Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 03 Aug 2011 rated 1 out of 10.

Hotel did not look like anything as it was described or the pictures on web site. There were people living there, and had people offer us drugs in the hall. Pool was green with scum all over liner, and rooms were in extreme disrepair, water stained ceilings, dirty carpet, broken appliances, smelled terrible,ice machine not working well, walls very thin, and loud music blasting from rooms.

Positives: Nothing at all none of us will ever stay there again.

Negatives: Did not like anything.

The hotel was convenient to everything I needed. I had my car worked on across the street from the hotel which allowed me study time in my hotel room. I was also very impressed with the continental breakfast which saved me from having to spend money every morning. I will recommend both Priceline and Howard Johnson Hotels to all my friends and family for economic accommodations. I had an Excellent experience.

Positives: The room was excellent for the incrdible price.

Negatives: The hotel was excellent. I did not realize the exceptional quality of Howard Johnson hotels.

Overall for price paid quality was pretty good, got non smoking and room was non smoking unlike sometimes which was nice. Make sure you write a big note on door if you don't want to be disturbed because housekeeping will just keep knocking even though you tell them you don't need service. Other than that, the breakfast was fresh and good and the beds are comfortable!

Positives: It was close to where I needed to be and had a pretty good breakfast.

Negatives: Staff didn't communicate therefore I didn't get the sleep I wanted really.

Howard Johnson's is an older hotel that does not have many of the more modern updates.

Negatives: Very dirty, dingy, bed very uncomfortable.

Seen halls and rooms not vacuumed and dresser not checked by house keeping for any left items like clothes in the dressers. The bathroom needs some work in it like tile replacement and bathtub had chips in it on the outside of it.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Clothes were left in the drawers from past guest. Rooms and halls not vacuumed.

The stay was overall pretty decent. Did however experience some children running in the halls and making some rather loud noises. Loved the fact that Friendly's was literally adjoined to the hotel, didn't even have to walk outside to get there. The room was cleaned well, and very comfortable to stay in.

Positives: Right off the highway was a major plus.

Negatives: No fitted sheets on the bed, just flat sheets used.

Was not happy with the Hotel in general. I have had better experiences with HoJo's in the past. I would stay somewhere else the next time I visit this area!

Positives: Free WIFI, Coffee in room.

Negatives: Did not refill the coffee in the room. Did not make one of the beds after first night. Did not give us any information about the power failure we had.

Staff was unpleasant, there were bugs in the room, musty, dark hotel with seedy looking clientele. Not worth the price. Horrible experience. I didn't even stay one night!

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

The people were not very friendly. There was one lady that was nice. The hallways are very dark. I was scared to walk alone with my children. The pool was nice, but they never had clean towels. The hot tub had a lot of chlorine.

Positives: I liked the pool and friendly restaurant. The room was not too bad.

Negatives: The hall way is very dark and lonely. The elevator is also dark and dirty.

We found this hotel to be very in need of remodeling. The bedspread had 3 cigarette burns in it, it did not smell like smoke. The carpets were old. The walls were so thin we could hear the people in the next room talking in detail. We asked for an extra pillow and blanket and the front desk said they would send them right up 1.5 hours later we called again, after no pillow and blanket arrived, and we were told there were none. The hallways seemed dark, and dirty in the corners and edges by the moldings. The soda machine was completely empty on our floor. We got the same price at the Hampton Inn in the same town down the road, and much better quality.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Very old, asked twice for extra pillow blanket, none.

This hotel is fine for a short stay, not real elaborate, pool was nice though.

Positives: I liked the pool and hot tub.

Negatives: The breakfast could have been better, maybe a waffle maker.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 07 Aug 2006 rated 1 out of 10.

Once you left the front desk area the mold was so bad that after trying a second room and only spending about 20 minutes in the hotel both our grandchildren, who have allergies became sick. The older age 16 was better after a few hours, but the younger age 11 was sick until the next morning. The only good thing I can say for the hotel is that once we informed them of the problem they canceled our reservations without any questions.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Mold smell.
