The room was clean enough, but looked like it wasn't vacuumed. Checked for bed bugs, but didn't find any. The pool looked good. Breakfast had a selection, but nothing was fresh but the coffee. Room was bright...nice corner room...it was quiet except for a few slamming doors downstairs. Shower was hot.. My only complaint was the slight smell (some fabreez... more

I travel a lot. Let me say that first. I stay at resorts and world-class business hotels. So, when my wife and I head off into the hills we often put all that behind us and book a simple place that has amenities we want: pool, wireless, decent room, breakfast. So, when I could grab this place for about $90... more

The location is convenient enough only one mile from Williams College. The room looked shabby. When I first walked in and turned on the light switch at night, nothing came on. I had to stumble into the room and turn on one of the lamps. It turns out the switch is linked to one of the lamps on the table,... more

We ended up staying here because there was no other place available that we could afford. We checked in early afternoon and the place smelled. We opened the windows, put on the fan, and went out for the rest of the day. When we returned hours later, it still smelled bad, but was bearable. Also, the place was filthy -... more

The Howard Johnson staff was very friendly. We were lost on a back country rd, (we actually ended up in NY State), and the gentelman at the desk was able to guide us back on track and get us to the hotel. When we arrived we were a little stressed and the kids were acting up. Check in was a... more

Asked front desk to explain on credit slip why I'm getting a credit. Within 2 minutes the POLICE showed up. I've have stay in this motel many times because... more

We booked the Howard Johnson Hotel since it was a football weekend at WIlliams College and a lot of the hotels were full. It was an ok experience. We stayed in a part of the hotel that has been renovated, and the beds were new. The front desk was extremely cordial and willing to please. He said "Check out the... more

We ended upstairs in the back building. The room is a bit dated, but the mattress was quite good and the pool (away from the main drag) was quite nice. They could step up the continental breakfast a bit, but the HoJo is a good value. more

We are not HJ fans (not that we have stayed in many HJs but we have read many negative reviews over the years that ‘put you off’). However this was the best ‘coupon’ buy in Williamstown at a total cost of $60.30 (at that price you don’t expect too much!). We could have even have got a cheaper room but... more
