The Howard Johnson at Osage Beach has been purchased by new owners and the name has changed to The Relax Inn. The room was fine. Warm and clean. Nothing luxurious, but that was to be unexpected. Conveniently located near the outlet mall. Management was friendly. Continental breakfast was provided in the morning--cereal, coffee, juice, bagels. Overall, a safe and relatively... more

My husband and I needed to get away for a couple of days and we picked this hotel. It was terrible. Housekeeping did not clean under the bed which had crumbs around the edge. There was a dead bug in the bathroom which was never picked up. The standard sizes room that we reserved was not like in the picture... more

We took my daughter and grandson to the Ozarks for her birthday. Wow, did I pick the wrong hotel. The room smelled awful when we walked in, the toilet clogged up with the first use, a man came to fix it right away . Two uses later it backed up again all over the floor. I demanded a different room.... more

My family of four enjoyed the clean, affordable room. Wireless internet access was available at no extra charge and worked flawlessly. We all used the pool with no problems during our stay.

When I was checking in I told the lady at the counter that I stopped here only because it says they have an indoor pool and hot tub. She said they are both in working order. I said I hope so because my kids would kill me if they couldn't swim and my wife and I could sit in the... more

Our stay at the Howard Johson's Express was great! I loved how clean our room was. There was no dust in the corners or grime behind the bathroom door. The carpets were very clean. We were traveling with our 3 small children so our room was a little cramped but that would have been the case just about anywhere. I... more
