Great location on El Cajon Ave., the rooms are shady and in poor condition. I believe it's overpriced as I stayed in Travelodge La Mesa (8 min drive from Howard Johnson) which is far more superior, for the same price! Although if I had to, I wouldn't mind staying at Howard Johnson. If you walk in, you can bargain a... more

This is the place you want to stay if you want to feel nasty, dirty, and like a cheap [--]. The neighborhood is fine. Starbucks down the street and other eateries. I mention Starbuck's because the continential breakfast and coffee was not desirable. First, let's say the night staff is friendly, but the check out clerk was a little cranky.... more

I stayed here for two days after Christmas. On the plus side, the staff were extremely nice, and the rooms featured spacious small refrigerators and new microwaves. The hotel also has free wifi. On the down side, the hotel itself it a bit rundown. The featured continental breakfast was only coffee, cereal, and pastries (the juice machine was not working... more
