Friendly staff, nice rooms, and a waffle bar in the morning was a fun surprise.
Positives: It was very quick to check in and the room was comfortable.
Negatives: The room initially had a strange odor, but it quickly cleared up after we opened a window.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 25 May 2010 rated 3 out of 10.
Though this hotel is less than one minute off the highway, with so many other lodging options nearby, you'd be better of selecting any other option. The hotel staff was unhelpful and would not accommodate my needs.
Positives: The hotel is close to the highway.
Negatives: The room could have been cleaner and the staff was unhelpful.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 21 Sep 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
The worst experience I have ever had. Unsafe, unsecured and everything is broken. The management teams remedy for everything is for the patron to pack up their stuff and change rooms.
Positives: It was close to work.
Negatives: I sent an e-mail to you regarding some complaints. There are other complaints also.

The hotel was fine. However, they did not have our reservation when we checked in. I don't know yet if the issue has been resolved or not. We got one of two remaining rooms. About 2:30 a.m. We awoke with ants crawling all over us in the bed. They were coming up the wall onto the bed. Thank goodness they were not biting ants. The next morning the desk clerk apologized but did not seem too surprised by the fact that we had ants in the room.
Positives: The indoor pool and spa was great.
Negatives: We awoke in the middle of the nights with ants crawling all over us in the bed!

Large clean rooms, common area did not facilitate a comfortable breakfast.
Positives: Location by freeway.
Negatives: Continental breakfast barely accommodating.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 27 Jun 2007 rated 4 out of 10.
The front doorway area was badly damaged and boarded up. There were single men milling about all over the place, hanging around the pool fully dressed. The front desk man was rude and told me I "didn't have to stay there" but he would charge me. The elevator door kept opening and shutting at least three times before going up. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!
Positives: This hotel is right next to a great little diner, "magpies.
Negatives: Difficulty getting by a sleazy bar to turn onto the street/ front desk man was rude.

I accidentally signed up for a smoking room. It was the worst night of sleep I've had in ages. The room reeked of smoke all night. Their contin breakfast was in a tiny room with minimum offerings. This place is now called the Hann Inn--not John Jay Inn.
Positives: It was relatively new.
Negatives: We got a smoking room--it was terrible--never again! The breakfast buffet was dinky.
