ok , comfortable, and in a reasonable area

The Howard Johnson Express is ok for a weekend trip not for longer than that. The bathrooms were clean but the breakfast food could have been better and the presentation of it. Housekeepers did come and clean the rooms on a regular basis. The outside of the hotel needs a change. Outside appearence does matter.

Not a Family Hotel

This hotel is not in a good neighborhood. It was very evident that it was not for family use. Found another hotel.

I promise not to go there again!

It was awful I was scared to wear my jewelry outside period. I laid my childs bracelet on the bed house keeping came thru and apparently took it to laundry and it was never returned to me my room was half cleaned. My stay there was a total several day nite mare I was happy as could be when check-out time came, If I could've left that ghetto fuction and wouldn't have been charged to my credit card I would have checked right back out. Huh the room smelled awful, good thing I brought my own air freshner. the smell of smoke was embedded in the walls as well as the curtains.

Good value for the price

The Howard Johnson at 600 New York Ave NE was a nice moderate rate hotel. The room was clean and well kept. If there is a downside it was that there was no shuttle service to the nearest Metro Station. Clients who don't come by car are at a disadvantage. The walk from the Florida Ave Metro station isn't too far for most people but for a family with young children or the elderly it can be somewhat daunting. The first portion is up a fairly steep hill and there is no side walk over the last section. Also, it is important to walk on the left side of the street going to and from the hotel, because there is no crosswalk on New York Ave after Florida Ave and the traffic is very heavy. Other than how to get to the hotel if you're not in a car, everything else was very nice.

Dining tip: Not Applicable

There are a Wendy's and MacDonalds about a half a miles walk from the hotel. They don't have spectacular cusine but it's fairly cheap. The free continental breakfast is a time and money saver, too bad that they don't serve lunch and dinner as well.

в целом все на уровне, не понравилось

в целом все на уровне, не понравилось то, что пешим путешественникам там практически делать нечего.
