Traveled to Wilmington for the weekend with elderly, handicapped mom. We like motels with outward facing doors; easier access for disabled. Needed an accessible room, as she does not walk easily. Called ahead, was told bathroom had shower. We found that indeed, there was a shower head, but it was in the tub! Had a second room booked for additional... more

This Howard Johnson has taken a turn for the worst. The carpet was so dirty, not only were our feet black, the carpet actually felt sticky. The front office told us the carpet was cleaned a few weeks ago and it was only sand. I think not....! They were not pleased that we had even mentioned a problem. Although we... more

This little spot was very nice. Not only did they let us check in early but they did everything they could to make our stay more comfortable. We had two rooms, the rooms did not have a refrig or microwave. A few hours after checking in they brought us a refrig and microwave. We did not request it but they... more

NEVER NEVER NEVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!! I booked my stay on the Howard Johnson website about two weeks before my stay. When I arrived, the hotel clerk said he could not find the reservation. I gave him the printout with the confirmation number and payment information, and he took it as he rolled his eyes. He said he still... more

Super-friendly desk clerk couldn't make up for the fact that this is an older motel, and my room had been smoked in before. A former smoker, my nose is more sensitive than most. One can't take a former smoking room & turn it into a non-smoking room simply by using a lot of air freshener. It was clean - if... more

I note that the previous reviews were from 2005 and prior. Our experience was much better: the on-duty manager gave us a substantially better rate than we had booked online, the room was clean and well eqipped, the complimentary breakfast was entirely adequate, and the location was very convenient. more

This place is an extreme rip off. We paid way too much for what we got. Our room was moldy and cabinets were falling off the hinges or the fake wood was cracked. The bathtub had mold in it and when i woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom a cockroach ran across the floor.... more

This place needs major renovations and did not meet our expectations of a Howard Johnson franchise. The carpet was badly stained, the toilet seat was badly stained, the room smelled, wall paper peeling. The washcloths were suppose to be white but were grey and the towles were a tad bigger than a handtowel and thin. The owner/manager was rude to... more

It was very musty, damaged walls and the toilet seat had excrement on it. It made my wife ill. They gave us ourmoney back and we drove two hours back to our house. We... more
