My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, accommodating our family perfectly with 3 double beds. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there was a minor issue with a copier. The location was convenient, surrounded by restaurants and retail. The dining experience offered standard options but was satisfying overall.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were fine for what we needed and showed their age a bit but were clean and acceptable considering the price. The service was a mixed bag with helpful staff but some lacking people skills. The location was convenient with easy access to downtown, although the traffic was a nightmare. The dining options were fair and standard for a continental breakfast. Overall, not a top choice but could work if there are no other options.

My stay at Howard Johnson was a mixed bag. The rooms were very quiet, which was great for traveling for medical reasons, but the smell of smoke was a bit off-putting. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very friendly and even offering me a discount. The location was convenient, being near the highway and safe for walking my dog at night; however, the presence of disruptive teenage guests was a downside. The dining experience was somewhat disappointing, considering the need to get to the hospital, even though the breakfast consisted of standard processed carbs. Overall, the facilities were respectable, but the outdated entertainment stand was a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, iron, and ironing board. The hotel staff was very friendly and even deducted $5.00 from my bill, which was a nice gesture. However, the location was a bit challenging due to traffic issues when trying to leave the parking lot, but it felt safe for late-night walks. The breakfast options were decent, offering a variety of items, but the cleanliness in some areas could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The room, though well-equipped at a great price of $45, had a strong ashtray smell, dampening the experience. The service was exceptional, with a competent and friendly desk clerk making me feel welcome. The location was convenient, surrounded by amenities, yet showing signs of aging. Despite some shortcomings, the dining options were decent. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
