This hotel was NOT at all as advertised in the pictures. The entire hotel, sheets, and room smelled of cigarette smoke despite being a non-smoking hotel with signs EVERYWHERE. The sink shot out everywhere and soaked the bathroom. The entire room was dirty in places. And the staff at the front desk had no idea what they were doing. Terrible.

Typical formerly corporate owned motel sold to immigrant owners who then run it with minimal maintenance. Safety doors taped open because the locks don't work, amateur paint jobs done without first masking it off, and even spraying wall texture over electrical outlets. Wyndham should be ashamed to put their name on this motel. Plus one star for no bedbugs, thankfully.

This place should be considered a homeless shelter instead of hotel. The pictures online look NOTHING like the hotel. It's a trap! They don't refund you becuase they know you'll have no choice but to stay. Filthy, trash outside, cigarette butts and needles. GROSS!!

Decent hotel. You’re only going to stay here because you’re close to Jersey Shore without the prices. The pool area wasn’t too clean. The guests do not follow policy, and were rowdy in the hallways two nights in a row. We reported it on the second night. Front desk was a little afraid to reprimand the guest in the rooms on our hall, and I believe police were called. The best thing about this hotel was the bar-restaurant combo downstairs. We extended our stay in NJ, but did not stay here. We moved to a different hotel.

Very bad selection to stay at the Howard Johnson

Entry light to the room did not work Only bathroom and a lamp in the room worked I believe 298.00 for a night was way too much to for the poor accommodation we received.
