This is an okay place to stay if you just need a quick place to sleep. More of an old motel than a hotel.

Pick somewhere else!

Parking is not ideal, room was adequate but could use an update. Breakfast options were terrible and should not be advertised as breakfast, barely anything for guests to eat at all. The ice machine area was very next to a very creepy stairwell that had no door, unsafe.

We felt like for the price that we paid for the room. It was old and not up-to-date. Our carpet was stained and dirty. Our building was old and the pool area was old. The breakfast was very minimal and the building was noisy. You could hear other rooms around you.

We booked this property since it was close to Hershey Park and the online images looked nice but they are definitely old photos. We waited an hour and a half to check in because there was literally no one working in the entire hotel. Howard Johnson was no help when I called them. A staff member finally pulled up at 3pm to check us in. Also the breakfast was not on the go breakfast it was oatmeal packets, Raisin Bran, and Frosted Flakes. Will never return!

If this was a continental breakfast there was 2 cereals, coffee, juice, bagels w cr ch only no butter that’s all nothing else My husband went to get coffee @ 9:15 the guy said he dumped it out there was no more?? It’s still breakfast? The room was not worth the price, I booked this room in April & it was the same price w Expedia on the day we arrived, it should have been cheaper in April booking it earlier! The room I’d say was worth $129/night. The only good part it was close to things that’s all

I would have thought being part of the Wyndham family would have elevated the Howard Johnson property. While staff was very nice, both at the front desk and restaurant, the property itself needs help. Our non-smoking room had an unpleasant odor upon entrance and the hallway smelled of smoke. The lack or building security was shocking- anyone could access the hotel as doors did include the same technology as entering your room (I.e. using room card). The “business center” was a poorly painted room that didn’t even include a chair. Do better HoJo!

No Food

The hotel was clean. It advertises a breakfast but does NOT provide one. There were two bins of cold cereal and black coffee. No milk, juice, fruit, danish, sugar... Just dry cold cereal and black coffee. This was in the middle of it's open for eating hours. It was the cheapest hotel but cost us more when you have to add in the cost of going out to eat. I would not stay there again.
