Good value but not fancy
The place is a bit worn but the room is clean and functional. Microwave, fridge, coffee maker, iron & board, all in room. Unfortunately no pad of paper and pen on the desk, and no power outlet near the desk. Wifi included free but it's rather slow. The included breakfast is there, but don't expect much. It was rather disappointing, but for a one night stay I didn't mind too much. All in all, it's a reasonable deal for the price.

disappointing overnight stay
the hotel does have signs up, "pardon our appearance" but i was still disappointed. we didn't hear our neighbors talking or their tv but anytime someone turned water on to take a shower, it was like an explosion in our room. the room darkening shades don't adequately cover the window and there are no other curtains. our room was on the ground floor so we could have had conversations with anyone in the parking lot. it lacks privacy. the thin blanket was not enough for sleeping. yes, we could have turned the heat up but since it is dry air heat, it would have become difficult to breath. the sheets did not stay on the bed - at all. our shower dripped from the time we arrived - plink, plink, plink. the room wasn't worth more than $40 and we paid double that. live & learn!

Short walk from hotel
Right across the street is a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donut which is open 24 hours/day. Great ice cream and close by - we loved it!

Never again
I was visiting the area to race at the Trexlertown velodrome. As a bike racer I have stayed in many many "budget" motels and this was by far the worst. Security was non-existent, friends were given my room number by simply asking at the desk. I lost my key and asked for a new one and all they required was my room number. It was not clean, the same empty beer bottle laid by the front door for the entire week of my visit. I witness a teenager attempting to open every door in my hallway and the manager/clerk told me "she was just playing." Never again will I stay at Howard Johnson's.

It was great. The only issue that we incurred was the Pool was extremely SALTY!!!! We didn't quite understand that. Other than that, we enjoyed our hotel.

pictures don't match
The Bathtub had cracks and fiberglass was peeling, I was afraid of slicing my feet open or getting slivers from the fiberglass. The carpet had stains. The minifridge did not even close. It looked like someone used it for a punching bag!!

Very disappointed
Room was much smaller than pictured, ice machines were out of order on the second floor and locked on the first floor so the desk person had to get you ice, bath tub was no secured underneath and it felt like you would break through the bottom of the tub because there was no support, not as clean as expected and every time the AC kicked on it was like an alarm going off---very very disappointed.
