As a senior citizen, I grew up hearing the name Howard Johnson and it's reputation for quality. I, unfortunately didn't find this to be true. The beds were comfy and the room was clean, but practically everything in the room didn't work, i.e. the t.v. the iron, the A/C, the phone, the coffee pot, sometimes no hot water. The fridge and microwave did work, tho. I found the staff to be friendly but a bit lazy. The office was closed alot and it was like pulling teeth to get service. However, I was allowed to leave my luggage in the lobby until my next hotel was ready for check in.
