“This Howard Johnson prioritizes the fundamentals: clean rooms and helpful staff, notably accommodating with pet accommodations. Its location, while on a busy street, ironically adds a sense of security. While the building shows its age in areas like the bathrooms and hallways, the value proposition remains strong for budget-conscious travelers.”
