We booked this for our last night in town. The room was basic and clean.The breakfast was sparse, but it is across the street from a strip mall with Star Bucks, CVS, some fast food and Whole Foods. There is also a gas station on the corner so filling up the rental the next morning was easy. They also have... More

The hotel shuttle to and from the airport,Sea World and MCRD was great! We picked Howard Johnson due to the location, shuttle service and the breakfast. We were not disappointed!

We booked through Hotwire, and didn't know the hotel until we confirmed. We paid $155 for 2 nights. Price was good. Hotel was clean. There was no hot water the first morning. The second morning we got a later start and there was water. Obviously, the more people using the water, the less hot there is. We requested that a... More

The building it self is old and the furniture is showing it's age but it appears to be clean and maintained. Staff was friendly and they do offer a great shuttle service to old town, sea world and airport. If you are planning to hang around at the hotel, this isn't the place for you. This is not a destination... More
