The room was excellent, nice size and very clean. The location is not bad, being on a street with a lot of other hotels/motels.....some reviews said it is walking distance from the wharf, but we tried it and it is quite a way, perhaps half an hours walk. The only real negative was the internet access, which was non-existent in... more

My husband and I stayed here for one night as part of a longer trip. We chose this hotel based on the fact that we were only staying for one night and we just needed a place to sleep and not much else. This place fit the bill. We were very tired and the manager allowed us to check in... more

We stayed on the top floor of the rear building. Our room was large enough for our many pieces of luggage and for us to have room to move freely. We appreciated the excellent lighting, the helpfulness of the managers, the comfortable king bed, and the squeaky clean rooms. The sink drainer was a bit of a problem, but it... more

I made this reservation a number of months ago without knowing what it was like. The motel is old and smells of mold, not only my opinion, but the same story from other people in our group. After a night, we got up to find out that the shower did not work. Only dribbles of water came out unless you... more

This hotel has the BEST front desk person we have encountered in all our travels! If "Hatel" is working, your stay will be perfect! We stumbled upon this Howard Johnson's by accident (Priceline.com). After the transaction on Priceline was complete, I went to tripadvisor and read horrible reviews of the hotel. I was frantic to resind the reservation but could... more

Traveling with children can be scarry and if your not sure where to stay this is the place. It is clean and the staff is friendly. No pool is a set back however, but we were there for sightseeing and the Aquairum. Huge shopping cener less than a 1.2 miles with outdoor resturants and movie theaters. I contacted the local... more

I got a great deal on the hotel ($49.50/night including taxes) and it was fine for the price. The bed wasn't great and it was kind of noisy, but it was clean and a pretty good location. It was really hard to understand the manager- he was Indian with a very thick accent- so make sure you get everything in... more

Loved this place. After searching for rooms for my husband and I's honeymoon and experiencing a bunch of rudeness it was refreshing to come to the Howard Johnson Express. We walked in and immediately felt welcomed. There was great conversation between us and she recommended places of interest and restaurants. We got a great deal on our room which included... more

I was at this hotel on 7th nov. with my family. When we booked for this hotel, we choose it especially for the hi-speed conection internet. The room was clean,spacious, but very noisy from the upside rooms and from stairs. The breakfast was the smallest that I see, but the main problem was the internet conection. They gave us a... more

Room smelled a bit - not sure of what. Front door hard to open and close and interior of front door/walls in dire need of a paint job. Bathroom nicely remodeled. Main complaints are that the noise from people using the stairs is loud, and that it sounded like a herd of elephants were in the room above me. Also,... more
