This was a nightmare. Our rooms were not reserved correctly (both were to have bay view, got there and neither had bay view even though I had called to make sure 2 days prior.) One room only had 1 bed instead of 2 that were reserved. Rooms were dirty. Lock didn't work on the door. Stains on upholstery. Food was... more

I stayed at Howard Johnson at the end of June 2008 for two nights. The hotel had been booked for me already due to being part of a softball team. However, when I looked at the previous reviews I was very nervous and almost got a room in Newport. I did end up staying at Howard Johnson and it was... more

I stayed here completely unexpectedly after the hotel I had originally booked with in Newport completely mismanaged the booking. I would never have stayed here had I read the reviews beforehand, but it was alright. In the light of day the common areas of the hotel were in real need of repair and painting. When I arrived there was raucous... more

Our stay was last summer, and I meant to do this back several months ago but tried to put the horrible experience out of my mind. I thought of it again becasue we starting the think about where we will stay in Waldport this year, I can definitley say it won't be at the Howard Johnson. I booked a room... more

I just recently (9/21/07-9/23/07; room 134) stayed at the Howard Johnson in Waldport, Oregon and am totally disgusted with the condition of the room, the quality (and lack of attention to details) by the cleaning staff, and the condition of the grounds (including the thinness of the walls). My 15-year old daughter and I drove down to Waldport to visit... more

We booked our room online an specifically requested a room with a view of the water and air conditioning. By the description on the website, I thought that we would have a normal sized room with a microwave, etc. The room was tiny, really hot, and stinky. The view was a partial view of the bay if you pressed your... more

the room smelled of Clorox and had to air out room, the pool was not heated as advertised and was told there was continental breakfast but there wasn’t one. The area for pets had so many stickers my dog couldn’t walk. Front desk person unhelpful when addressing issues and asking about dining. Would not stay there again more

The Howard Johnson chain should be ashamed to have this property carry their name. The carpet in the room was terribly stained and the deadbolt was broken. The hotel in general is dilapadated. We were told they were in the progress of renovations, but we had been told that several months ago and there were no signs of any such... more

Do NOT stay here. This was an absolutely terrible experience. The food in the adjacent restaurant, once you actually got the right thing that you ordered was awful. We couldn't even eat half of it, but of course were charged full price even after complaining (as was everyone else in the dining room). The room we were placed in was... more
