too expensive for the quality

The room we had was not recently renovated, was small and had an old wall-towall carpet. We stayed 3 nights and they even forgot to clean the room once. Bathroom very small, no storage except on a small counter. Breakfast is included but do not expect a large choice of cereals, fruits or even toasts. Coffee is good and free 24 hours and room has a large t.v. with a good choice of programs.

I did not like that there was no elevator and I was not made aware of this at the time of booking with Expedia. This should be mentioned when making a booking. I have a lung problem so it is very difficult for me to climb stairs especially with luggage.

Collin

Disliked: Room comfort

Damp, musty, chemical smell.

I will give some credit where it is due: Decent sized room, quiet, comfortable enough bed, pillows, big tv, decent outdoor pool. And now the cons: First thing I noticed walking into my room is that I was pummeled by a strong must & chemical smell. Even the carpet sort of felt damp somehow. I'm sure it must be a cleaning product or something but the chemical smell is so strong that even after leaving the windows open all night, every time i went outside and walked back in the smell was still so very strong that it was instant headache, watery eyes, stuffed sinuses. Walking outside of the room instantly cleared up the symptoms. If it wasn't the cleaning products in the carpet that did that then it must be from the musty smell which likely is mold. The smell constantly stabbed me in the brain. Very difficult to sleep like that. Didn't mention it to the staff because in talking to the other guests outside they had the same complaint. While things appeared clean, because of the dampish carpet and smell I never felt clean. For the last 10 years I have stayed in many a hotel and motel for work. I'm not that picky. All I need is to feel clean and comfortable and I really don't care about any other amenities. That being said when the floor feels damp and the strong chemical smell makes it impossible for you to relax, I feel like the Howard Johnson is overlooking some pretty standard things.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel in general was clean, quiet and convenient to all activities in and around Gananoque. Front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. The amenities (coffee maker, iron/board) were not available. The "bagged breakfast" was very minimal and coffee/tea was through a vending type machine. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return but prepare for lack of a few amenities.

This is my go-to hotel in Gananoque and it never disappoints. It’s not luxurious or trendy, but the bed is always comfortable, the shower is always drenching, and the front-desk staff is always friendly and welcoming. There’s a basic breakfast offered, but there are other dining options minutes away. I will be happy to return the next time I’m in Gananoque!
