The room smelled, was stuffy and the noisy "air-conditioning" didn't help. Furniture is obviously old and dirty. TV remote didn't work. Breakfast is until 9 am, but when we came down at 8:30, there was nothing left for breakfast except for a bunch of stale bagels (and where're the promised danish and muffins??). There was the cleaning lady (cleaning a... more

Checked in very late (midnight), and when we got to the room it was extremely hot. Turning on the air-conditioning did little to help, actually made it hotter. When we woke in the morning, in a complete sweat, the TV did not work. As I was showering, the maid service decided to barge right in, disregarding the do not disturb... more

I had a last minute trip to Norwalk and no other hotel was available. I knew that "HoJo's" were "no frills", but I did not know that they could be so seedy and awful. I should have known as soon as I drove in.... it was scary. I went to the front office, which was a 70's throw back lobby... more

An absolute, complete DUMP. Smells... dirty... peeling wallpaper... dirty carpet... moldy bathroom. The words I want to use to describe this hotel and it's staff are not allowed here. DO NOT STAY HERE. 100 dollars to stay in the equivalent of a crack house. I should have slept in my car. more

Worst hotel experience ever from the time I checked in until the time I checked out! The woman who checked me in had no personality - never smiled! Then I get to my room and not only was it smelly and disgusting, it did not have a frig and microwave;which is the type of room I booked! When I called... more

We were driving up the East Coast and had just cleared NY City and wanted a place to crash for the night. Unfortunately, we were not far enough from NYC to find normal hotel prices, so we decided to take a risk on a Howard Johnson. What a mistake, there were so many issues, but chief amongst them were the... more

My room was so nasty, that I left and slept at a friends house. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the mold in the bathroom was black. The sheets looked 10 years old!!! The worst experience I have ever had. more

I was so shocked at this hotel! I live with a family and know what a great town it is and how nice everything is, and I stayed here when my boyfriend came over and wish we had stayed somewhere else! The first room we had was a smoking room and STUNK and I waited while my boyfriend went to... more

There weren't cockroaches crawling on me, BUT smells very moldy, smoky even the non smoking rooms (which were formerly smoking). Home office room sometimes contain mini fridge and microwave, sometimes not...how that is a home office is beyond me. Housekeeping begins at 7 am even on Sunday and its almost as though they bang the carts into the walls on... more
