  Overall a good hotel,liked the location and close to L train.Front desk was courteous. Now the bad, the hotel was still getting renovated and they started work early in morning when I trying to sleep in on my vacation. I GOT BED MITES, I started to scratch 3 days into my trip didn't thing nothing of it til my friend noticed my arm had all the little blisters on my left side . Call Howard Johnson about and they told to go to doctor.The my doctor confirmed that they were mites. Howard Johnson has been keeping in contact and updating me. I would probably stay here again but bring my own sheets or sleeping bag.

  The hotel was old and the room looked old and dirty. The mattress was very uncomfortable. The springs could be felt. Also, the box spring was very dirty. The sheets were old and the top sheet had a hole and partly unstiched. The toilet had a leak at the back every time it was flushed. The paint was coming off the sink side towards the shower. The entire hotel could certainly use a complete remodeling. The hotel restaurant was okay and the breakfast and the service was good.

  Get there early to get a parking spot, but not too early because they do not check people in before the scheduled check-in time. No exceptions. There are 70 rooms and 40 parking spots. The hotel is easy to find off of the interstate, but it's hard to get back on the interstate. Also, bring your own pillow, unless you prefer lumpy, hard pillows.

  The staff at this Howard Johnson were great! They were very nice and friendly. The hotel felt very safe. You had to have a key to even get into the building. Their was a security guard at night and the parking lot was gated and had cameras.The rooms were clean and nice. We had a problem with our shower working at first, but the staff just put us in a diffierent room and it was no problem. The location is great! We were really close to lots of restaurants and a bus to downtown went right behind the building. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I WORK IN THE MEDICAL CENTER IN HOUSTON,TX AND REFER PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO LOCAL HOTELS HERE I HAVE TAKEN HOJO OFF MY PREFERRED LIST OF HOTELS IN THE HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTER AREA! WHEN WE DROVE UP TO HOJO I SAID THIS MUST BE A MISTAKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HOJO IN THAT CONDITION IN MY LIFE! tHE MANAGER/OWNER CANCELLED OUR RESERVATION HOWEVER NOT BEFORE WE MADE A PHONE CALL TO ORBIT. THE PICTURES ONLINE NEED TO BE UPDATED OR TAKEN OFF ITS A LIE!!!WE LOOKED @ A ROOM IT WAS MUSTY AND HAD AN AWFUL SMELL AS YOU ENTERED THE HALL WAY AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE $* FOR THOSE ROOMS THATS RIDICULIOUS AND A RIP OFF!!!!I WOULD HAVE RATHER STAYED IN A MOTEL 6 OR SUPER 8 WHICH LOOK BETTER THAN THAT HOJO! WE CHOSE THAT LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE CONVENIENT LOCATION TO EVERYTHING DOWNTOWN AND IT WAS CLOSE TO WHERE THE COLOR PURPLE WAS PLAYING! SO AFTER ALL
