Howard Johnson Inn 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

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...

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

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.

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.

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

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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.

It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel, the lady behind the desk was just wonderful, so helpful and very pleasant to talk to.The location was wonderful, it had several restaurants around it. The buffett breakfast I was told was super, fresh waffles etc... served from 7 to 10... so very convenient. Would stay again.

very good. one of the best hotels we have been too.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

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

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!

The hotel manager was amazingly friendly,concerned about our comfort and happiness. Outstanding in our hotel stay experience. Continental breakfast was a surprise, good quality and freshness.

Hotel manager was very accomodating. We got there early and had a wedding to go to at 3:30. We were able to check in at 11 am. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful with all our requests. The only thing that needs improving is the plumbing. The toilet didn't flush very well.

You get what you pay for. Towels were not clean, everything else serviceable enough.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were in town for a funeral and only staying for two nights. The hotel staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good (make your own waffles), plus a selection of cereals, breads and fruit... fresh and tasty. The treadmill (one) was not operational and we didn't check out the pool or sauna but it looked ok. In light of the […] treadmill not working I took a run outdoors which was right along the highway to downtown which is lovely. We didn't experience any issues with traffic noise from the nearby highway, this was a plus considering how close it was. I would stay here again and would recommend to others going to Vernon...great for the price. Read more

When I got there was the door did not lock at ALL. The fellow at the desk said he would fix it tomorrow and just to “lift up” on the door when we needed to close it and sort of move it around until it locked… Well I couldn’t physically do that! Fortunately one person I was staying had his drill and tools with him.He fixed the door and adjusted the lock […] and bracket. He did not get a thank you for doing this and he had no choice to do it at the moment because he did not feel comfortable letting me stay in a room where the door would not lock. Next, I went to remove the blankets from the bed it had 4 different kinds of bugs in the bed. They were unbelievably repulsive!! When I went to lift the mattress I found out why they were there. It looked like it was never cleaned under and had plenty of crumbs and food pieces to feed all the bugs I found in the bedThe worst part was when I got up in the middle of the night and this huge disgusting bug that looked like a massive bedbug was on the pillow next to me. Also I left many notes begging the maid to please not put the bug infested blankets back on the bed as I brought my own, and what does she do? Puts them back on and gives me a smug look when I see her. Also -The dishes were also unwashed and filthy and stuck hidden away in the oven. -a so called just newly installed tile came off the underside of the cupboard when I closed the fridge which is 1/4 foot away and I tripped over it and cut my foot. -many others!

I have stayed at many places in Vernon, and this place is good for a quick visit with the basics. They have a indoor pool and hot tub, and also have a continental breakfast, including a new waffle maker..I would stay here again, and will in the future.

Excellent value for money. Room spacious and nicely furnished - only one thing missing - nowhere to hang clothes - very pleased, with service desk very friendly

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything worked, it was clean, pleasant, and relatively quiet, and close to shopping and eateries.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The name "Inn" is somewhat pretentious for this recently "renovated" older motel on the main drag in Vernon. We booked a room with a single king bed and were surprised with quite small room with 2 queens. There would not have been enough width for a king anyway. The room was clean and reasonably furnished but we had some difficulty finding any garment […] hanging space. We eventually located some hotel style hangers in one of the kitchen cabinets but there was no space set aside for their use nor were there any hooks of any type apart from the back of the bathroom door to be found. We employed the second bed as our clothes rack for the duration of our stay. Can't imagine how a group of four with ski clothing would manage as there was barely enough space for our overnight bags without the use of the second bed. The well equipped kitchen was new with a full size stove and fridge/freezer (rather noisy in the confined space as well as making the room a little too warm for our tastes), matched with a table that would seat six which explained the lack of closet and luggage space. As far a we were concerned this was a waste as our plans did not include a dinner party. The bathroom was small and had very little space for toiletries (top of the toilet tank was the largest available area). The towel rack was above the toilet with the obvious risk of wet towels if the lid was up ..... Towels were plentiful but without a decent sized bath towel. The brighter (new compact fluorescent) lights illuminated a shoddy paint job from the recent renovation with old wall plugs had not been removed and many areas where the old colour showed through the new paint. Even the end caps on the new (curved) shower curtain rail rail were hanging loose. Outside the bathroom there were several patches of the mushroom wall paint on the white ceiling. The bathroom mirror was evidently original as the marks of the old clips had never been cleaned off and the pencil marks for the new clips were unsullie Read more

The room was clean and comfortable but definitely needed updating. We could hear noise from the other rooms and from outside. The remote control for the tv did not work properly. But the front desk service was good and over all I can't complain about the price.

Room was basic, but clean. Staff were very friendly. Good value.

I would never stay or recommend this hotel to anyone ever again. The manager was very rude and the office had a very foul smell. They were doing renovations so there was junk lyeing everywhere. After I had asked the night manager if I could have an hour late check out due to the course I was taking she said it was fine. When I went to check out the […] manager tried to charge me for an extra day and said that late check out was not allowed and it did not matter what anyone else had told me. Need less to say I refused to pay the amount and he told me to never stay there again. Read more
