I wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

The bed and pillows were comfortable!

Cons:

There was underwear from another guest found in the lamp. I called to report this but I was put on hold and no one came back on the line. There was mold in the shower and lamp shades. The sheets were also stained and the dust ruffles were dirty. There was a sliding glass door on the bottom floor that didn't feel secure.

Glad it was only one night. We'll never stay at another Howard Johnson.
Pros:

Clean, basic room

Cons:

Being greeted & dealt with by a remote person, on the screen, only, was very unwelcoming, & eerie.......no humans on the premises, other than the less-than-friendly guy from another country.
Still waiting for our $50 credit refund "incidental fee", which is still pending as of today - day 4. Supposed to be returned to our credit card by 11 AM the next morning (Oct. 11).

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was a smoke smell in the hallway and room the air conditioning didn’t work it was bedbugs in the bed and the restroom was nasty with hair on the floor and inside the toilet and it was hair in the beds.

Don’t let the name foul you, way overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Location, nothing else.

Cons:

No security, the 2 out bldg with the rooms had no locks; room had a stale smell; check in & out is done on kiosk, had to pay $40 for a 2 hr checkout extension, chair in room was worn & dirty, door to room was mismatch of multiple colors. Never again.

Pros:

The room was very clean. Housekeeping tidied up our room nicely. The bed was oh so comfy. The only hotel bed that hasn't hurt my back and hips. Love the pillows. Price was pretty decent.

Cons:

No elevator. Steep stairs. Bad back. Not the hotels fault that i can't do stairs very well. Pool out of order but probably wouldn't have used it anyway. Never saw staff, check in was on a kiosk. But housekeeping tidied up our room very nicely.
