If this was a continental breakfast there was 2 cereals, coffee, juice, bagels w cr ch only no butter that’s all nothing else My husband went to get coffee @ 9:15 the guy said he dumped it out there was no more?? It’s still breakfast? The room was not worth the price, I booked this room in April & it was the same price w Expedia on the day we arrived, it should have been cheaper in April booking it earlier! The room I’d say was worth $129/night. The only good part it was close to things that’s all

We booked this property since it was close to Hershey Park and the online images looked nice but they are definitely old photos. We waited an hour and a half to check in because there was literally no one working in the entire hotel. Howard Johnson was no help when I called them. A staff member finally pulled up at 3pm to check us in. Also the breakfast was not on the go breakfast it was oatmeal packets, Raisin Bran, and Frosted Flakes. Will never return!

I would have thought being part of the Wyndham family would have elevated the Howard Johnson property. While staff was very nice, both at the front desk and restaurant, the property itself needs help. Our non-smoking room had an unpleasant odor upon entrance and the hallway smelled of smoke. The lack or building security was shocking- anyone could access the hotel as doors did include the same technology as entering your room (I.e. using room card). The “business center” was a poorly painted room that didn’t even include a chair. Do better HoJo!

The room was small, clean and neat. It had a dorm room refrigerator and microwave, no coffee pot. The room could use some upgrades. The front office is cloed until 3 P. M. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was apples, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, coffee and tea.

We stayed for one night and overall everything was good. We got a room towards the front main road and it can be loud at times in the night. Also wish they can add more to the light breakfast don’t mind pay a little extra for that.
