Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We did not stay at this property after going to our room and finding dirty underwear under the bed along with dust and cobwebs. The outside parking lot was completely vacant at 3 pm and it just had the feeling you may not want to arrive to late at night. We did our best to feel ok here but we just were not comfortable staying. Further review of ratings that marked this property with high ratings show it was the same person multiple times. We book through Travelocity for most trips but we will look more closely next time to find the true reviews which would have told us this wasn’t the place for us. We’ve requested a refund but have not had further response or success with this. Do not recommend this location.

Not a bad place. One guy at the desk was very friendly, but old guy was acting like I owed him some money. A big plus is the parking and If you don't have very small kids with you you can walk to Dorney Park. Guy during Breakfast was friendly also.

Very small room, a few thin towels, and very small options for breakfast. We did not stay the second night. We drove home instead. I would not use Howard Johnson again.

The sheets on the bed had blood on them on check-in. My daughter went up to ask for a different room. They handed her bedding sheets and blankets for her to change them instead of giving her a different room. Bathroom was filthy. Property was in poor repair and unsafe so we checked out and went to a different hotel.

The bed was "made" with nerds candy and hair in it! Front desk agent told me I had to come down to get the sheets for me to remake the bed (which I refused, so he did bring them to me, except I only got a flat sheet delivered) Floor clearly not vaccumed in quite awhile, dead bug and crumbs were clear indicators, and tv cable cord was coming out of a hole in the wall...

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay are the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advice. We travelled with two six year olds and lots of luggage and despite the stairs up to the elevator this was one of the nicest places we stayed in the four weeks
