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.

Clean but dated hotel
Pros:

Stayed here over a long weekend. The hotel was clean but a bit outdated in the room. The lobby area and breakfast area are very small so when larger groups of people show up it can be hard to move around. There is plenty of parking around the building and I never had any issue finding a spot to park in even during a busy holiday.

The location is just a few minute drive from Downtown Portsmouth but it is not within walking distance.

The room was comfortable/cool. Housekeeping refreshed my room every day. Staff were friendly. No one bothered me.

Cons:

Coffee could be better
