Never again!
By corky, 07/04/09
Booking problems in the beginning in which dates were reset for the day that we booked through hotel-rates.com. H J would not help us with getting the dates changed so we had to pay for an additional day and arrive a day earlier than planned. Upon arrival the pool was green and was still green the day we left. Bed linens were stained and had burn holes in them. The whole experience was very poor and we will not return to this hotel.
 
 
 
 
 
great for six flags!
By ec, 09/27/08
I liked how close we were to six flags and the "On the Border" restraunt located next to the hotel. The room had a balcony over looking the pool (which was very nice) and the rooms were renovated. Reading the other reviews, I've noticed that this hotel must of been older but they have put in new sinks and showers. We did have a bug in the bathroom, but our puppy who we brought along with us ate it. This hotel isnt amazing but it worked for what we needed and we enjoyed our two night stay. Also ask for the trolly that will take you to six flags, its free and you dont have to pay for parking! But dont forget to get the trolly pass from the front desk because they wont take you unless you have it.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/13/08
When we arrived we where told our reservervation was for next week, luckly i had a confermation number with dates so they gave us aroom what a mistake it had no tv in the room at all so they gave us a credit of 10.00, the next day went to the water park got back at 7:00pm no room was cleaned they said we callled them from the water park and said dont clean it, so got the manger involved again they refusded to clean it and asked us to leave the hotel they gave us a refund of some money, watch out for this hotel the trooley service is going to stop service also watch out for very bad deal, this hotel is indepantent owned is not in conjunction with howard johnson so they wont help either.

What a rip off!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/02/08
We made the mistake of booking over the phone. When we arrived we were told our reservation for two rooms wasn't until the next night. We told them we were only there for one night and that we had written down our confirmation as they repeated it to us with the correct date. They said they were sold out and couldn't help us. We informed them that we would not be there the next night we already had other plans on our traveling vacation. We were assured a manager would call us the next day. We received a letter showing us that we had been charged for two rooms for not showing up. After four phone calls from me to them, I still can't get a manager to call us back. This place is horrible and does dirty business. WARNING! Howard Johnson is the worst experience we've ever had!

Not so great!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/20/07
The price was a little high for what we got. The sink took forever to drain and they never fixed it. The toilet backed up twice and the front desk lady was multi-talented. She worked the front desk and fixed toilets! That's my biggest complaint - not enough staff to do the right jobs. The room was ok, but not worth $60, maybe $40. There were no bathrooms in the front lobby, stains on the front lobby chairs, and the elevators were dirty. Even though I had the air on full blast and ear plugs in my ears, I could still hear the highway noise. My niece's socks were black after walking around in the room. I guess they never really clean the carpets.

nice experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/09/06
i had read all the reviews and was a little anxious when i went to stay there . but i was actually surprised by the condition of the hotel its an old property but well kept the breakfast was nice and hearty they had trolley to all the attraction it was a no hassle vacation. the staff was helpful and very informative. during our stay it rained one day and six flags closed early and we were not happy but the manager ( the indian lady) gave us so many options that we could do while being indoors and we ended up going to the wax musemum and its was awesome. while checkingout we wanted to make reservation for my sister for a later date but they were sold out .but the lady at the desk promised us that she'll call if they have an opening and we did get a call and my sister too had a wonderful experience

What gracious service!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/17/06
The staff at HoJo by Six Flags in Arlington, Texas, were all gracious and helpful. Even though the staff was caught shorthanded the night we arrived, they immediately set to work assisting us by setting up a crib and helping us get settled. We were impressed by their kind professionalism, and the location (directly across the street from Six Flags) was great! In addition, having breakfast included in the reasonable rate meant that we could hit the ground running for the park right away. We will definitely stay there again!

They've got the Ranger Ballpark going for them.
By RonaldT, 07/07/06
I liked: The walking distance to see the Texas Rangers, the good breakfast. I disliked: the 1975 room decor, the stained carpets, the bait-and-switch pricing tactics. Watch Out! In 2000 they had $48.00 posted on the electric sign, but had no rooms for that price. This July, 2006 they had $59.95 posted on the electric sign, but had no rooms available for that price. The lowest they offered was $69.00. If you stay here, reserve over the phone or internet to get the correct rate. If you just walk up, you're going to get stiffed.

What a nightmare!!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/25/06
The place was a dump. The halls and rooms were dark. That is probably so people can't tell how dirty it is. My son put brand new socks on after his shower. He walked from the bathroom to the bed and his socks were brown. The beds were hard and you could feel the springs poking you. We paid $90 for two double beds. For that price we could have stayed at the Hampton inn. Needless to say. I will never book a room at a Howard Johnson hotel again. I will make sure anyone I know doesn't either.
