This was a great place for our family. We really enjoyed our stay. Room was spacious and location worked well for us. We also enjoyed breakfast but wished there was more variety. It was the exact same thing every day. A lot of places will roared their hot items but that wasn’t the case here. The sign out front still said Howard Johnson so that was a little confusing. Staff was great. There was an older woman housekeeper that was so nice and friendly.

There were kids running up and down the hall until 3 am. They also ran out of breakfast food for the second and third morning we were there. Other than that, we had a good stay.

They were amazing! Rooms were immaculate, service was friendly. They let us check in early and use the breakfast area to hang out with friends and family. Two hot tubs are a plus!! They were hot and so enjoyable.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and it was by far the best hotel we've stayed at. Super friendly staff, clean rooms, a good location. The pool is heated so it was comfortable to be in and its big enough that we never felt cramped even when there were a dozen kids. Breakfast was really good and between 6-7 they do a happy hour with free drinks and popcorn every night. This hotel by far exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend.

We had our room upgraded to help with the comfort of our grandkids. I could not believe how easy it made us to have fun by allowing the kids to roam in the rooms.

I liked the sound proofness of the room. There was a dog on one side of me and a baby on the other and had no idea. Most of the noise comes from the door and in the hallway. Location is close to downtown area, you could walk. Also this hotel has a nightly happy hour from 6 to 730 and serves tap beer, box wine, or soda and popcorn. I've never stayed at a hotel that does that nightly. The pool and hot tub area were very nice but busy in the evenings after we were gone all day. The breakfast was typical but I miss the cereal and milk. We stayed Sunday thru Friday and I would recommend and stay again.

Was definitely a pleasant surprise wondering how a Howard Johnson's Hotel would be these days but we would absolutely recommend staying here if you're in this area... we took a family road trip around the country a few weeks ago and stayed at 17 different hotels and HoJo was certainly a winner!!
