Howard Johnson Inn Cedar Rapids

Small rooms and the smallest bathrooms I have ever seen. Horrible odor in the hallways. My bedspread had cigarette burns on it and I was in a non smoking room. Do not waste your money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The front office staff was really helpful. The actual motel and breakfast is basic but clean and comfortable.

Don't know how they can call that room a "non-smoking" room. The smell was HORRENDOUS! There was a motorcycle ralley in town the same evening so no additional rooms were available. Opened the window and turned on the exhaust fan and then left for several hours to try and air it the room. Didn't help much. Woke up in the morning with a headache form […] the smell. When I mentioned it at check-out, they told me they had just converted that room to a non-smoking room. Don't think they did anything except put a sign in the room that it was non-smoking. I will NEVER stay at that hotel again nor will I recommend to anyone. Read more

It was casual but it was little smoking. However it was great for our use.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was not very expensive, and convenient for the night. The hotel itself is rather run down, and the beadspreads were worn and stained. The service is great and friendly. Hard to get in and out of the hotel since it is behind a Mcdonalds, and nestled between other hotels which have direct street access.

Loved the refridge and microwave in the room. Staff was very friendly. Lack of sufficient sound-proofing in the walls and in the door made it a bit noisy, but I can sleep through just about anything. Fine accomodations for the lower price. The continental breakfast was very good and eating area was nice and clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was okay as a room to stay overnight.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have stayed at many Howard Johnson hotels previously and had great experiences. This one, however, was quite different. The staff was friendly, but the "non-smoking room" was saturated with the stench of stale cigarettes and the bedding covered in burns. If there had been other hotel rooms available in the general area, I would have stayed elsewhere. […] I wasn't expecting to be staying in a residential motel, either. Read more

Horrible, disgusting dump!!! Service sucked, employees were rude and very unprofessional in both manner and appearance. Just take my word and skip this dump pay the extra money and get a room thats been updated this century!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Walked it the room and noticed the plaster on the ceiling was falling off. The hallways smell like cigarettes and fried chicken. There was a LOUD party next across the hall that didn't end till 3 in the morning and the people upstairs must have been doing jumping jacks all night cause the stomping never quit. The place is old and dilapidated and needs […] remodeled BAD!!!! THE ONLY THING THAT WAS NICE WAS THE SHOWER. Pretty sure that the place is where the party people go to get drunk and tear stuff up. If that's what you are looking for then this is it. If you are looking for a place to sleep and feel comfortable then DO NOT patron this place. Read more

It was like staying in your Grandma's basement -- where all the old linens and junk furniture go! Lots of construction people seem to stay there. They may look a bit 'rough' but their work makes them call it a night early! Nice and quiet. OK for a night -- . Great shower pressure.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The wall units (heater and/or ac) need cleaning. Just blows putrid air back in the room. Perhaps an air filter could be cleaned or replaced? Other than that, the hotel was just as expected. Not fancy. It was clean, although carpets in room were very dirty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Best to stay one night and make sure to buy extra pillow because those old pillows are full smell smoking and very flat.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Shabby but clean. If all you need is a dry place to sleep...

we were fortunate to get a room only 20 miles from our destination ( we booked late anyway) and were pleasantly surprised to be able to change rooms to get 2 double beds instead of 1. all in all, we were very satisfied with our stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was very small. Great location. Breakfast was very poor and ran out of food.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My only problem with this hotel was the smoke. Even in the hallways the smoke smell was terrible. My clothes soaked up the smoke smell. The people were friendly, other than the smoke smell my room was clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Cheap, relatively clean. Understaffed and stocked.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a small hotel and it's budget - you get what you pay for, but my room was comfy and clean. Good location - if you don't mind budget travel it's a nice spot.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was nice buthte beds were uncomfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Yes there were guys hanging out smoking at all the doors but they were very nice and polite. The girls outside were a little noisier. At 2:00am a girl kept knocking my door and trying to put her key in until I woke up and shouted somethin then she left. I wanted something close to the airport and went cheap but I would not stay here again and I'm not […] hard to please. I did not get a lot of sleep and that was the whole reason for the stay.

The only good thing about this hotel was the lady at the front desk was very pleasant. The room was dirty and smelled awful. There were cigarette holes in the bedspread. The hotel is located in a crummy area. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I would absolutely reccomend this to all my friends, it was a nice hotel, and the staff were friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although this hotel was located near many restautants and close to highway, it was not a very comforting night's sleep. The mattress was not comfortable at all. There were stains on the comforter. When we called the front desk to get more toliet paper we were told that we could come down and get it. There was also alot of yelling and noise from either […] inside or outside. Read more

Well, besides people hanging out in the parking lot making me not feel very safe to be there, I requested a downstairs room because I am disabled and was told ok, but sure enough, not available upon arrival. No elevator. Then, no towels where replaced after specifically leaving the dirty ones on the floors in order to get them replaced. No replenishment […] of shampoo or soap. No continental buffet left at 8am, just crumbs and 1 dried hard boiled egg. Very disappointing, but not suprised. Howard Johnsons are typically poor quality motels, but I had no choice do to a convention in town. Read more

Comforter for the bed was stained, blanket beneath comforter had holes in it. Tiles in the bathroom were loose. Complimentary breakfast was small and limited. Picked a non-smoking room, but the whole entire level we were on reeked of cigarette smoke.

Hotel was not well maintained. We arrived to find out that the phone lines were not working, no way to contact the hotel to inform them of my late check in.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff went the extra mile to ensure that we had a comfortable stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a little awkward when we got to our room because the previous guest had not actually checked out. The desk clerk handled it as best she could and ended up giving us two separate rooms (3 adults traveling together, had requested room with 2 beds), and charged us for only the room we had booked. Overall, it wasn't a bad stay just awkward at the […] beginning. Mistakes happen but my daughter said she would never stay there again while for the price, I would give them another chance.

The place is freshly painted, carpeted and generally renewed. Good breakfast is included. There is a fitness center and a conference room. Not only is there an internet terminal, there is free wifi in the facility. I would suggest it to anyone who is looking for lodging in the Cedar Rapids area!
