There was no hot food options, only toaster items
Warren, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Adequate stay

Didn’t expect the outside entry doors which I usually try to avoid when traveling alone. For a smoke free hotel the marijuana smell was overwhelming in the parking lot. Breakfast was extremely minimal. But the desk clerk was very helpful and friendly and the price was right for my bydget.

Highly refreshed with my stay.
William, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No internet access

Worst part about the stay is no access to Internet inside the room. Had to step outside every single time I wanted to send a text, make a phone call, or access my email.
2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the cost. Felt like an $80 stay for $300

It was really over priced. Dated rooms. Bed was broken in center. I wouldn’t expect to pay almost 300 for such a cheap motel experience. Breakfast was like a dollar store. Not worth it.
Sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not the Greatest

Went to Traverse City for a couple of days. Didn’t want to spend a fortune so chose this hotel. It’s not horrible, it’s just REALLY dated. Staff was nice, breakfast is offered, pool is nice, location is ok. Rooms aren’t cleaned which is ok. I’m just tired of paying so much and getting the bare minimum. Not so sure I would recommend. I guess I’d pay more and get a newer hotel. Sorry HoJo

The room was clean and bed was comfortable. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are need a place to stay.
Scott, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Give me back my money Hotels.com!!!

I was not allowed to stay at the hotel. There was a major screw up and Howard Johnson said it was the fault of Hotels.com. It has been a very busy week. I spent 1.5 hours dealing with. Hotels.com trying to resolve the issue on the day of my arrival. Please contact me ASAP If you want my business in the future.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The first room we were in had toilet issues and an extremely loud fan noise in bathroom. It also had a strange odor. The next morning we talked to the desk who moved us to another room which was much better. The bathroom fan was quiet and there was no odor.

Employee who checked us in was very nice and friendly! Bed is very soft too! Shower is a little small but that’s my only complaint if I had to pick something

wonderful stay
Ernesto, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Suited our needs just fine. Beds were comfortable. Jetted tub worked great. Close to everything we visited. Staff were always kind. Breakfast was the perfect grab and go style that we needed. Fireplace in the lobby was cozy with the chilly weather. Would stay here again!
Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, friendly place. Have stayed there before and would definitely stay there again.
john, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast choices are pretty poor and overall while relatively clean the property needs a big update. Looks like a movie set from the '70s
R.A., 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean & comfortable at an excellent rate. Breakfast choices were sparse, though—cereal, toast, and yogurt plus some prepackaged muffins. Nothing hot, no waffle maker, no fruit.
Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Daughters room had bed bugs. I had difficulty with the heating.
