Pros (+) The room was a good size and very comfortable. The free breakfast had self cook waffles. I have not stayed in a Howard Johnson's for years because they were small and run down. This Howard John's changed my mind. I loved the free parking and no resort fee's. The TV had plenty of great channels also. I will try some more Howard Johnson's.
Cons (-) Nothing was wrong.

Pros (+) Definitely a good place if you like to walk around a lot, usually from your room to the front desk and back.
Cons (-) First, the room I had checked into wasn't turned down by housekeeping. No big deal, I went to the desk, let them know, told them to inform housekeeping(they were still doing rounds). Came back 30 mins later and no change. Let them know, they put me into a room that already had someone else's luggage in it. Thankfully I didn't walk in on them. Back to the front desk, moved me back to original room....

Pros (+) I loved the decor and colors of the room as well as the large tv.
Cons (-) There were several bugs, including one about the size of a dime. Plus there were stains on the walls, furniture, and carpet. I didn't look like they did a good job cleaning it.
