Reasons for this rating: Stained love seat and ottoman; found 2 hair in bathroom (toilet and inside a towel); bathroom tub clogged; signs of mold in bathroom; spider and spider web on lamp; hand print on bathroom mirror. The biggest problem was not all the above mentioned issues, but the fact that this hotel never offered any form of apology.... More

Howard Johnson's would be ashame to have their name associated with this hotel. The Shower drain was clogged and management stated the service tech would not be in that day. The carpets in the hallway as well as the rooms were dirty, The elevator dirty, the smell in the hallway unclean, The door locks were ALL broken, you didn't need... More

Stayed at this location for three nights. The hotel easy to find when driving from NYC, you just keep on driving straight from the Lincoln Tunnel. I had ready earlier what to expect, as the only reason I book this hotel was the price - 32 USD for for two double beds. The check in was quickly done by the... More

Recently stayed at this hotel due to the freak storm in NNJ. Booked a double room wit 2 double beds. They claim the rooms have been renovated but both beds were absolutely the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on, you literally rolled to the center of the bed. I gather they neglected to replace the beds during the "renovations".... More

This was a horrible hotel. I was disgusted from the time I pulled in the lot (at 60 mph since they are practically on the side of a freeway.) The front desk was rude and unhelpful, the key to my door didn't work and I had to go back to the front desk and they taught me how to "jiggle... More

First room had wet plaster on the wall my the sliding glass door, a filthy upholstered chair in the middle of the room, dirty floor and bathroom. Called front desk, they sent up a teen-aged boy whp offered us another... More

Guy at the front desk don't speak English (neither does my mom but she doesn't work RECepTION!) Smells like cat urine as soon as you walk in. I'm on the fourth floor, as soon as you step off the elevator, there is a large trash can and two towels catching water from the roof that is about to bust open.... More

We had a two-day trip to NYC and booked this one for $80+. If you have more than 3 family companions, don't book this one. Because you have to pay at least extra $10/person for bus to NYC. With room rates plus transit fees, you can get a much better room in the hotels at Queens if you just want... More
