Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's location, especially its proximity to the airport and downtown events. However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the rooms, citing issues like damp carpets and unpleasant odors. Service was also a concern, with reports of unresponsive staff and issues with billing. Overall, while the location is a strong point, the hotel needs significant improvements in cleanliness and service quality.AI-generated from customer reviews

Great value and close to attractions. Friendly staff.
Pros (+) The room was a good size and very comfortable. The free breakfast had self cook waffles. I have not stayed in a Howard Johnson's for years because they were small and run down. This Howard John's changed my mind. I loved the free parking and no resort fee's. The TV had plenty of great channels also. I will try some more Howard Johnson's.
Cons (-) Nothing was wrong.
Pros (+) Closeness to MCRD
Cons (-) Noisy like the walls were thin. Heard people coming and going all hours of the night.
Pros (+) Staff was friendly and VERY helpful.
