Our room and hallway smelled like old ashes, as if there had been a fire inside. The carpet was wet by the outside wall. Some of the other guests appear to be living there. One room had a lawnmower & other household items on the porch! Cigarette butts overflowed ashtrays in pool area. A/C didn't work. We looked at other... more

Stayed recently at the Howard Johnson in Newark while getting our daughter to school. We were very happy with our stay here. The rooms are much larger than usual, clean, and look relatively new. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is great with a good variety of choices. Free wireless is great! Hard to find for free in hotels... more

My fiance and I were driving to DC from NYC and just got too tired to drive all the way down. It was late at night, we had a morning appointment, and we knew we'd only be here to crash for a few hours.. so we decided to get on hotwire and book something cheap. We got this for $46/night.... more

I have never written an online review before, but thought I should as my experience was so much better than some of the other reviews. I always check TripAdvisor before booking a hotel.

Our room was fairly small but nicely furnished and decorated. Clean and seemingly refurbished within the last couple of days but the infrastructure is... more

This was my first time ever staying at a Howard Johnsons, and based on some past reviews, it seemed like the best thing for the price. Hotel is right off the 1st exit of I-95 but theres no signal light off the ramp, and a left turn is difficult. Easy to find. Check in was smooth. As soon as i... more

For $58 a night, its hard to beat. Having said that it was very average. The room was clean, but it had a somewhat stale odor to it. The bathroom was clean, but it was a touch run down. The exhaust fan wasn't working in the bathroom which was probably why the room had a stale odor to it. The... more
