Sharon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s outdated but clean! Very good price and we enjoyed outside tables with a swimming pool! We stayed for 2 consecutive nights and it was very quiet, good beds and A/C was working fine! So many restaurants and grocery shops around, we liked it and we would for sure come back!
mirjana, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel staff was very friendly and the check in was quick. The room was ok for a one night stay but needs updating.

Ralph, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was pretty good; it's the definition of don't judge a book by its cover.
Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

For the price it was ok. It was clean but a old motel. It ok for one night when you’re travelling.
Joelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was exactly what we needed. Easy to get to. Reasonable rates. Plenty of walkable dining options nearby.
Jean, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Reading the prior reviews I was a bit skeptical, but then I remembered that this generation’s expectations are outrageous, the motel was completely fine for the cost.
lauren, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The only think I didn’t like is no one knew we’re stuff was. Like needed ice but no one knew where it was so I went looking it
Annastashia, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

You get what you pay for. No decent rooms for under $100 anymore!
Randall, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A very old motel, but well maintained. The lobby could see some improvements. But the room was actually quite nice.
Luis, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was really nice friendly and helpful. The pool was great. I wish there would been fruit at breakfast or something that wasnt carb based a bit more variety would be better. The bed was comfy and room was clean. We were treated very well. I will be coming back likely in Aug. It is far from train n bus station though. City buses stop at front door the express ones.
Alexander, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Continental breakfast was very limited and the hotel is in desperate need of renovations
Beth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the cleanliness of the pool and the room. Friendly, accommodating staff- we were allowed to check out an 1.5 later because our 5 year wanted to spend more time in the pool. The only thing we didn’t like was the back of the building on one side. We arrived late and the abandoned wing at the back looked menacing. However, the inner yard with the pool is very cosy and well kept. Overall, would definitely stay again!
Eugeniya, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Too much noise
Latarsha, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Stains in bedsheets and better costumers service
Yamil, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

After five minutes in our room, we left to look for another hotel. The pictures are deceiving. This hotel is terrible. It is very run down and badly kept. The room had a musty smell and it looked old. The tv was small and malfunctioning. We had a horrible experience. Unfortunately, we lost the one hundred dollars that we paid for the night. I do not recommend staying at this Howard Johnson.

Worst experience in the last 25 years. My Tablet was stolen (allegedly by cleaning staff). The room is noisy from the A/C and thin walls.
