I've never stayed at Howard Johnson before but this was definitely not one of the best rooms I've stayed in. The Tv did not work and when we called the front desk there was no one available to come fix it. The bathroom door did not close. We had 2 rooms and both rooms had the same issue. We found bugs in the shower on two separate occasions. It overall was a disappointing experience.

Not as bad as you would think.

Beds are very nice and comfy. Pillows a little above average as far as comfort. Otherwise, quiet and convenient. Price was fair.

This was the loudest place I’ve ever stayed, unfinished Sheetrock patches inside the room door didn’t latch tight. The room smelled like cigarette smoke and the outside noise was loud all night of was called on circus circus car park across the street for excessive partying . Also lots of tweakers making it not a safe place to stay
