Howard Johnson room review

We’re still staying here. It’s expensive. There’s a pool which is nice, but it is too much money for not a very clean room. Also, the staff won’t let the security deposit being cash but overall they’re pretty friendly when I ask for towels I get them and swimming is fun.

Good for the price.

Room was clean. Area was fairly quiet when it counted. 2nd time staying here. TV is tiny but, I used the wifi and my laptop so, not an issue for me. La Fiesta is right next to hotel so, I had a great Mexican meal right next door. Wolf road is nearby so, shopping and much more is just a short trip away. Will book again next year.

Look behind the dresser

Much better stay this year then last year! This this the lights around the vanity actually worked! The only issue was with house keeping quality, everything was clean, but I did find a stick from some incense stick in the crack of the backsplash, and a previous guests shorts behind the dresser! The last 2 nights, the smoke detector was chirping, you would this that when house keeping was doing their daily service they would notice it and do something about it. Im a hard sleeper, and it didn't bother me
