Very disappointing!
Pros:

Breakfast?? 2 energy bars is not breakfast!

Cons:

We were told to take the elevator on the other side of the parking lot but when we got there, it wasn't working - we had to walk back across the parking lot to take that elevator. We felt the staff should have known the elevator wasn't working 😒

Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Me descontaron $100 del depósito eso lo tienen que regresar al menos que halla algo quebrado o alguien se lleve algo de la habitación pero lo mío fue lo contrario dejamos todo bien y me descontaron $100 además las colchas tenía manchas blancas ósea estaba sucio

They deducted $100 from the deposit that they have to return unless they find something broken or someone took something from the room but mine was the opposite we left everything fine and they discounted me $100 in addition the quilts had white stains bone was dirty

Don’t do it
Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Dirty . Not what I expected from Howard Johnson . Parking was maybe you can maybe you can go park over there across the street. The lock on the door was plastic and was clearly broken before so I had to put a chair in front of the door. I only stayed for a few hours as my Flight got delayed several hours and I was exhausted.

Terrible noise! All night long
Pros:

Location, parking

Cons:

On major street with noise all night. Old single pane window shoud be replaced with dual pane to lessen the street noise. Elevator did not work forcing a long walk for handicapped senior. Bath tub/Shower had no bars for seniors. Their advertised breakfast was a roll and coffee. I will never stay there again.

Comfortable enough for a roadtrip visit to Reno but nothing more.
Pros:

It was comfortable enough for a layover night on a roadtrip.

Cons:

Very old & dated even though it was supposed to have been revitalized. Poor quality upgrades.

Great value for the given price. Very satisfied with my stay.
Pros:

I liked that there were enough accommodations inside my room like towels, soaps and cups for ice and drinks.

Cons:

There was a little bit of a floor dent that needed to be fixed but it was not that bad.
