Disgusting
Don't ever stay at this hotel it was so dirty I was afraid to walk on the carpets. The towels were dirty and smelled moldy. The pictures they show must have been when the Howard Johnson was new becaus the rooms did not look like that It was awful and I will ever stay there again.

Howard Johnson has left the building
Pros:Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
At one time, Howard Johnson offered an impeccable lodging experience, with one of the best restaurants in the country, always friendly, always affordable, and rooms always clean as a whistle. The only similarity between the former Howard Johnson's and the present hotel is that they both have the name "Howard Johnson." Beyond that, it's same planet, different worlds.
My 3/5 "Value For Money" rating reflects the fact that this was the least expensive hotel available. It would be difficult to imagine anyone "wanting" to stay here for any other reason than saving money.
The room was old, drab, and a bit shabby. The rug was poorly cleaned. There were several budget-quality appliances stacked about in random fashion, some plugged in, some not. The refrigerator had the distinctive smell of a unit that had been turned off for a long time, then recently turned on without being cleaned. The bathroom was "sort of" clean but reeked of disinfectant. The living room light didn't work until I unplugged the clock radio and plugged the lamp in. The dressing area light flickered and hummed continuously from an old fluorescent starter. The hair dryer didn't work. The TV set belongs in a museum.
The staff were courteous, though difficult to communicate with, as is usually the case with people who speak little English.I'm sure they did the best they could with what they had to work with.
Unfortunately, the once-delectable Howard Johnson's Restaurant is no more, replaced herein by an incredibly spicy Thai restaurant attached to the front of the building. If you're a food masochist and/or have a cast iron stomach, you'll love it.
Bottom Line: Short on cash and need a cheap place to crash and shower for the night? This works for that. Otherwise, almost any other hotel would be a better choice.
