I was really expecting a flea bag. What I found was a clean, nicely decorated lobby, and a clean room/bathroom. This place must have cleaned up its act. Its entrance is a little obscure and not well marked though. The owners need to have a modest, well-lit sign at their entrance off Hillendale. I've stayed in major chain low quality inns that charged as if they were, and this wasn't one of them.

POOR Choice!

This should have been $20-30 a night. Bathroom was filthy. Mold and soap scum so thick you could write in it. The blow dryer was broken and we only had two towels (the room was reserved for three). A leg was falling off the table in our room, and the cloth chairs were stained. We didn't sit in them. Parking lot, grounds, pool, and buildings are old and in bad shape. In fact, entire neighborhood is run down. Not worth the price by any standards. In the morning, my family and I went to the lobby for the free breakfast. Hah! A few mini-muffins, a few bagels, and two pastries were the choice. And NO COFFEE! IN AMERICA! I never heard of such a thing. We went somewhere else. All of us were very disappointed, and I felt like I had been conned. We would not have stayed if I hadn't already paid for the room three days prior. We won't be going back to this hotel. And if this is the standard for Howard Johnson hotels, we won't be staying at any of them ever again.

To say we were disappointed would be an under statement. Upon entering our room, room # 111, the first thing we noticed was the air conditioning unit did not have lettering or numbers to help you in controling the room temperature; the smoke detector was disconnected; the electrical outlet by the head of the bed was loose and hanging from the wall; in the bathroom the toilet tank cover was replaced by a small piece of plaster board; the floor in the bathroom was constantly slippery. When we arrived in our room we naturally like to slip off our shoes and walk around in stocking feet. BIG MISTAKE, your socks became filthy from the imbedded dirt in the carpet. Futhermore the hallway doors, which were supposed to be key card activated were always open or ajar. To add insult to injury the ice machines did not work. Every time you would need ice you would have to go to the front office and request them to fill your ice bucket. On two different occassions my husband had to break up the ice in the ice bags so he could fill the ice bucket. Needless to say we will never stay at this motel again and the experience makes us wonder how you could have ever recommended Howard Johnson in the first place.
