This motel had a « vintage » feel, but the room was clean and quiet, with a comfortable bed. Served my purpose for a reasonable price. I would stay there again.

My stay at the Howard Johnson was good. The staff were friendly. I had a nice swim in the pool. My room had all brand new towels and sheets. I think the bed was brand new too, very comfortable. The water i in the shower/bath was good and hot. I stayed with my wife and two children. Places is perfect for the budget minded traveler.. I thought the staff were very friendly. I have decided that I will come and stay again. For me, the location is very good.. most of the guests I ran into and talk to were laid-back and friendly. There is a Mexican place next-door. You can walk to supposed to be very good., the air conditioning worked well. I thought there was a lot of channels on the TV.. place is kind of old, but I had fresh paint in the room. It was decorated nicely. The light was good. I like the coffee they had in the room. If you’re not too picky, the place is a good value.

After five minutes in our room, we left to look for another hotel. The pictures are deceiving. This hotel is terrible. It is very run down and badly kept. The room had a musty smell and it looked old. The tv was small and malfunctioning. We had a horrible experience. Unfortunately, we lost the one hundred dollars that we paid for the night. I do not recommend staying at this Howard Johnson.

It’s outdated but clean! Very good price and we enjoyed outside tables with a swimming pool! We stayed for 2 consecutive nights and it was very quiet, good beds and A/C was working fine! So many restaurants and grocery shops around, we liked it and we would for sure come back!

No good

Very gross and outdated. “Clean” But the carpets have never been replaced. Felt unsafe staying here with my kids. So I didn’t! And asked for a refund
