Can’t say enough about this hotel. Great place to spend the night. Convenient to highways. Very clean, comfortable bed, modern nostalgia with a nod to the original Howard Johnson. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. And be sure and try the diner across the street.

This hotel offers the bare minimum. The rooms are dated, dark to hide the dirt and with no amenities. They don’t have rollaway beds if you are traveling with children. They don’t have extra pillows if you need them. The air conditioning can malfunction. It was just very poor for the price of over $200 a night in an area that has nothing to offer.

We were checking in very early in the morning after an entire day of traveling and it took 20 minutes before somebody showed up to get us to our room. We thought we would end up having to sleep on the couch in the lobby.
