  • Great staff and affordable hotel.
  • Extra towels would be nice.

“My husband and I were up for the Sight and Sound show. The hotel was very close to the theater. Our stay was very pleasant and appreciated the manager for giving us directions to the different restaurants. The entire stay was friendly and the hotel was clean outside and inside. We look forward to returning to the Hojo for the Christmas show at sight and sound.”

  • Nothing.
  • Every single thing.

“This hotel was the dirtiest hotel we've ever stayed in. We had to clean the bathroom floors before we even went into the bathroom. The toilet wouldn't work so we had to take the lid off the toilet and pull the plunger every single time we went to the restroom. When we called to tell them we were advised that's just how it is and told how we had to continue flushing the toilet that way! Every single time we called the hotel (from the cell phone) they would hang up on us. We had 39 hang ups on us during our stay there! Customer service? What customer service? We called for a Band-Aid, short answered you need to come get it yourself. We called to find out what time their waterpark closed and the girl that answered the phone got snippy with me. I was completely disgusted with this hotel and would never recommend it to anyone! The water park is not worth the $50, it cost to get in. The pool only goes to four feet. Honestly, I have stayed at a lot of hotels and by far, this was the worst. I talked to the manager and he really didn't care at all.”

  • New Wingate by Wyndham Hotel now open.
  • Kids wanted to spend more time at Caribbean Indoor Waterpark!

“We enjoyed our stay at the Howard Johnson Inn Caribbean Indoor Waterpark Resort. The hotel was located in the center of everything we wanted to do in Lancaster. We noticed that the adjacent New Wingate by Wyndham hotel was now open. This looked like a brand new hotel. We did visit their lobby and it was beautiful. The also seem to be doing waterpark packages with the Caribbean Indoor Waterpark. I plan to bring my wife during her birthday in two months. They have jacuzzi rooms with in room demand movies.”

  • The warm Caribbean Indoor Water park adjacent to Wingate by Wyndham.
  • Our stay was short, wished we planned to stay longer.

“We just returned from our stay at the Howard Johnson and the Caribbean Indoor Water park. We loved the water park because while it was snowing outside and freezing the temperature in the park was a comfortable 86 degrees. There is a New Wingate by Wyndham that is being built. Our next trip we will try out this new hotel. It is adjacent to the Caribbean Indoor Water park and behind the New Dunkin Donuts.”

  • Water park.
  • Friendliness.

“Just got back today. The janitors were so friendly they should have been the desk workers at the water park. I guess that means the desk workers should be the janitors? Too bad the desk workers have to speak English. I guess it is the economy, so the hallways and the pool were freezing. The water park was 84 degrees and like heaven on the coldest day of the winter yet. Email and cable rocked.”

  • The kids wish the Water park was open longer.

“The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. The children enjoyed the Caribbean Indoor Water park which was attached to the Howard Johnson Inn. They had a Quiznos Sub, Domino's Pizza, Pho Cafe, and a New Dunkin Donuts. We heard from staff that a New Wingate by Wyndham is opening Spring 2009. I had stayed at a Wingate by Wyndham couple of months ago in New York. They are very nice hotels just like a Courtyard but less expensive. We will definitely be trying out this New Wingate by Wyndham when we return in the Spring 2009.”

“This was our 2nd time staying at the Howard Johnson Inn Caribbean Indoor Waterpark Hotel. Our stay was excellent. The service and the staff was outstanding. The indoor waterpark was nice and warm even though it was raining outside. The new Dunkin Donuts is a nice addition. Also we like the new computer game room that was added. I could now check my email and brows on the internet without having to drag my lap top with me on the trip. There was no charge to use their computers. The breakfast was very nice with a lot of selections. We really did have a nice time. Also noticed behind the Dunkin Donuts that a new Wingate by Wyndham hotel is being built. They are due to be open Spring 2009. I heard from their staff that they would be doing waterpark packages with the Caribbean Indoor Waterpark. We may try it just to see the new place on our next visit to Lancaster.”

We have never been to the Caribbean's and wanted to take the kids to some place like. There was plenty to do in the Lancaster County. We will be back during Christmas break.

  • There was lots of parking by the doors.
  • This hotel had an indoor pool and a for-fee water park. Everything had a heavy chlorine smell.

“While Howard Johnson's must have put money in this property putting the water park in, the chlorine smell was too much and I wondered if they put adequate ventilation in. In fact, even the water in the bathroom in my room smelled. The furniture in my room was much worn with holes in the sofa. The carpet in the halls and the room was dirty. There were splash marks of something on the headboard and the shower curtain and shower area were dirty. I would not stay here again.”

