10/10 Exceptional

For what it is an older, Howard Johnson hotel the rooms are nice. There’s a great restaurant and bar in the basement and overall it’s a nice older hotel.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was pleasantly pleased with the cleanliness and the professionalism of staff.
Syrene, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Everything was good but I felt the hotel needed a little up grade.. we stood in a smoke free room but it still smelled like cigarettes.
Tatyana, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Only If You Are Desperate

It’s a terrible little motel. If you are going to a concert and just sleeping there it’s passable. The price is ridiculous. The worst though was the indifferent and borderline rude staff.
Deborah Mack, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Just needed a place to sleep overnight. We weren't expecting the Ritz, but the room was very small, the property very dated. It was clean enough and had an in room microwave and frig but no coffee maker.
Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay with reasonable rates.
neil, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Wouldn’t recommend

This hotel is old and dated. There would be a moldy smell every time the HVAC turned on. Not at all worth the price. The front desk attendant wasn’t helpful when we complained about smell (she cleaned the filters and said problem solved-it didn’t change anything). The only good thing was that it appeared to be decently clean in the room. All furniture is dated including a low def TV. Shower floor looked slightly browned with age. Doors from outside remain unlocked 24 hours.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed for one night and overall everything was good. We got a room towards the front main road and it can be loud at times in the night. Also wish they can add more to the light breakfast don’t mind pay a little extra for that.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable prices, clean rooms.

8/10 Very good

Parking is a little limited but room was great and easy to find.
Jenny, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was scary!

Desolate, dingy, and decrepit. We forfeited our non refundable stay within 15 minutes after checking in. We made the reservation last minute due to a change in road trip plans. We understood that it wasn’t going to be the Four Seasons but figured that it would be rather busy since it was a holiday week and families would be heading to Hershey Park the next day. We pulled up to the parking lot after 11pm and we were the only car in the lot. The outside rooms all looked abandoned and we should have taken that as a sign and left. However we checked in and got assigned a room in the inside building which somehow seemed safer. The room door was so cheap feeling and the locks were jiggly and not secure. I thought I could brave it out but then we noticed the bed felt… not dry. And the furniture was stained, rusty and in disrepair. I contacted hotels.com to see if I could get a refund and they called the front desk on my behalf but said they didn’t answer and suggested I ask the front desk for a refund. Honestly flight or fight kicked in and we just threw our suitcases in the car and got the hell out of there. We went to Tru by Hilton and had a comfortable, clean stay. I wish I took the one star reviews seriously and never booked it. Trust me; stay away.
Alone in the parking lot at 11pm. Where is ANYONE?
Anyone?

Perfect stay

Shari, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would stay here again - I haven't stayed in a "Ho Jo's" since the '70s so it was a bit of a throwback for me - very comfortable bed, everything very clean - I enjoyed the 70s "vintage" decor - it's what I grew up with!
