“Very basic low budget option.”

Staff were pleasant and desired to help. The facility is aging and showing it.

“HO JO Stay”

The room was OK for place to stay but first the key did not work and had to get another. Second the door was very hard to open and close. Third on our third night stay when we returned to the room the room was not made up and when we complained to the management they said oops. Fourth the fire alarm started to beep and went off, when we inquired about it they said it was nothing and if it went out again to disconnect it. I would probably find a Motel 6 or Travel lodge on my next stay there as all I need is a clean room and a clean bead to stay. I would not recommend anyone to stay here unless one needed to of a night.

“Train noise, lumpy bed, nice spa but cold pool”

The knobs on the A/C spun all the way around, and I didn't know if I was turning on the heat or the A/C. I was very tired from some 14 hours of traveling, and didn't want to try to figure it out. So, it was somewhat cool outside, so I opened the windows. However, the close proximaty of the train tracks was annoying, and about every 15-20 minutes, a train went by. I was feeling a little ill already, but I had a horrible nights' sleep nonetheless. This seems to be the trend at a lot of hotels/motels: only 1 pack of condiments for the coffee. There is enough coffee for 2-3 cups, but why only 1 sugar and 1 creamer for the entire pot of coffee? I asked and was able to get more from the front desk. This motel is on the historic Route 66, and I'm sure that this motel has been here for quite some time. However, the caulking job around the bathtub looked like it was done by a novice. The water kept changing temperatures during my shower. There is a restaurant attached to the motel, which was convenient. Prices were reasonable and the food was pretty good. The spa was in the back, generally secluded from the highway traffic, and was comfortable. It was connected to the pool by a dividing wall, so you could go from the spa to the pool without completely getting out of the water. The pool water was rather cold-I did not go in the pool. (This was early September.) The staff was very polite and courteous. All in all, it wasn't worth what we paid. I think it's worth about half of that.

“STAY AWAY!!!!”

I've stayed at some "cut-rate" hotels but I expected much more from a Howard Johnson's. The beds were terrible; old, bumpy, kind of smelly! The refer wasn't even plugged in, then was noisy when we did plug it in and never really got cool. The railroad tracks are literally across the street! Trains run all night long and sound horns regardless of the hour! The pool was "out of order", yeah...for awhile, it was green & crusty. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, Howard Johnson's should revoke their endorsement before people, like me, are afraid of checking in to a repeat performance!

“Least favorite and not impressed”

Unless you don't sleep, this motel isn't recommended. Nearby trains (l00 meters) sound like they are outside the door.Way overpriced for their location and room

“Old Howard Johnson's”

I thought I had booked at the one on Lucky Lane, but found myself on Route 66 next to the train tracks that are active day and all through the night. They wanted to charge me an additional $10 for the second floor. No breakfast included. They charge higher than the newer, nicest Howard Johnson's

“Traveling with Pets”

One of the few places with a restuarant attached - front desk polite and helpful. Cat and dog liked it fine (for an extra $10/each)

“ok for last minute”

it was a nice hotel the beds were a little stiff but 3 out of 5 stars

“Do not go there - overpriced for the quality of the room.”

Absolutely not worth it. The walls are as thin as wallpaper, you can hear everything around. The rooms were not clean, even the sheets had stains. Not worth it. Go to the other Howard Johnson in town.
