Howard Johnson Inn Vernon - Vernon

I stayed at this motel in April,2012 and I was satisfied ,however, the last stay in June ,2012 with my experience there I will not be returning to this motel.We had to pay a $200.00 deposit on the room which was not expected we didn't have to pay a deposit in April,2012 in addition we didn't realize the check in time was 3 in the afternoon in April,2012 […] we checked in later in the a.m. and it was no big deal. Plus the room we got was not cleaned well i.e., shower curtain was dirty and the carpet smelt like a kitty litter box. In addition there was a language barrier between customer and office staff which made communication difficult. The next am @ 9:30 a.m. approx, we checked out and I was relieved to get back home this ordeal made our trip unpleasant to say the least. Read more

This was a nice hotel, far better than I expected considering the negativity of the reviews. It's everything you expect for the price, and they actually have a really nice pool if you bother to go - one of the cleanest and well-maintained motel pools I've ever seen. In terms of class you're not getting much, but you're also not paying much, so you don't […] feel cheated. My friend who promised they would "never stay in a 2-star hotel" was actually fine with it. The breakfast was moderate, but even if you're not keen on hotel food, there are plenty of restaurants within eyesight, and plenty more within walking distance. It sits near the downtown, so was always easy to navigate to and from during my stay there. feel free to talk with the staff and the people you're staying with and it'll be even more enjoyable. Everyone was friendly and cheerful, and as helpful as you can ever imagine. Read more

Room was clean, had hardwood floor, but little to no noise from people in room above mine. Turn the "Cold" water nob to bet "Hot" water and visa-versa. Air conditioner not very effective and quite noisy.

Really attentive management. Good breakfast. Quiet room with everything you could need including a great bed. We were hauling a trailer that was 40 feet long including the truck and they even had a great convenient place to park it. Would go back there whenever we are back in town.

The gentleman working at the counter was exceptionally friendly, definitely a highlight of our stay! We also really enjoyed the hot tub and pool, very spacious!

The place is quite old but the room I had has been recently refurbished. The bathroom needs new tiles, but that is really a cosmetic issue. The breakfast was fine.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was sparse but clean and quiet, the mattress was firm and the price was reasonable. One thing different was that the floors were laminate, not carpeted. I don't think anyone was in the room above me but I wonder, had there been, how noisy would their footsteps have been? Not much in the amenity dept; the shampoo came in packets like ketchup […] in a take-out order of fries and the bars of soap were tiny. Nonetheless, all I wanted was a comfortable bed in a quiet room for a decent price and I got it. The only thing that wasn't great was that they didn't start serving the free, continental breakfast until 7:30 a.m. which is much too late for people on business who have to get up and going early.

The manager was greta in helping us out. He even brought an extra TV to our room so we could watch the Vancouver hockey game. Many thanks for making it a great stay

Management insisted on having a 200 dollar damage deposit authorized on my credit card.. Yes it is refundable but the authorization often stays on for months. Just try getting a credit card error corrected. Will probably not use Howard Johnson chain unless they are the only rooms in town...

hotel was great booking by hotels.com was flawed everything else was way above expectations.nick c.

This is a basic motel.. bed linen clean, some fixtures not particularly good..e.g. the pop-up part of the sink didn't work and we question the toilet paper holder being on the opposite side of the room from the toilet? The staff is always very hospitable and friendly and were able to acommodate my coeliac condition by providing fruit for breakfast.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Well it could of been cleaner, smelled like old socks, so the room needed a real cleaning, also when you have the bathroom fan on and there is a smoker outside, it sucks in the smoke. This suggests that the weather stripping is poor, also it could of been coming in from the through the wall old A/C. Room heats up fast. When some one upstairs has a shower […] you hear the water running very very loudly. I wouldn't say its because of the price. Kelowna's Howard Johnson is the same price and no issues. and it has a lot bigger Breakfast room. Read more

after driving hours in the fog and rain and being late for our event the manager said he would not honour the rate I got and that it was a mistake on the website. We had to phone hotels.com and both talk before he would honour the rate I had paid for. It was at least half hour in the lobby before we were allowed to have our room. I told him if the info […] was wrong that was between him and hotel.com. He insisted he could not give me the room for that price. It was a hassle after we had arrived late and were all tired that I would not like to have again! Read more

For the price this hotel is good value. The manager was very friendly and very willing to please. The manager was also very approachable if any issue arose. The recent renovation of this facility has resulted in the hot and cold taps being installed in reverse.

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the actual amount of time we spent in the room it was perfect. Bed was comfortable. The pool and Hot tub was well appreciated. Great place for just passing through or for a short stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

bed was not comfy, shower nozzle hanging out of wall and burn marks on tub.

Our experience at the H.J. Inn, Vernon, BC, was very good. The room was clean with a firm mattress for a good night's sleep. The morning continental breakfast was tasty with good choices. The hosts and staff were very cordial.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The most obvious thing you notice is that some things need to be upgraded. The service of the staff and attractive price certainly make up for this shortcoming. Excellent, helpful staff.

The rooms need to be updated. I felt depressed staying there.

The breakfast was something to be desired, as we could not even get a cup of coffee that morning.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was a short but good stay except for continual rain.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Continental breakfast was quite decent. Some of the rooms have been largely updated with laminate flooring, small frig and m/w and one cup coffeemaker. Mattress was very good quality. Room was tastefully decorated and the majority of the furniture was near new. The TV, however, was very OLD, as were the two easy chairs. A second room we saw had no updating […] and there was no sign of any in the works. Owners would very much improve the overall hotel quality if they completed the updating sooner rather than later.

The Hotel is badly in need of an overhaul or maybe just a cleaning and painting all furniture is old an in poor condition. bathroom fixtures need to be upgraded will not recomend this hotel to anyone. No good for the price charged.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is very old and in need of upgrades to rooms. Would not stay there again not good for the price. The price should be about 35.00 a night then people would not expect anything great.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was smallish but had all we needed. Some updates to the room were laminate floors, new granite vanity top and a flat screen tv. Bed was a comfy kingsize. The only downside was the bathroom its self it was very tight. The water pressure was great though. One night one of the neighbours walking by was loud but it was only one night. We had our […] dogs going to a dog show and the manager was nice about the dogs. Did not use the pool of hot tub, looks like this area will be under renos soon. The contental breakfast was good. Overal good experience Read more

This HoJo is a convenient place to stay in the City of Vernon, B.C., Canada. It is on the main strip entering or leaving town and there are many good restraunts close by. The morning complimentary breakfast is very nice. You will find outstanding staff who will do almost anything for you. They are quite knowledgable about the area. The facilities are […] clean and safe and there is a nice pool and hot tub to enjoy. I would recommend this motel to anyone. Read more

Stayed here for 2 nights over high ski season (Jan 30/31). For a cheap stay it is great. Clean rooms, no real complaints, hot tub was a nice bonus. We did not use the pool but it looked fine.

We arrived post marathon and had a nice swim with our kids and hot tub. Excellent continental breakfast with fresh waffles pleased the kids then they opened the pool early for us to have a swim before we left. Very hospitable!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was under construction directly below our room. Sawing and harmering was from 7a.m. till 4p.m. the three days we stayed at the HJ. Beds were rock hard and the stay which was suppose to be a well deserved holiday was a nightmare. Called Howard Johnson customer service and have not got any response to my complant from main office or the manager […] at the hotel we stayed at. I never read anything of online from hotels.com or the Howard Johnson that their hotel was under construction. I would never go back to that hotel chain again they have no costumer service. shelley Read more
