We've stayed in Howard Johnson Inns before, so we never in our wildest dreams expected this one. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. We will never advance book a room at a Howard Johnson again. The carpets were filthy, the bed might as well have been a sheet of plywood. There were holes in the blinds. The towels... more

Our room had a new carpet and was quite acceptable, but if it had been refurbished it could have done with a little more thought and some more renovation to make it more modern and neutral. The fridge and air-con were both very noisy when in use. We were at the back on the ground floor. It opened onto a... more

Do not stay here. Trust me on this! We chose this hotel because we figured if it was a chain (HoJo) there must be some standards as to upkeep and cleanliness. This place is so absolutely horrible, that we lost our $100 prepaid reservation and went to another hotel (Comfort Inn) instead of staying a single night at this dive.... more

The mattresses from the 50's left a bunch of us with sore backs... I am off to the chiropractor because of it in an hour and will be missing work today... missed my workout last night. If you are ever in Swift Current do NOT stay at the Howard Johnson. Friends of mine had crickets in their room that kept... more

It was the only place that had rooms and I know why. It was bad. I travel a lot and have stayed in many hotels but this one was the worst. Renovations? What renovations? We where on the second floor and there were no renovations there. Carpet was dirty, key lock on door was not very secure, old TV, bed... more

We had booked by phone,and were told that the pool was now open and operational,but were NOT told that the entire hotel was under renovations! Our room was fairly clean but falling apart. When my husband took my twin 3 year-olds to go swimming,the pool area was FREEZING!!!! My daughters' lips were BLUE after only 15 minutes! (the water was... more

We booked our room by directly contacting the property directly. After reading prior reviews on trip advisor, we had requested rooms in the "renovated section" of the hotel. Management also assured us that we would have a renovated room. We arrived at the hotel only to find a dirty room with a filthy carpet and little heat. No renovations here....no... more

What a gross hotel room. I live/work on the road all over alberta, bc and sask and i thought i had previously stayed in some nasty hotels. I would like to tell you that that record has now been broken here. I dont even feel comfortable taking off my shoes...The carpets are disgusting and the first thing i do when... more

As soon as we entered our room, you could not help but notice that some animal, a dog presumably, had soiled the carpetting near the door. The nasty mess was ground into the fibres. I could hardly believe my eyes. We returned to the front office, complained, and were told that ALL carpets were due to be replaced. Great, but... more
