Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very worn and tired. The shower had black mold in the grout and caulk. One sinks water was yellow. Doorknob and latches were so smeared looking we used Kleenex to operate. Do not recommend.

This Howard Johnson was fantastic! The pool, while not heated, was delightful and very clean. The staff was wonderful and very friendly every time we had to interact with them. But what I liked best was the diner on the property, literally share the parking lot. The location is also directly across the street from a really cute shopping area that had great book stores and other cool shops. Also super close to the aquarium! 10 out of 10 would stay again!

This is a convenient stop to visit Aquarium and Olde Mistic Village. The room was fine and had some touches other more expensive hotels on our road trip did not have. It’s more of a travel lodge/motel but was good for our needs. Staff was helpful and obliging.

The room had no towels or soap in the bathroom. Lighting was horrible. No creamer for the "free coffee" or sweetener and we were there for 3 days. Never emptied the trash. We stayed there 3 years ago and had a wonderful time. Will never stay there again.

The room was disgustingly dirty. It must have been a former smoking room with a bad smell. Just pay a few extra bucks and stay away from this place.

The hallway looked like a psych ward and the carpets all around are filthy and have a mildew smell! A couple of cockroaches were seen and flies already inside the room! The front desk was friendly but I noticed when other customers were trying to check-in they disappeared and had to call to get his attention. Towels were missing and it’s hard to get them if you need them! I will not recommend this hotel and they need major overhaul since the surrounding area “Mystic Village” and other attractions are walking distance it’s a shame that this hotel is filthy and uncared for!
