Howard Johnson North Bay - North Bay

What sets this hotel apart from others in North Bay is the exceptionally friendly staff. They are very nice people who make sure the customer walks out happier than he walked in. At least, this was true in my case. The remaining aspects of the hotel are standard for a 2-3 star place, and priced reasonably. It's decent for an overnight stay.

Very pleasant, most comfortable matress we've slept on since we left San Diego area a month and a half ago. Had a very nice breakfast and free newspaper. The staff was most helpful when we requested information. The room was very clean.

The neighborhood and motel were rundown and scary and the rooms were dark and musty.

I was given keys for the assigned non-smoking room and as soon as I entered the room it was obvious former guests has been smoking. A staff member attempted to explain the smoky air away saying that it was likely coming through a ventilation system and that the air would be ok once the air conditioner was started. I said that was not satisfactory and […] asked for another room. I was shown another "non-smokiing" room after a few minutes. The air conditioner was running in there and at first I did not notice any odor. I accepted the room. Later I noticed there was an odor of smoke in this room too but it was tolerable. The hotel is obviously run down. The radiator and toilet roll holder were starting to fall off the wall. The rubber sink plug was crumbvling around the edges. As far as service, only one tiny bar of soap was in the bathroom and no complimentary shampoo or lotion. We stayed two nights, and on the second day, the shampoo and lotion appeared but no extra soap. The garbage had not been emptied. Disposable drinking cups were made of paper and got soggy fairly quickly. The complimentary breakfast was mediocre and we had to ask for coffee as the urn was empty. I booked HJ because of the name. I will not book there again. Read more

The room was nice except it smelled of cigarette smoke, although there was a sign no smoking. I believe that the carpet is older and the smoke is trapped in the carpet. The mattress was very comfortable, I had the best sleep. For the price the room was great!

If I had known that this hotel was in the downtown core and was a lower end hotel, I would not have booked there. The service was "O.K." but the room was not. One side of the bed appeared to have light stains on the sheet and the pillow cases had hair on them. On a brighter note, the bathroom was clean and somewhat updated.

Comfortable room, great downtown location, friendly front desk. Only downside was the refrigerator door not closing properly, making the freezer defrost on the food I kept in the fridge. Overall, a great overnight stay

was a decent stay for a good price.

Very good stay. My room was a good size, and it was very clean. My wife and I were there only 1 night, but we both agredd that if we return to North Bay, we will stay at this HoJos.

We stayed at the Howard Johnson in North Bay after a Christmas party. We have stayed at this hotel before and find it good value for the money - have stayed in much more 'up scale' places and not had a fridge for example. However this night the room was extremely hot, we could not seem to get the temperature adjusted to cool it off and wound up cooking […] all night! Would still stay there in future though, since this is the only time we have had an issue. Read more

It affordable enough for Northbay. Staff were friendly. Older motel but well maintained enough. Micro and fridge were handy. Walk to restaurants and bars.

I wanted to expolore North Bay Lake Nipissing for family various resorts. This reasonable priced accomodation was perfect for this

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was great! I was especially impressed by the friednliness and the helpfulness of the staff. The room was clean and very comfortable, and QUIET. The only negative I have is that the bathtub rubber mat and plug were so old that they were yellow and dirty looking and I didn't dare touch either. They desperately needed changing. The outside door […] could stand a good washing, inside and out. Besides that, I would definitely stay there again on my next trip! Read more

I is very old looking, my baseboard behind bed coming off. The company should upgrade furniture and bed

I had booked online and asked for a room for 3 people, non-smoking. I was booked for 2 people in a smoking room. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful to get everything the way that I wanted it. (This was not HoJo's fault) As I was turning down the sheets that evening, I noticed that the bottom sheet was stained. I called the front desk for […] a new fitted sheet and a few minutes later I had a flat shet delivered to my room, without an apology for the stained sheet. Read more

Overall, we found this hotel good for our needs for this visit. Our room was missing a door knob on the closet and the bathroom had no exhaust fan. The street noise was irritating at times throughout the night. The staff were very helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For something reasonably priced, this hotel is ok to stay at. The shower ran hot and then freezing cold before you could finish. The noise level of the people on the second floor including balcony area was horrendous, and no hotel staff asked them to be quiet. Otherwise fine

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

older but ok

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Firstly, this is not a hotel, but a motel. Secondly, there is not always someone at the desk. This means that on check out morning we stood outside in -15 weather WAITING for the staff to wake up, come down and unlock the door. Thirdly, we were told that the breakfast was going to be late - not sure how late, just not on time (it was already after the […] time it was supposed to be served when I asked about it). I would not recommend this motel to anyone else nor would I stay there again. We are not fussy people and are generally pleased with where we stay and the services rendered - however, not this time. It was disappointing. Read more

This motel is located in a very convient location. My husband needed an accessible place to recover from knee surgery and he found it very comfortable. The staff were very accomadating and it was a short drive to all the places we needed to go. The beds were firm and there was a microwave, fridge and coffee in the room. We stayed an extra two days because […] the price was right and it helped in his recovery to rest. we will stay at this motel again. Read more
