“Old hotel with no frills, but good clean option for pet travel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010

person found this review helpful

You won't find fancy decor or even freshly painted walls. Typically, we wouldn't stay here, as we weren't sure about it based upon outside appearance. But, when travelling with a large dog, we weren't left with many choices. The Country Inn and Suites accepts pets but at over $102 a night! Here at the HoJo, we were able to stay with a pet and tax for $66!! That is a great rate and includes a free continental breakfast! The decor is old, but we saw rooms that were being worked on for apparent updates. Ours had partially new paint, but must not have been though the updating. The room was clean, but very basic. However, things like shampoos/conditioners, iron, hairdryer, safe, micro/frige, and newer accent furniture were in the room. Yet the bedding, and some fixtures and walls were old and in need of repair. They are definitely updating, but seemingly slowly. I wouldn't recommend this to friends and family really, unless they needed an inexpensive room for a pet. Pet travel, even ours who is clean and well kept and behaved, keeps choices minimal!

“lots of traffic,shabby location,deposit to use phone at all”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2010

person found this review helpful

This is a low-average motel located between two very busy highways. The room was moderately clean except that the carpet was filthy and sticky underfoot. The bed was comfortable and seemed clean. The bath was satisfactory. There is a $10 deposit to get any outside line, the only hotel we've ever stayed at that wanted one. It took several replacements to get a working phone, and the tone was then so poor we used a cell phone instead. There's a Continental Breakfast which was ordinary and satisfactory.

“Very Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009

Very clean & large room. Near restaurants & desk clerk very helpful with directions. Easy on & off of I-81. Didn't partake of the breakfast so can't comment. Everything else was great & would stay there again.

“No frills, but nice. Great value.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2009

While passing through the area, we needed a place to stay for a quick rest. I called 5 hotels on the same road, and this HoJo gave us the best rate. The room was fine. Clean, and had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms. The staff was very nice. The free breakfast was one of the better "continental breakfasts" I've had ( with cereal, waffles, fruit, bagels, juice, etc).
They had to put us on the second floor, but we got the room right next to the stairs. I can't complain. It was a good experience.
