My family and I were on our way from Florida to Connecticut. We drove until about 1am when we decided to take a break and tried to get some sleep. We got off the exit and headed for the first hotel we came across which just happened to be the Howard Johnson Inn Express. When we pullled up to the... more

Please people, I beg of you. Do not stay at this hotel. My mother and I were visting relatives in the area and decided to stay at a hotel for the night. I knew we were in trouble from the moment we arrived--you could barely see the hotel from the highway. When we got to our room, my mom went... more

We'd be using the Howard Johnson in Smithfield for years-immediate family in the area. Hadn't stayed in about 4 years. It's become a dive! There were people there that were using it as public housing-they had their laundry stung out on a line. There were animals-cats and dogs-milling around by the rooms.

We got out town for a weekend, about an hour and a half from home. The first night we stayed across the way at a decent little locally owned motel. We relocated for the second night because my son didn't like the dial-up internet, and thinking that this hotel had wireless he booked our second night here. BIG MISTAKE. Upon... more

We spotted the sign for a Best Western, but upon making the exit we saw this Howard Johnson property, so I told my husband to let's... more

We had a very frightening experience. A black man tried to break into our room around 2:30 a.m. Only quick thinking on my husband's part did we avoid serious injury. The people in charge of the motel didn't even come down to our room to check to see if we were okay. We called the police and they waited until... more

Stayed here in August 2003. Booked the room on line and got a real good rate. It is not the Waldorf but it was clean and the staff were really nice and helpful. Location is right off 95. We are one night stay travelers so we are not looking for four star motels. We like a clean, safe comfortable place. more
