My room at this motel was a very pleasant surprise. I had stayed here once before, a few years ago, and was disappointed; but because of its convenient location decided to stay at this Howard Johnson's again. Glad I did! Perhaps I was lucky (I was in Room #108), but the room was nearly perfect. The king-size bed was very comfortable; the furnishings were simple but tasteful; the room was clean and well equipped (good square table with two chairs, good wi-fi, hair dryer, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board, quiet heater/AC unit, in-room safe, good shower head, etc.). The only problems were very minor: sink faucet was a little stiff to operate, towels could have been somewhat softer, clock-radio alarm had not been turned off (I should have checked it so it wouldn't awaken me unexpectedly), TV controls were confusing (the man at the front desk willingly helped us with this) and the channel number for CNN news was not listed (it was #34). A simple but nice breakfast was included; although the coffee was weak to my taste, a fresh pot of stronger coffee was willingly prepared at my request. The late check-out time (11 AM) was most convenient. All in all it was an excellent stay, and very good value for money.
