The so called continental breakfast was nothing more than pastries and terrible coffee.

Comfortable bed, clean.
Noisy, unacceptable breakfast quality, need serious renovation.

The name Howard Johnson used to be equivalent to Holiday Inn. No more. This one is no better then your average Motel 6, no pun intended. If you expect a Holiday In express, Marriott Suite, or La Quinta level of quality, you are up for a great disappointment and this one is across the board especially when it comes to breakfast. The proximity to the freeway makes this motel a very noisy one. More modern facilities address similar issue with specially insolation of walls and windows. This motel, doesn't seems to have it. The door to the room was hard to close which require me to do it forcefully. Judging by the banging noise coming from other rooms, it didn't seem to be an isolated case. If you are very tired after a long drive and you need a quick shower and a place to put your head during a single night, I guess it's ok, but if you are in town on business for more then one, I would recommend to look somewhere else. read more

Nothing.
Everything.

Very loud because it's right next to the interstate. It smelled.

There is nothing I liked about this hotel!
A chair was broken and my wife fell out into the floor, the shower did not drain and I was scalded.

The hotel was sub par with many problems. The TV. Was so fuzzy that it was useless, a chair was broken and my wife fell in the floor. The tub did not drain and I stepped into scalding water which had accumulated because the tub was not functioning properly. I was burned so badly that I screamed in pain. I reported this to the manager and asked for a refund, she refused and told me that I must take that up with you. She was rude and pretty much accused me of lying. So, I took her to the room and showed her the problems. I enticed her to stick her hand under the water because she said it was impossible that it would get hot enough to burn, she did so, jerked her hand back and winced. She still refused to refund my money. read more

It had a microwave and fringe.
No jacks for video games or DVD players.

It was alright for a one night stay.

Shabby but clean, hard pillows and only two per bed. I would not recommend this to anyone for the money.

It's one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.
It was a dump in ever sense of the word.

One word - dump.

Nothing
Dirty, unappealing and in a not too desirable location.

Arriving at night at this hotel can be a daunting experience when one sees a lot of people hanging about in the parking lot and a police cruiser standing by, cruising the grounds.
