Howard Johnson Inn And Suites-Ashland/Near Kings Dominion - Ashland

I called several times to ask about check-in check-out procedures, and the staff were rude, and unable to answer my questions. Then they asked me to call back in 5 minutes rather than putting me on hold or transferring me to someone who could help. This happened twice with two separate phone calls and two different staff people. The bed was hard and […] uncomfortable, the non-smoking area that we were in smelled like smoke, and the TV looked like it was from 1975. The coffee was very good. Read more

Okay,.. Good thing we had GPS, the location was rather tricky to find. Dad was not the most comfortable pillows included and breakfast was just okay... No fresh fruits like I experienced at other hotels in this class category earlier in the trip.

The hotel was a good value for what I paid. However, there need to be a couple of things improved upon. The safe in the room did not work and the front desk did not know how to open it. Also, my room did not have a do not disturb sign, which I needed.When I inquired at the front desk, they said they would bring one up, but never did. Overall, however, […] the staff was pleasant and the rooms were clean. Read more

This hotel is adjacent to I-95, and it's very loud. Stopped here just to jave a quick sleep on the way back from vacationing in Florida. Hard to sleep over the sound of the freeway.

We were on the highway side of the hotel. It was hard to sleep because of truck noise all night. I had stayed here before but it was on the other side of the hotel, which was much better. They need a sound barrier or something on the highway side.

I should have listened to my gut! I have never stayed at a HOJO before because of its negative reputation. But because of its location to Kings Dominion I decided to be open minded and give it a try. Afterall it looked from the outside to have had a facelift and it had a three rating. Don't be fooled! It was dingy, felt diry, the front desk staff was […] not hospitable, the breakfast bar was skimpy and unappetizing, there were stains on the bed sheets and towels. It was so bad we kept our socks on to walk around and didn't unpack anything from our suitcase! Fortunately we only had to stay for one night. I learned a valuable lesson: "go with what you know" and "you get what you pay for". There were other hotels in the area that if we had not been under pricelock guarantee I would have cancelled and paid more to stay somewhere else. We will never stay at a HOJO again, and if you do after reading this: don't say you weren't warned :) Read more

Room walls were soiled. There was still clothing in the drawer from the prior occupant. A used washcloth hung in the shower from the prior occupant. Front desk help was good. I do wish someone had told us that the whole breakfast area was going to be used as a church on Sunday morning. There were no tables to sit at and eat. There was a mob of people […] in the dining area making it impossible to eat even if you could get to the food. Not happy at all with the breakfast.. Read more

After a long day at the amusement park, we checked-in to this hotel. We had to change rooms 2 times. The final room was considered the "Home Office". The first room's mattress was soiled.... From top to bottom. The bathroom also had mold under the ledge in the shower! The 2nd room did as well. The 3rd and final room was ok. I paid $100 a room for this […] hotel and was very concerned about the cleanliness!! Very disappointed! Read more

Run down and beds extremely uncomfortable. Staff was pleasant but does that make up for the general unclean feeling of the hotel? In my opinion no. Would not stay at again.

Clean and comfortable rooms for the price. Breakfast was a bit lackluster but not bad.

just average

Right on top of the interstate. Truck traffic kept us awake most of the night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Cleanliness of lobby & common areas was very good. Only downside was the lack of variety, choices, and overall freshness of the breakfast. We choose lodging with breakfast but this time chose to eat out. Not up to an average continental Breakfast.

My husband and I have stayed here several times now, we enjoy our time here!! The location is quite and tucked away from the world. The hotel is clean, staff is always friendly and accommodating to our needs. We will continue to come back!!

The staff was so friendly and the hotel so clean. I am always a little scared when I stay at a lower end hotel but this was great for the price.

Small room and not a very good breakfast. I was traveling home for Thanksgiving and had my dogs it said pet friendly but did not know I was going to get charged an additional $20 fee. Would have preferred to pay that with my reservation than at midnight after a full day of work and 6 hrs in a car.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was horrible. We did not spend the night because of the condition of the room. I will never use this hotel or any Howard Johnson Inn.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place is a dump...and the people at the desk were very unfriendly!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First we walk into an unclean bathroom then in the middle of the night the a/c stops working and we wake up at 5am sweating. Finally we can't deal with the heat any longer and decide to get up go down stairs and say something. The guy finally came out of the back room and gave us a new room two doors down, so we packed up all of our stuff and went to […] the new room. It seemed like just about everything in that room was cracked or broken but the a/c worked so we delt with it and stayed. Even though we were able to get the room at a small discount there is NO way we would stay at that location again! Read more

It was a ok experience. The tube didnt lokk that clean and the beds wasnt that comfotable. It was ok just for one knight. I wouldnt recomended to stay there more then a day if your planing a long vacation.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room, bath and lobby were all very clean. Morning breakfast was basic but palatable. Desk staff was pleasant. Not the newest hotel, but the room and bath were roomy and comfortable. Given the close location to Randolph Macon College and King's Dominion, as well as all the food places, this is a great value in a great location. Nicer than some others […] nearby that I have stayed in previously. Read more

Everything was great except, the hotel was not air-conditioned in any of the common areas (hallways, etc.). Our room took 3 hours to cool down when we arrived. We arrived at midnight, so it was very hard to get to sleep. Maybe they should take the time to turn on the air when it's that hot and humid and they are expecting a guest.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Clean quite hotel staff friendly. Location hard to find Breakfast area too small for amount of guests.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Aside from being able to check in earlier than normal (because I had a reservation) there wasn't really much positive to talk about. The toilet bowl was loose, they still have CRT TV's, there is no pool, Continental breakfast options were somewhat limited. the cleanliness of the rooms , however were very adequate. Overall 3 out of 5 stars.

On the second night of our stay, we got upstairs neighbors. From about 10pm until well after midnight, these neighbors ran around their room like a herd of cattle. A complaint was made with the hotel staff which solved nothing. We then went up personally and talked to the neighbors which seemed to help some but did not help completely. The walls and […] floors in this hotel are like paper, you can hear everything through them. Read more

Dont bother setting an alarm clock the early morning rush Hour Noise from I-95 will wake you up. Value room and close to King's Dominion.

The envelope that they put your key in was use and old. Very noisy. Too close to truck stop. Place smelled like curry. Couldn't check in until three o'clock. Manager was always on phone. Will never stay there again. Very disappointed. Bed was hard.

The Howard Johnson in Ashland, VA was one of the cheaper hotels in the area, and it showed. It is located right next to the highway and in the vicinity of some gas stations and a very dilapidated looking Chinese buffet restaurant. The facilites are not great at all, but I wouldn't say they were horrible either. The room smelled like cigarettes even […] though we had a non-smoking room. It is also very easy to hear outside noises throughout the hotel while inside the room. The "fitness center" is a tiny room that could not fit a queen size bed that had a broken bicycle machine, broken elliptical machine, and broken treadmill. There were some good points, however. Free breakfast included waffles, small pastries, and mini bagels. The waffle machine was great and a nice surprise. We were allowed to bring our two dogs, however there is a fee for each pet and the fee is charged per day of stay. Most of the staff were helpful and courteous, although the manager is somewhat curt. All in all, the only reason to stay here is the price and the proximity to Kings Dominion and Richmond, VA. Read more
