I should have guessed when the so-called "shuttle" van showed up late with the passenger side window broken and the door's inside panel ducktaped together and an $8 one-way fee. Didn't know I was going to the seedy side of town with nudie clubs and Budda Bing across the street. The room was smelly, dirty, an AC that blew freezing... more

Where do I start? This was the worst stay i have ever had. The hotel is surrounded by strip clubs and sex shops. There were shady cars driving/cruising around the parking lot. The room was disgusting. It was dirty, cigarette burns on the blankets, and the smelly. more

I really don't see why this has gotten so many bad reviews. The negatives: it is located in the strip club district next to a liquor store and it has no elevator. Everything else was more than adequate. There was no noise, it was steps away from Wal-mart, Best Buy, Target, K-mart and the stadium. There are many restaurants located... more

My friend and I stayed here the night before going on a cruise. It is not as bad as others have posted. I got to the hotel about 7:00 p.m. and the free shuttle service from the airport was easy and convenient. There are several "strip" clubs nearby but the Howard Johnson was quiet the whole night. The room although... more

This is an older property that met our needs quite well. We needed a bed for one night before starting a cruise and did not want to pay a lot for amenities. For under $60 we got an ordinary room that was acceptably clean with a free shuttle from the airport and a good shuttle (for a $10 fee) to... more

We stayed at this hotel in late February of 2005 having made the reservation through the Howard Johnson web site almost a year earlier. We arrived on a late flight and we were leaving the next morning on a cruise. The rate was quite reasonable ($50 for two) and included the typical continental breakfast. The room was certainly in need... more

We have stayed at many Howard Johnson's and we have always been happy with our stay. We arrived and checked in. The man at the desk had a hard time understanding us. We had booked 4 months in advance because we were taking a cruise. When we arrived in our room it only had one bed. We had two teens... more
