Except for the fire alarms this hotel was very good. The location was fine and the room was comfortable.

Positives: The room was very comfortable and breakfast was good.

The hotel didn't look very impressive at first but the room was very nice. There was a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, and a<BR/>DVD player. The two double beds comfortable fit 4 people. There was plenty of parking. The continental breakfast was good and even started an hour early to accommodate the event most guests were attending.

Positives: The room had a fridge. Good continental breakfast.

Negatives: The outside appearance wasn't spectacular. Staff gave wrong directions.

The Internet did not work. The hotel room was filthy. The carpets were filthy. The hallways were long. The room was noisy and the breakfast was horrible.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

The room was well appointed, the beds were good and the air conditioner was quiet and had a digital temperature setting. We especially appreciated being able to set the temperature for the night. The continental breakfast would have been better had there been several adult, non-sugar-loaded cereals.

Positives: Quiet room, air conditioner with digital temperature setting.

Negatives: Not enough fruit and non-sugar-loaded cereals at breakfast.

A great price and very close to the Newburgh airport. Good pizza house next door. Good value but you'll be sharing the floor with drunken partiers and a smelly carpet.

Positives: The price and location were excellent.

Negatives: The pool is a literal pile of dirt and concrete.

I think the staff in this hotel is friendly; however the upkeep and cleanliness need to be addressed.

Positives: The cleaning staff left clean towels daily.

Negatives: The lack of bathroom cleanliness, there was mold in the bathtub.

Staff was accommodating, putting us on the ground floor since we had two toddlers and a number of bags in three rooms.

Positives: The continental breakfast was very nice with make your own waffles.

Negatives: No transportation to or from the airport or train station.

This hotel was a good value for the money. It is near the airport and shopping. It is being renovated and still has a way to go before it's completed, however, what they have renovated looks lovely, clean and new. The only negative was the smoke smell in the hallway coming from the smoking rooms. Breakfast was simple, fresh and delicious. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Positives: Great staff and conveniently located.

Negatives: It's in the middle of being renovated and parts of it are still old and the smoking rooms smell bad in the hallway.

We specifically requested a room for two adults and one child and got a room with a king size bed. The front desk person was not friendly, the Lobby and hall ways smelled, there was not TV except one station and the wireless internet did not work. A very unsatisfactory experience.

Positives: It was close to the airport.

Negatives: It smelled.

I paid $65 to stay in this Howard Johnson's on a Saturday night. After reading other reviews, I was dreading it a bit, but it was a very pleasant experience. The lobby is recently renovated. The rooms have new mattresses and linens and were clean. Everything worked and nothing was shabby and old. If I had to find minor complaints: the heater was loud; the hallway smelled of old smoke; the water pressure was only so-so.

Positives: Clean, updated, good value.

Negatives: Stagnant smoke smell in hall.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 05 Feb 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Though the hallways smelled of smoke, the room itself had no hint of smoke at all. It actually had a fridge, microwave, balcony, and large bathroom. It was a pleasant stay. The breakfast included was very small and not very impressive. I would say this is better than a 1 star hotel. It is actually cleaner than the majority of 2 star hotels in the area.

Positives: Clean and spacious.

Negatives: Hallways smelled of smoke.

We arrived at 2:30 am and there was no one at the front desk &amp; the door was locked. I had to call the hotel number to get someone to unlock the door. Then upon checkout, they wanted to charge me for 2 nights instead of one. We checked in at 2:30 am on Friday, December 21 and checked out the following morning on Saturday, December 22 at 11:00 am. I had to wait for at least half an hour for them to look into the matter.

Positives: Clean room.

Negatives: Door locked when I arrived at 2 am; had to call to be admitted.

This is bare bones lodging. The public spaces and rooms are dingy and shabby. This room is perhaps a $30 value.

Positives: Wireless internet.

Negatives: Shabby public spaces, poor bedding.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 25 May 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

I would stay there again. It was convenient and perfect for my needs.

Positives: Staff was always helpful.

Negatives: Front desk seemed a bit curt.

We enjoyed our stay. This was a pleasant experience overall. Thanks!

Positives: Very clean sheets, bed, and room.

Negatives: Stale air in hallway.

This hotel seems to be in the middle of a renovation. There's a nice new lobby out front, but you can't get to it. The wireless is free, which is nice, and they have free snacks in the rooms, with a mini fridge and microwave. The rooms are fairly clean, but have not been renovated. Hotel is right next to the airport and it's not soundproofed too well.

Positives: Free wireless, free in-room snacks, fairly clean.

Negatives: Not well soundproofed.

This hotel would be my last choice, not due to the staff-they tried their best to be helpful-the cleaning staff were wonderful and greatly appreciated due to the inconvience of cold showers for two days. When checking out I asked if an adjustment to the bill could be made and was totally ignored by the man at the desk. He was the only rude staff member that we came across during our stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone in the future.

Positives: The staff was friendly and courteous.

Negatives: Two days with no hot water, the first room smelled like stale smoke covered with perfume.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Oct 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

Although old, it has been updated. I was surprised at the size of the room and the quality. I would recommend it and would stay there again.

Positives: Exceeded my expectations; I was pleasantly surprised.

Negatives: Had to go outside to get to lobby.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Sep 2006 rated 7 out of 10.

Reasonable price for nay, good sleep.

Positives: Convenient to destination.

Negatives: Not great amenities.
