I enjoyed the restaurant and the bar. It was very convenient. The hotel is in a great location directly on the boardwalk.

HoJo was luckily able to "find" another room. They still advertise indoor and outdoor pools, but the outdoor pool was no longer there! The indoor pool area was not very enticing; cloudy, greenish water, towels strewn all over. Ice machine broke down, hot tub wasn't working. And don't look for a guest laundry; they haven't got one! This was surprising. Had to go several blocks away to a public laundromat. Still, the staff was pleasant, rooms were clean, and a good time was had by all.[collapse]Submitted by Chris D., Virginia, on August 8, 2009.

I talked to the customer service representative and indicated this is a inconviences to me because I am asthimanic and should have been some incentatives to the customer as far as a voucher for free meal or discount on the next visit. I will never stay at another Howard Johnson due to the way, I was treated.[collapse]Submitted by Dana W., Maryland, on August 5, 2009.