“We stayed at this hotel due to the indoor waterpark and the close location next to the outlet stores. The hotel was nice and clean, but the kids really loved the waterpark. We were surprised to find that there were new Dunkin Donuts that recently opened onsite. My husband and I love Dunkin Donuts coffee and were very pleased to see that as we pulled into the hotel. The hotel was only about a mile away from the outlet stores. Also next to the hotel was a shopping center with a Kmart, Burlington coat factory, off track betting, a staples office supply, and a bank and red lobster. Speaking of food the hotel had a Quiznos Sub, Dominos Pizza, and Pho Vietnamese restaurant on site. We definitely found a very nice hotel that the kids can enjoy and its close to everything. Also the staff was very friendly.”

“We just came back from a visit to the Howard Johnson Caribbean Indoor Waterpark Resort. This hotel was located right on the main street with all the shopping centers. The hotel had a Caribbean Indoor Waterpark inside. We purchased the passes to the park for only $10/person and were able to stay in the park the entire 12 hours. While the wife was off shopping her heart out, me and the kids stayed in the Indoor Waterpark and loved every minute of it. We even ordered our lunch from the 2nd floor. We had the options of Quiznos Sub, Dominos Pizza, or Pho Vietnamese Cafe. The kids ordered the pizza and I ordered the Sub. We definitely will be going back to this hotel in the spring. Very Friendly staff .”

“We were very pleased with this Howard Johnson Inn. The Caribbean Indoor Waterpark that is attached to this hotel was great! The children and we adults had a great time. The hotel was in the middle of the Amish Country and close to the Outlet shopping. They had a Mall next door to them. Talking to their staff it looks like they are opening a New Dunkin Donuts on site. They already have a Quiznos Sub, Dominos Pizza, and Pho Vietnamese Cafe (By the way these guys deliver to the room, we liked that). We will be staying with them in the future and will also tell our friends that we found a nice hotel to do a weekend getaway.”

“We stayed at this Howard Johnson after a long time. We really enjoyed their Caribbean Indoor Waterpark. We booked their Waterpark Package LP1 and received 4 passes to the waterpark. The children had a blast. This is a very nice weekend gateway hotel with this new Indoor Waterpark. We have stayed at Great Wolf, but their prices are also greatly high! The next time I am going to surprise the kids by taking them to Lancaster and staying at this hotel without them knowing that we are going to the Waterpark again. They will definitely be excited and enjoy! Also by the way they had some pretty good friendly staff.”

We arrived late and were unable to buy tickets for the next day. (20.00 Per person all ages). Staff was extremely rude. For the price however, the hard beds and flat pillows were adequate.”

“This was our 2nd stay at this Howard Johnson inn. They now have a new Caribbean indoor water park on site. We got the passes at the hotel front desk. You can walk right into the water park from the hotel hallway. The kids loved it. They had 4 pools, with 2- 30 foot slides that take you outside the park and back into a plunge pool. This was really cool, especially while it was snowing out side. The temperature in the park was about 88 degrees. My type of weather. We definitely will be coming back to this hotel in our future visits to Lancaster, pa.”

“I was disappointed that the water park was not included in my stay. We used the indoor pool but when you got out you had to run to your room. The hallways were freezing; something has to get done here. The rooms were fine. My wife and I could not believe they were going to charge us full price for the water park to watch our children. I would have paid for my children but not for us, so we ended up not going.”

  • Very dated.

“The hotel is in a great location for the outlets and all the local attractions. The hotel is in need of renovations - wallpaper peeling, shower tile in bad shape, furniture somewhat worn. The hotel is undergoing an indoor water park construction in the center of the hotel. A little annoying if you are a late sleeper. Also, the deluxe continental breakfast is a total waste - corn flakes, sugar frosted flakes, and some bagels. The line was ridiculous for this because the breakfast time is so limited - I think 8-9 so you basically get the entire hotel in this one small room. My total bill was $88 for 1 night. I would have been happy around $60 for what I got.”

  • The hotel had everything one could want to a pool to a complete game room and restaurant and it is very close to entertainment dining and shopping.
  • It would be nice if the hotel had an elevator to get to the second floor.

“A very pleasant place to stay. It has a large pool an exercise room a large game room and a restaurant. I would definitely stay there again. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating.”
