Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bedding was clean and the location was ideal for everything we had planned, having said that, HoJo’s is not what it used to be. I don’t even think they had anything to do with Howard Johnson’s besides the sign. There were guest banging on doors late at night, activity in the parking lot that was questionable. The rooms looked like they haven’t been wiped down in awhile. I’ve been in worse so things like this don’t really bother me. I’m just thankful there were no bed bugs and we had a place to stay.
