Want to return!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at this hotel from 5/22-5/25/2012. The staff was very nice and room service was awesome. The room smelled a little bad so I had to purchase Febreeze to make it smell better. I loved the balcony cause at night my husband and I were able to sit outside and chat. It was about 6miles from the Jersey Shore and everything was close-by. I loved the ihop that was right next to the hotel (24 hours). The hotel also offers passes to a nearby gym. The pool was awesome as well - it was a little yellowish looking but it was alright.

Reasonable Place

We went there for a weekend getaway. Very reasonable & we all had a good time. The family had fun in the indoor pool & was very pleased with the driving ease to getting to the seaside heights boardwalk.

Family Visit

When we arrived the staff was very courteous and informative . The room was clean and comfortable.The location was good for visiting our family. There were plenty of good restaurants and things to do there. The Jug Handle turns were a surprise and a challange for those not use to them, especially at night using a GPS. The Continental Breakfast had a good selection and was open from 6am to 9am.

Excellent

We were here to see our son home from Iraq. He was due in on Monday so we arrived on Sunday evening. Unfortunately, he was stuck in Kuwait. So it went to Tuesday, then Wednesday, finally going to Germany. Then to Atlanta, then to airport in Newark on Friday. The hotel staff were exceptionally gracious and accommodating during our time there. Especially when we extended our stay two extra days. The desk personal asked everyday if we had heard anything about his arrival and were geniunely interested. The housekeeping department were polite and very maticulous about the room. There is a small continental breakfast available but is/was sufficient for us. There are several full restaurant available nearby, a mall within a few miles. For those who like the night life, Friday nights they have Karaoke and on Saturday they have live bands. Get there early because we watched it fill up. All in all our stay here was great. Thanks again to the staff at Howard Johnsons.

Would not recommend

While the lobby was redone and very nice the rest of the hotel was old and dated. Requested and received a room that was marked non-smoking but the room obviously was not and smelled like an ash tray. Bathroom was old and had no shower curtain. While location was great for local sporting event would not recommend.
