The staff at the Ho Jo are always outstanding, friendly and so accommodating! However, the cost is significantly higher since our previous stay, and I’m wondering if this isn’t influenced by the people displaced from their communities and the wild fires in Canada. It appears all hotels and motels prices have rose substantially.

Located near the main highway, lots of restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations very close by. Breakfast included waffles, cereal, coffee/tea/juice, hardboiled eggs, yogurt and fresh fruit, and bagels/toast (individually wrapped portions to ensure no contamination from fingers 😋). Very sanitary. Rooms bright and clean, a/c worked well, so overall very comfortable and quiet. There was a guest coin laundry available as well. Traveling with spouse and our dog, and we all enjoyed a very restful night!

Good clean hotel, and our group enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was supposed to be at 6:30 then it wasn't ready, and we have to wait. It wasn't a real Continental breakfast, but rather pre-wrapped did choices. I would recommend it.

Bathroom is pretty dated and could definitely use an update, but otherwise the room was pretty comfortable. The doors don’t keep out any noise from the hallway though so we were woken up multiple times in the early morning by other guests chatting outside of their rooms. Besides that, it was pretty quiet considering the hotel was right on a busy thoroughfare. We appreciated the free breakfast included. There were waffles, bagels, bread, cereals, yogurt, muffins, hard boiled eggs, and drinks. As other guests have mentioned, it would be nice to have a couple more proteins, but overall free breakfast was decent and well-maintained.
