  • Nice Room, Convenient Location, Low Rate..GREAT VALUE

    Oct 23 '00
    Pros: Clean historic hotel with great rates!
    Cons: None

    Summary: Does it seem to you that Howard Johnson has an image problem? It sure does to me. I can't think of anyone I know who picks HoJo as their favorite hotel chain. And that goes for me too!

    When we're talking hotel chains, Howard Johnson is...

  • Never make first impressions.

    Apr 20 '02
    Pros: Refrigerator, and microwave. They sold Busch Garden tickets, and was within walking distance of it.
    Cons: A lot of stuff.

    Summary: Me and my family were having a nice vacation in Florida. Already having reservations made, we checked into the Howard Johnson Hotel in Tampa Florida.We were planning to stay there for two nights, but from our experience we decided to stay for only one...

  • Staying With Pets at Howard Johnson Lincoln, Nebraska

    Mar 28 '02
    Pros: Clean, comfortable room, reasonably priced, warm pool, nearby meals.
    Cons: Minor annoyances: towels, clock, only decaf coffee, no continental breakfast, no hot tub

    Summary: Every now and then my hubby and I like to get out of town, just for a day or so, see a little territory that is different, yet familiar, and that is what Lincoln, Nebraska does for us.

    We are economical, so the AAA discounted room rate of $46...

  • Just Say No To Howard Johnson

    Aug 23 '01
    Pros: Close to the Airport
    Cons: Dirty, Noisy, Rude Employees

    Summary: Traveling as much as I do for work and pleasure you get a feel for the good, the bad and the ugly of hotels. Howard Johnson was the ugly. It started out by the shuttle drive nearly killing us with his reckless driving and almost running into a train....

  • HoJo is for Hobos

    Aug 13 '01
    Pros: Hmmmmm
    Cons: Everything

    Summary: We went on a trip to Tampa and stayed at a Travelodge (yuck) Then we drove to Orlando and stayed at the HoJo only for 1 night (thank God) so we could watch a Magic game. It was walking distance to the Sports-Plex but it was dark outside so we took a taxi...

  • Howard Johnson - Fort Meyers Beach - RUDE!

    Aug 09 '01
    Pros: Ocean View
    Cons: Everything Else

    Summary: Howard Johnson – Fort Meyers Beach

    February 2000 –

    My parents invited my husband and I to go to Fort Meyers Beach, Florida with them for a week. They offered to pay for the hotel room; we just had to pay airfare and personal...

  • It's not a 3star hotel

    Aug 09 '01
    Pros: close to freeways
    Cons: badly in need of new bathroom, sound proof. Too far from anywhere,

    Summary: Just because we arrived 2 am in the morning, no one was available to help us with luggages.
    Next morning, even though we hung the "Do not disturb" sign, house keeping was knocking on our door at 9:30 am asking if we need our rooms cleaned. Next...

  • For a cheap, clean night's sleep, HoJo is the place

    Aug 06 '01
    Pros: Clean, friendly staff, convenient location
    Cons: No food service, bland selection in the vending machines.

    Summary: My fiance and I spent last night at the local Howard Johnsons. Our stay there was a last minute decision because of some truely disgusting apartment problems (but that's another epinion). Fortunetly, our stay at HoJo was clean, quiet, and calming after...

  • WARNING: This HJ may be a health risk!

    Jun 26 '01
    Pros: Close to port.
    Cons: Filth and bad customer service.

    Summary: Disclaimer: I have stayed at some wonderful Howard Johnson - this is NOT one of them. I also want to acknowledge that this particular Howard Johnson may not be under the same ownership/management as it was when we stayed there in November of 2000. ...

  • What a dump!

    Jun 25 '01
    Pros: Location - near MSG/Penn Station
    Cons: Just about everything else.

    Summary: Well, I know that this is in NYC so $140 for a room isn't going to get you what you would outside of the city but man, you don't get much! I saw the pictures for this place on the web and it looked pretty decent. But as we walked down 34th and saw this...

  • Ho Jo in Key Largo

    Jun 21 '01
    Pros: It's a great hotel with it's own little beach.
    Cons: None

    Summary: Howard Johnson's can sometimes get a bad wrap. However, this Ho-Jo in Key Largo is really good. The rooms are nice, clean smelling, soft beds, nice decorations. The people who work there are very friendly. The pool is clean, with the Atlantic Ocean...

  • Go Go HoJo...Go Far Away

    Jun 14 '01
    Pros: We only had to stay there a week out of a month.
    Cons: We had to stay there a week out of the month.

    Summary: My job takes me to California for a month. There are about 13-16 of us that have to live in hotels and motels for about a month, staying in four different cities, and using a fifth hotel as a layover in between cities. This has been my third year doing...

  • Well, it looked nice.

    May 19 '01
    Pros: Great Resturaunt, Coffee Pot, Microwave, Refrigerator, Busch Gardens Tickets Sold
    Cons: Beds either sag or are stiff, Lousy cable selection, Front desk staff rude

    Summary: A few weeks ago, my family and I took our vacation to Busch Gardens (which I have reviewed) in Tampa, Florida. After the drive from Cartersville, Georgia (which is in Northwest Georgia) to Tampa (which is in West-Central Florida), we were cranky and...

  • A Tale of Two HoJos

    May 06 '01
    Pros: Hadley HoJo - good service, clean, comfortable
    Cons: Las Vegas (Airport) HoJo in general

    Summary: In my travels, I recently stayed at two Howard Johnson hotels, one in Las Vegas, Nevada, the other in Hadley, Massachusetts. My experiences at both could not be more wildly divergent.

    Service

    Las Vegas (Airport): I...

  • HoJo-We Should Have Said No!

    May 02 '01
    Pros: Cheap, there was a vacancy, we didn't have to walk far
    Cons: Everything else

    Summary: During our twenty hour drive from Florida to New Jersey recently, we were not sure where we would be staying the night. Normally we make reservations ahead of time over the internet and at least have an idea of what the hotel is like by their website....

  • Stay away! Stay far away!

    Apr 18 '01
    Pros: convenient location
    Cons: dirty, spiders, brown pool water, unchanged sheets, hair in the bathtub (not ours), OLD crib.

    Summary: Our family has happily renamed the Middletown, NY, Howard Johnson Hotel the Bates Motel. We were in town for my grandparents' 50th anniversary and decided to stay at HoJo for its convenient location. We realized we made a mistake for our five day stay...
