Affordable and clean
Pros:

Affordable and clean. Bed was comfy and room felt clean.

Cons:

Property was in a rougher area but still safe. Building itself is old and we couldn't tell if it was the hotel upon arrival. No elevator.

Great Stay
Pros:

Staff is very friendly, rooms are clean and great location. March 2026 was my first time staying at Howard Johnson for 4 nights and it was great. I went back in April and will be going to that area every month for the next 8 months and will ALWAYS stay at this hotel

Cons:

My only gripe really has nothing to do with them but in today's time people rarely carry cash and the vending machine only takes cash no card or tap to pay
