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.
