From the oustside, this 60s-appearing motel looks like it is falling apart. Inside, though, the roms, if nit overly large, are comfortable and the selection of TV channels--over 70 of them--is all one could ask for. The vanity area and separate toilet/shower area have been remodeled, there is ample scalding hot water and the shower head delivers a comfortable volume... more

At $59 + tax this was a bargain, but I'm glad I didn't have to spend too much time here - and the time I did spend was occupied watching the TV (Showtime & HBO channels, but quite a few missing from the rest of the line-up), which helped drown out the noise of the traffic. Check-in clerk was almost... more

Room seemed put together with paper clips and string. Everything hung at wrong place (mirrors, hairdryer), the furniture was ok but bath sink vanity was yard-sale quality. Pool is unheated, and just out in the open parking lot, next to a nasty hot tub and the out-of-order washer & dryer! I guess you could stand on your car hood and... more

When I arrived at the hotel I found a barefoot clerk that looked like he was trying to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for Longest Fingernails – Most establishments have a dress code and require a certain level of personal hygeine, so I was a little put off by this. I arrived at my hotel room only... more

I had never stayed in a Howard Johnson before, let alone a Howard Johnson Express. I got the chance last week when I was sent down for training. Training was to be held in the Doubletree thats just a few doors down (walking distance easy). My first reaction upon finding the "hotel" was, "Are you serious?" As I entered the... more

I spent one night at the motel, and that was enough. The room was tiny, and while it seemed acceptably clean, things were old. The faucet for the sink was loose, and the room was not well insulated from outside and highway noise. I had gone here because, unlike the rather nice Days Inn Hotel Circle that I had spent... more
