Howard Johnson Hotel – Norwich

Bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs. ‘Hotel’ replied saying they had an independent inspection done and found no sign of bed bugs. I asked for a copy and they wouldnt provide. Do an online search and you will find that this has happened numerous times at this place. And with the same GM. If you still plan on staying here, I would suggest factoring into the daily cost what it would cost to prep and exterminate your home once you get back home.

Filthy lobby bathrooms with broken stalls and a paper towel holder that’s falling off the wall. Entire downstairs near the Denny’s in the hotel reeks of stale smoke. I would rather sleep in my car.

This hotel is disgusting.
The kid working the front desk was totally baked, bouncing a large beachball around, when I walked into the lobby.
We checked in and took the rickety and nasty elevator to our room on the 3^rd floor. The entire place smells like dank Marlboro reds and pot. The smell of this HoJo’s seriously knocks your socks off, and your socks probably smell better.
The Denny’s attached to the hotel is a mildewy and slippery dive; the cook came out looking wildeyed and disheveled, with long stringy hair and beard, and no headgear. The meatballs and sauce I ordered wrecked my gut, and blew me out.
Additionally, the manager allowed a couple of the local potheads in to loiter around and use the nasty bathrooms.
This place is a filthy dump.
Stay somewhere else, or drive through and out of Norwich.
I’m not kidding.
DO NOT STAY HERE.

Can I have a negative star, rude rude rude staff, shower head fell on me while taking a shower, no top to the toilet tank and it rained in on our mirror light fixture in the bathroom. It was also raining in to the lobby. This place needs to be condemned. Gross and FILTHY. I would suggest the Super 8 down the road. About ½ the price and the people that run the place are just so nice. Clean rooms too.

I used to work in this motel many years ago, it was very well maintained then! I went there this week, it was disgusting! Only one bathroom stall in the ladies room was open, the other 2 had signs that they were out of order! My boyfriend used the men’s room and while he was standing there the bathroom door opened by itself! The whole place is dirty and in disrepair! Howard Johnson’s should be ashamed of themselves! Denny’s is the attached restaurant, the menus were dirty and the entire place was ill kept! Both places should be shut down, cleaned and repaired!

We stayed one night in early September, 2012. We arrived by motorcycle, and needed a place to stay in town. The price was very reasonable, and the hotel was quiet. I’ve had to stay in so many places that were FAR worse than this one, so I’m a bit charitable. It’s not like Norwich has all the major chains to choose from.

Do NOT… I repeat… DO NOT STAY HERE! I can’t begin to tell you how much it was a mistake staying here. I was in the area on business last week and found myself checking in about 9pm at night. The front desk got me in very quickly without any mishaps from my reservation. I walked into my first floor room and was completely surprised at how dirty it looked. It’s been decades since anything has been done to it. The bathroom was missing toilet paper. The bathtub and wall were in dire need of bleach. The toilet seat was ready to fall off just by looking at it. So, with that being said I called the front desk and asked to be moved to the second floor. Thinking/​praying this just maybe a fluke.
NOPE! I was very wrong. Since my reservation was already paid for I decided to take it and pray I won’t have to take medication after sleeping in their bed. So, what I suggest to you is locate the Super 8 north of «Hojo’s». You will meet fantastic front desk staff with rooms that are ready for the President Of The United States… if he was just stopping by.
Hojo’s??? Really? Who thought that jem up?
