Howard Johnson

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 19 Aug 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

This HoJo was well maintained, convenient and was a very good value for the money. While accommodations were basic, all I needed was a good place to sleep, as I was in meetings 7am - 10pm each day I was in the area. Staff was efficient and helpful, access to the site was easy, there were many near-by points of interest and the hotel was clean. What more can you ask for from a hotel at this price range.

Positives: Good value for a decent place to stay.

Negatives: Sheets were worn and uncomfortable.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Jul 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

The accommodations were right for the price. The second day stay was even cheaper. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Positives: This hotel is located near a mall, restaurants, stores and the highway.

Negatives: There was no laundry facility. The public computer didn't work and the pool was very small.

This by far is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! staff was rude and hateful, rooms were dirty and outdated with old bedspreads, worn sheets, non smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke and bad deodorizer and I would like to reiterate that the hotel staff was incredibly rude lacking basic hospitality skills, completely unacceptable.

Positives: Nothing!

Negatives: Worst Hotel ever! Dirty, stinky rooms outdated and non smoking room reeked of smoke!

Room smelled of smoke. Small Pool. Staff friendly room clean and comfortable. Breakfast nothing to brag about.

Positives: Cost and location.

Negatives: Small pool.

Not as nice as I had hoped. It was more of a motel than hotel. Hard to regulate temperature. Noisy in the morning.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Broken hotel.

The bedroom was clean and comfortable. All of the staff members I spoke with were friendly and helpful. The only area that was somewhat lacking was the continental breakfast,which was the same thing all four mornings: biscuits and gravy, bagel and/or sweet roll, and a choice of two kinds of cereal. Overall, though, it was an excellent bargain and in a great location on the north side of Colorado Springs.

Positives: The room was clean and comfortable.

Negatives: The continental breakfast was a bit on the skimpy side.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 12 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

It was exactly as I expected. Glad to have the continental breakfast included for the price.

Positives: The price made it affordable.

Negatives: Needs some updating of soft goods.

Poor, Staff was not friendly. They did not even have bread for the toaster at breakfast. The breakfast consisted of cereal.

Positives: I did not like it at all.

Negatives: They did not have much of a breakfast and did not get the type of room we wanted.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Aug 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

Not good. We will never return.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Heated pool was a joke. Continental Breakfast was coffee and hard-boiled eggs. Pipe leaked.

For the price is was ok.

Positives: I got a room near to my family members that were also staying at the same hotel.

Negatives: No printers available or toiletries.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 08 Jul 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Decent for the price. Don't be five minutes late for breakfast. They are cleaning and shutting down while you are trying to eat.

Positives: Easy to find, less expensive.

Negatives: Management was rude about breakfast being, closed.

We were pleased that this was near our friends house and all major highways were there to get us to attractions - staff nice - and possibly the mattress could be turned as I was in a bit of a gully - not a biggie - but might bother another -.

Positives: Continental breakfast, very nice way to wake up - near all the spots we were going to.

Negatives: Might add a handicap bar in the shower.

Positives: Convenient to get to from World Arena.

Negatives: Noisy guests at 3 a.m.

The Howard Johnson hotel in Colorado springs was clean, convenient, and had many eateries nearby. The breakfast bar was more than adequate for the weekend traveler who only wanted a quick bite before heading into town to local attractions. The showers were hot! Refreshing after a long day sitting at a local falcon's football game! Go screaming eagles! The staff was helpful, polite, and presentable. Common areas were missing kid friendly activities or areas to congregate. A small room was a ping pong table, pool table, video games etc. Would enhance the stay. The rooms were well heated! Television reception was good, and the TV's were of a good size and in good repair.

Positives: The breakfast bar was yummy. The coffee was hot, fresh, and tasty. There was a good variety to choose from.

Negatives: The room was stark. There was only a small table and old arm chair to sit in other than the bed.

Negatives: The stairs were bad.

We had a little trouble finding the motel but once there, the clerk at the desk was very personable and helpful. For the price, thought the hotel was very good.

Positives: Nice breakfast, nice staff.

Negatives: Ice machine not as convenient as it could be, beds not very comfortable.

I was pleased to find the accommodations were Spartan, but clean & comfortable. The staff was very helpful (put me in a 1st floor room on request, with handicap parking; as requested. it was close to the office, but clean, the air conditioning worked, and they had a great continental breakfast (even though the breakfast room was extremely hot). It was an excellent value & I'd recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Positives: Friendly staff, refrigerator, great continental breakfasts & good location.

Negatives: Drain on vanity sink vented sewer gases, unless bowl was stopped & had water in it&

This is a pleasant hotel well located near major shops. The staff is friendly, although they did make a mistake on my bill (charging for a movie I asked them to cancel immediately after purchasing it.

Positives: Location near major stores, cosines of the room.

Negatives: The TV setup, all the instructions before getting to a regular channel.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a good budget hotel and I would stay there again.

Positives: The staff were so helpful when we were hit by a huge blizzard and the town shut down.

Negatives: Missing grout in the shower tiles.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 17 Oct 2006 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel was VERY clean and hotel staff very friendly. However, room was more of a one star then a two. Beds were not very comfortable and every time my husband or I moved the bed creaked so loud that it woke the other up. Sounded like a bag of potato chips! The water pressure was very low. It was a long walk to the room outside. There is an elevator but it was a long walk as well. This is a hotel I would stay at if all you needed was cheap and clean. I would recommend for that but its not a comfort motel or anything to get excited about. I have stayed in nicer Motel 6's.

Positives: Very clean, very friendly staff.

Negatives: The hotel was outdated. The bed's were not that comfortable and the shower had very low water pressure.
