Its great for access to transit and the neighbourhood is great. Fairly bare bones, but has all the basic hotel amenities. I didn’t make it to the continental breakfast, but it looked great. The staff is fantastic and the reason I’m taking the time to review (usually too lazy :p). The front desk was incredibly accommodating with last minute chaos on my part. Cleaning staff also so friendly. Thank you!

I arrived close to midnight to find that the building was in an awkward corner, looking nothing like the picture! My lift had to park on a turning lane. In the advertisement, we were told there was accessibility....there wasn't a ramp to get into the building or an elevator. I had 2 seniors over 80, who have difficulty walking....this put undue stress on me. I had to ask for a ground floor room, which I was told I was to pay extra! I went to the manager and the fee was waivered. I was told it was the fault of Expedia and not Howard Johnson for the advertisement online. I feel it is the fault of the establishment to keep current and honest of their services, and to notify Expedia. Expedia needs to investigate the properties it advertises. The breakfast was very basic. Overall I am very disappointed. Not going back if you paid me. It ruined my weekend. UPDATE: I was told by the Expedia agent I was CHARGED EXTRA FOR THE ROOM....THE MANAGER DID NOT REMOVE IT AS PROMISED!

Pienselo antes de quedarse

No fue mejor de lo que esperaba, pero hotel requiere mucho trabajo. Las instalaciones son feas, la alfombra parece que no se ha aspirado en meses y cambiado en muchísimos años. La limpieza de la habitación si estuvo bastante bien, pero era muy complicado cerrar la puerta y son sumamente pequeñas, no me imagino haberme quedado con otra persona. Muy céntrica su ubicación y fácil acceso a transporte. Sólo hay que tener cuidado con algunas personas del area que no parecen muy sanas. El personal, especialmente el señor de la mañana muy atento. Pero aún no veo que han regresado el depósito que me pidieron al inicio. No lo recomendaría ni me volvería a quedar a menos que hagan serias renovaciones.

Lo salva la ubicación

El hotel tiene una buena ubicación, con k facilidad te movilizas a los puntos importantes de la ciudad, la zona donde se ubica no es tan agradable, la habitación muy reducida, y se escucha el ruido de los tranvías, la atención muy bien, amables, no hubo problema por eso, quizá por ser hotel viejo necesite una buena remodelación, ventanas Anto ruido.

Vores værelse med badeværelse var nyrenoveret og pænt og rent, så hvis det kun var vores værelse vi skulle bedømme, ville vi give en høj karakter, men indgangsparti, forhal/reception og morgenmadsrestauranten så forfærdeligt ud, bl.a. var en af stolene i morgenmadsrestauranten møgbeskidt og med store huller, så skumgummiet hang ud af, vinduerne så ud som om, de ikke havde været pudset de sidste par år, et snavset håndklæde lå under en ventilator (eller hvad det nu var) i vindueskarmen, og der lå flere døde insekter i samme vindueskarm, som var helt skæv. Et af bordene vippede så det var svært at have mad og drikke stående på det. Heldigvis var der engangsservice og man ristede selv sine brød - og smør og syltetøj var heldigvis også i små portionspakker - ellers tror jeg ikke, at vi ville have spist der, for der så godt nok ikke særligt lækkert ud. Til gengæld var beliggenheden god med to sporvogne lige udenfor døren.
