It was ok.
Pros:

The staff is very nice. The free breakfast wasn’t bad. There was muffins, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches (in the fridge) It was close to the liquor store and places to eat.

Cons:

The room could have been updated. The bathroom redone. The windows had mold on them. (Not sure inside or out) and it was high price for no pool, jacuzzi, or even a full breakfast.

This would’ve been a nice motel in the 60s.
Pros:

The breakfast was adequate and the server there was helpful and friendly.

Cons:

This was a return to the 60’s. I suppose that was the purpose of the decor. The room was small and not necessarily up to modern standards. The breakfast area was very small.

Fine. Sleeping well means a lot.
Pros:

We slept well. Check-in and out were quick. Convenient location. Cost less than other places. Iconic Howard Johnson’s! I liked the retro posters.

Cons:

Breakfast area was very tight. Discoloration in tub and the shower spray was a single stream.
