I'll NEVER Stay There Again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/25/08
The employees were very friendly and helpful; however, it did not make up for the show box size room at the high price we had. I will not be recommending Howard Johnson Hotels to friends and associates. After our first morning of trying out the “Continental Breakfast” we didn’t go back. 4 breakfast cereal packages, a couple pieces of fruit and there were a few packaged Danish with coffee, milk and 2 juices do not make a breakfast. Maybe I was spoiled because 2 nights before I stayed in a hotel in the Washington DC area. I paid $50 dollars per night less for a suite with a complimentary hot breakfast. The bed was comfortable and I didn’t hear my neighbors so I slept well. The bathroom was clean; I only had to catch and remove one cricket. The water pressure in the shower was weak; however, it was functional. Since we were on the first floor it did make it convenient for unloading and loading our vehicle. My AARP membership got me a $36 discount on the week night and if I had received the same consideration for Friday and Saturday nights, I probably wouldn’t be writing this review.
I’m one that does not like to make absolute statements, like “I will never stay in a Howard Johnson Hotel again, but with all the choices around it is very unlikely that they will see me again.
