Staff were friendly room was clean . It’s affordable and convenient location we stayed there for a concert at pachenga arena and we were able to walk so that was very convenient . I also would say don’t set your expectations too high it’s a budget friendly option. I will say that there was a homeless person sleeping in the lobby lounge barefoot while guest were at the breakfast kinda crazy that was allowed to happen . Other than that everything was good .

This hotel is conveniently near Sea World and was reasonably priced, however, the AC did not work, the windows only opened part way. It was the worst night of sleep in my life. Nothing could be done about it as it was sat night and the hotel was full. Next morning (sunday) we were moved to a different room with a working AC, but it was infested with flying ants in the bathroom. The breakfast area was super small, there was a crowd waiting to make waffles/ find a table. This is our second time at a Howard Johnson, and our last. You get what you pay for, I guess.

Frustrating stay

Checked in 10 minutes before the listed check-in time at 3pm. Front desk woman gave me my room, she wasn't friendly, but wasn't rude either. Went to the room, and it was either still occupied or wasn't yet cleaned. Towels everywhere and bed unmade. Went back to the lobby to get a different room. Another guest came back to the lobby for the same reason, her room was also not cleaned before check-in. I was given a room that reeked of cigarettes and cable was not working. Went back to the lobby and got a room that smelled of mildew and cleaning chemicals, but was still better than the cigarettes. We stayed two nights, and on the second day, after returning to our room from a day out, our room key was not working. Had to go back to the lobby to have the keys registered back to our room. The booking website claims buffet breakfast, however, it was Continental with added waffle maker. Hardly a buffet. Would not book again.

To start with, when I opened the room it smelled damp, the air conditioning was old and barely cooled the room even when I put it on maximum, the paint was coming off the bathtub and the worst thing was that the shower never worked so I had to use the cooler to be able to shower. I was really disappointed with the hotel.
