Does Not Live Up to Howard Johnson Name!

out of 5


Worst hotel we've ever booked thru Travelocity: smelly, in need of serious repairs. Overall, standard of cleanliness falls far too short to bear Howard Johnson name. Recalls the low standard of cleanliness I've experienced in travels thru developing countries. We killed three crickets in our room! Spiderwebs in corners, dust everywhere. Mildewed shower curtain, showerhead sprayed everywhere but on one's body, warped ceiling tiles above, rusted white metal braces securing tiles. Bath tiles with mold and mildew - nasty overall. Our tub did not drain, but was repaired upon request, but they never repaired showerhead. Very kind cleaning staff, but they do very poor-to-mediocre job. Also, the kind, elderly cleaning man has bad habit of knocking while entering guests rooms, when he decides to knock. He did it several times with us -- totally unacceptable hotel employee protocol. And they should shut down their exercise room. Every antiquated piece of equipment in the scary, dungeon-like room is in drastic disrepair -- they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing guest to enter the unsafe room - simply terrible! And hotel is not well secured; very unsafe because all doors are ALWAYS unlocked and accessible to anyone. Overall, not a great deal for the money -- simply not maintained well enough, and should not bear the Howard Johnson name; worst one I've ever stayed in. Please do yourself, your family, a favor and stay elsewhere. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Dirty rundown labyrinth of a hotel - user review

It was OK - user review
No significant problems here. The free wireless Internet was a plus. Major complaint was the shower. The shower head was a small low flow high speed type. And the joystick type control handle was loose, which made it very hard to get the exact temperature desired. Traveler's tip on local attractions...

Not impressed, won’t go back - user review
The only reason I stayed here was because it was part of a package . The Hotel is in dire need of a remodel and an upgrade everything felt shabby and old. When I checked in to my non smoking suite, the sofa bed was opened and disheveled, with the cushions thrown on the floor; the toilet hadn't been ...

Convenient location - user review
This Howard Johnson motel was very close to I 95 and the University of Delaware. The Continental breakfast was generous and included two waffle irons to make your own waffles. Unfortunately, the batter for the waffles was not very good i.e. waffles were a little bland and chewy. There was a nice sel...

Great Hotel Experience - user review
We had a great hotel experience at this hotel. After flying all night, they let us check at 10 a.m. rather than wait until the regular check in time. We had a king suite room which gave us a lot of extra space. The room was not fancy but was very clean and functional. The interior hallways and exter...
