Johnstown Hotels

The hotel is definitely worth it for the cost! It has a clean gym, a fridge/microwave in the room, and the bathroom was clean and the entire hotel was well kept.

The bed was not extremely comfortable.

Staff was very friendly and the helpful. The restaurant has excellent food! Would totally go back there! A great experience!

There was a bad smell when we first walked in the lobby, but it went away later. Also, the bar is right off the lobby and it didn't have a very private feel. There was no music playing either, which takes away from the 'bar feel'.

Great people at the front desk. Very friendly and professional. I love that u get free breakfast, real breakfast not that continental crap.

The room was slightly smaller than I would have liked. It's very compact. But it's nice and clean.

Our primary criteria were low cost and comfortable beds. Based on reviews this hotel was a match. The rate ($85 with breakfast) was great and the beds were indeed comfortable, as I had seen them described on Trip Advisor. Laughably small, thin pillows, though. I am tall with broad shoulders so beds and pillows matter a lot. Staff were all very nice and very helpful.

Breakfast was very limited, but sufficient to get the day going. My major complaint, which has been my complaint for every Super 8 I have stayed in, was the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke, even in our so-called non-smoking room and non-smoking floor hallways (and with many burn marks in our room to refute the N/S designation). Given how many hotels have gone fully non-smoking I suspect Super 8 has become a "go-to" brand for smokers. In any case, we got what we paid for, and what we expected, and it was fine for a quick overnight on a long drive.

The door would not lock, when we left the room. My husband had to lift the door to get it to lock, but when we went back to the room, the door opened without the key. Old and out of date motel with a lot of chaulking used in the bathroom. Air conditioner had a gap above where it was sitting and you could see that weather stripping was used on the gap, but it did not close it completely.

The room was fairly inexpensive.

Rooms smelled like smoke everywhere, even though I had specifically asked for a non-smoking room. The shower ran all night as the water could not be properly shut off. My room had cheesy 70's style paneling on the wall, even though I saw in some other rooms through the window and they were nicer. The desk clerk had given me a line of bull about mine being the room he would choose to live in if he was going to live on premesis, and obvious fabrication just to get me into the worst room. The rug needed vacuuming. I just kept the lights low because I didn't want to see any more.
