Pros: cheap, clean room, new paint, bathroom was very nice, good furniture set, service was friendly, free wifi

Cons: old building, dirty exterior, with broken chairs and such along the walkways, old semitrailers to the rear of the hotel, lots of noise from being right along the highway ramp

Have stayed at this hotel twice (Aug 07) and June 2008. Hotel is under new management, renovations being done, pool being repaired. Reqyested extra pillows and towels and they were brought to my room within 15 minutes of checking in. The only negative thing is that the fitted sheets on the beds did not stay in place, looked like the elastic was worn out. Considering this hotel is undergoing new management and renovation I would suspect that new linen will be on order also. I would stay at this hotel again, price was very affordable, many resteraunts within 10 min drive, friendly staff and comfortable rooms make this hotel an excellent value.

This hotel gives the once proud Howard Johnson name a major black eye. This hotel is for long term residents with drug issues. I watched a guy smoking a joint outside his room while working on his beat up car. It is certainly not a place for children to stay but really everyone should understand that this hotel is dirty, run down, and the service is horrible. The front desk person was rude during check in. She was yelling at someone on the phone and ignoring us. My family and I spent one hour at this place and decided that we made a big mistake. I demanded my money back and the front desk person obliged reluctantly when I threatened to call the police about the drugs that I saw.

A very unpleasant stay all around. This was a stopover on a vacation trip, with 2 small children. It was clear from first glance that this is a place that caters to long-term temporary residents -- lots of people milling around parking lots, working on cars, etc. Pool was tiny & crowded with kids having water fights; scared my kids. Room was a bit shabby/OK, but very loud, surrounded on all sides by people making noise till all hours. "Continental breakfast" was from a very small continent that must not eat much. Here's all you need to know: sign in the lobby says "no refunds after 15 minutes". Wish I'd seen that *before* I checked in.
