got up to shower. Surprise!!! No cold water. We had to shower with the ice bucket out of the sink next to the shower. Showering ghetto style was not fun. I recommend not to stay anywhere in that general area. All the motel/hotels were in the same shape. After we left that awful place the trip was fun.

Stayed April 2007
