There are 2 Howard Johnsons in Florence, SC., this refers to the one at exit 157 on Rt 95. The room was clean, comfortable and up to date. The staff were excellent. I have traveled often and stayed in rooms 1/2 as nice and paid twice as much. On our way out there were a few other doors open for... More

Here I am on a long over do vacation. I decided to take a road trip from New York to Fort Lauderdale. I guess the old days of childhood memories going from interesting place to place and staying at the venerable Howard Johnsons is completely gone forever. This motel was a discraceful mess and should not be serving the public.... More

The room and bathroom were clean and adequate. The hotel was nothing special but we experienced a clean place to lay our heads for a night. As advertised the breakfast was minimal but enough to get you started in the morning. The desk clerk was friendly during both check in and check out. The hotel was a good alternative to... More

Not sure, but I think this inn was recently renovated. Check in was quick and friendly. Had a king non-smoking room that was furnished nicer than I expected. Nice TV, two easy chairs that were actually comfortable. Bed was comfortable, pillows were a little flatter than I prefer though. Micro and fridge. Room was clean and comfortable. Didn't try the...

i arrived late evening on a Sunday night. I'd previously checked into a nearby hotel and found the experience dreadful. Upon checking out, I called the Howard Johnson just down the street. They welcomed me warmly and graciously. The lobby is extremely nice and the desk staff was great. My room was nice, also. Yes, they are doing renovations on... More

I'm pretty sure the room I stayed in was previously a crime scene. I swear I am still feeling itchy after being in the room for only 15 minutes ..( yes, we left. We would rather continue driving after being in the car for 9-10 hours than stay in that dump). The pillow had mold and "hair dye" on it,... More

My nephew and I stayed here overnight on our way home to Miami. I reserved a non-smoking room and was told upon arrival that none were available. I reluctantly accepted a smoking room. When we walked into the room, the cigarette stench was nearly unbearable. We stayed, however, hoping that our noses would get accustomed to the smell. The room... More

The rooms were nasty, the carpet smelled like it never been shampooed. The characters walking around the parking lot made them feel unsafe. I asked to be moved inside and it wasn't any better, I had to clorox everything!! The staff was nice, but that was it! Breakfast was decent.

Stayed here last night with my dogs. Thumbs up because they accepted larger breeds. Mattress was comfortable. Room was spacious. Tub had a big crack on sill. Continental breakfast - take a pass and go across street to Waffle House.

This hotel was just fine for the price. (<$70) The pool was nice. There was a HUGE 1 1/2" spider in our room, that I had to smash, but that added to our excitement for the evening, lol. Something like that can happen anywhere. It's only 1 1/2 hours from the beach, so it was a nice stopping place before... More
