• Comfortable, convenient, rooms well appointed.
• The attached restaurant - shabby.

“It had been many years since I stayed at a Howard Johnson, and was positively surprised at the standard of accommodation. It had everything that I needed for an overnight stay, including close by low price gas stations which I needed to fill up my rental car before turning it in - just 2 miles from the airport.”

• I liked everything about it. Friendly attached and the pool was big bonus.
• I have nothing negative to say.

“We stayed in various hotels on our trip and this Howard Johnson's rated high in our opinion. Beds were great quality - nice pillows, nice mattresses, good mattress pads, nice bedding, everything was clean, lots of room in the room to get around and lay our bags. We were very pleased with everything and it was an added bonus to have friendly attached. The pool was fantastic also. Easy access to wherever we wanted to go. Great place for families.”

• Been there before. Always nice.
• Room conditioner tricky to figure out.

“Convenient location to highway, to the mall and to the airport. Would recommend it. Nice pool and exercise room was small but nice. Friendly's next door for family or the hotel restaurant is very good. Vanessi's I think.”

• I liked that it wasn't right next to the airport.
• The beds in the room were too small, somewhat shabby.

“The hotel was in a quiet location but the beds were too small to accommodate myself and my spouse in one bed. I think they were double beds, not even queen size, which I thought was standard. Friendly's was a good place for breakfast and has an entrance from the hotel.”

• The staff was so attentive to our needs. The girls at the front desk were excellent!
• The sliding patio doors lock automatically when closed. We got locked out.

“We were traveling with my elderly in-laws. My mother-in-law has Alzheimers. Upon arriving the ladies at the front desk made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to arrange a wheelchair and easy access to a room on the first floor. From beginning to end the front of the house ladies went above and beyond their duties. I really would love to thank them again.”

• Easy, relaxed, good and friendly staff.
• No nightstand on one side and bed nearly against the wall/no table in room.

“Good serviceable hotel. Busy traffic area. Good restaurant on premises. Room was adequate but lacked a nightstand on one side of the bed. With bed nearly against the wall. Quite unpleasant for the person on that side. Generally clean and friendly. Would recommend.”

• New and clean.
• No complaints.

“Nice new hotel. Clean, nice exercise room and pool. Don't eat at Verrilos, which is attached to the hotel, it's a dump. The Friendly next door isn't the best either. For breakfast turn left as you leave the parking lot and go to the Denny's at the end of Riverside Road on Brighton avenue. Brighton avenue is a good way to get into town.”

• Price.
• Very noisy, dirty room, rude desk help, rude waitress in restaurant.

“Broken bed, dirty room, ants, children playing basket ball in halls all night, pool so full we could not enjoy it, treated rudely at front desk and in the restaurant. We will stay at other Howard Johnson's, but not this one ever again.”

• The rooms were larger than expected.
• Across from adult entertainment venue.

“The hotel is conveniently located off exit 8 on the Maine Turnpike (now exit 48) and has a very helpful staff. The rooms were roomy for this star level. The area is convenient to many stores, although it is not an attractive area. There is an adult entertainment complex across the street, although we did not notice much activity there. The value was excellent, and since we previously lived in the area, a touristy location was not as important as space and value.”

• Truly an amazing operation...top notch all the way around. We were treated with the utmost respect and courtesy. Quality at its best!
• Nothing!

“Courtesy and quality were evident from the beginning with the friendly welcome at check-in. The cleanliness of the entire site and extras in the room (free water, snacks, premier room additions) made for a memorable stay. Truly it was the most delightful stop on our trip.”
