Great room for money

- Excellent hotel staff!! - Room was great for the price I paid. - Hotel located close to night life and a variety of restaurants are within 10 minute driving range. - Pool and Spa maintained in superb condition and open late for late swimmers desiring a swim. - Morning breakfast was readily available everyday at 6:30am.

If you pick a smoking room your nostrils will go numb

My family doesnt smoke. We've stayed in Vegas rooms where people have smoked in the past. We thought we were ok with a slight smell. This has never been such an issue in the past. The room wreaked (understatement). The smell penetrated the carpet and my eyes swelled up in tears the minute we walked in and dropped our luggage. My daughter cried and my husband was pissed but tired. We checked in at midnight and there was no other rooms available. We were close to sleeping in the car. Instead we slept with the windows open and sucked it up. Came home 2 days later (stayed elsewhere of course)and all of our luggage still stunk. I don't understand how a room could smell so MUCHHH like a filty ashtray. Much more than a Vegas Casino. Had the smell not been there, the room itself, bed sheets and restroom were very clean and the breakfast was a good continental for the price. There was a fridge and a microwave in our room and a teeny tiny pool in the quad. The neighborhood felt safe and there was a couple of cameras on the roof outside. But the damage was done. We were drunk from the smell. We went to seaworld and this hotel is in downtown. Not too far. 15 minute drive. If we come back to this hotel, which I highly highly doubt (traumitized for life I tell ya), I would make sure to get a non smoking room....period.

Great room for the money

I got in ahead of schedule and they were kind enough to check me in 3 hours early

Good for the money

Only problem was some rooms got flooded but not the one we stayed in. That was not the hotels fault it rained very, very hard that weekend. Also at about 2-3 AM some one was pounding on a near by door for over 1 hour and woke us up. Other than that it was what we expected for the price.

be carefull of the evening clerk "Sergio" very bad mannered old grumpy man

I been going to this Howard Johnson for several years. however after this experience with Sergio, I'll be sure to check in before his swing shift begins. or stay else where. the morning clerk resolved the issue and was very pleasant.
