We requested adjoining rooms for my family. One room had dirty window sills and a stain on the bed skirt that looked like human fluid and the other room had what appeared to be blood and or body fluids on the boxspring cover and I killed a roach in the bathroom and took it to the desk. They did attempt to refund my stay but after processing I only received a refund for 1 room and a $25 credit one the second. I will not stay here again . SS from Ohio.

My only complaint about this property is the walls dividing the rooms must be paper thin, every night I either heard the TV as if it were in my room or the alarm noise set for the middle of the night. If there is a next time I would request a room with no one adjacent !

Room was gross. Floor was so dirty my white socks were black and the room was so humid that the carpet was spongy. The staff was rude. Air conditioner died and I had to move hotels because no one was there to figure it out and the staff acted incredibly rude and inconvenienced when I asked to refund my last two nights so I could find another hotel. Room had dust bunnies hanging from the ceiling. Crumbs in the floor and an empty m and m wrapper by the nightstand. The room was barely cleaned. Would not recommend.

My room was clean, but the one Mattress was completely unusable with big grooves in it where people had been sleeping for probably 100 years. The bathtub did not drain. There was dog poop all over the grounds surrounding the hotel that nobody had picked up. It would be a lot smarter for them to put up some poop stations for people who are unprepared and don’t bring a bag to clean up. The location is excellent and a close proximity to a lot of shopping and dining. My room had so much air freshener in it. It was almost intolerable when I first arrived. The breakfast was very good and the server was wonderful.

The property is very unkept, trash cans overflowing, floors not swept, windows and doors very dirty, stains on carpets, while the room was pretty clean the main areas were not. The pool had no towels, the lounge was closed for the \"holiday\" July 3rd, which the lounge was part of our reason for booking here! Its an ok place to lay your head, but its definitely not kept up with pride like in the pictures!

Very clean and comfortable, the only issue was the tub drain. You had to stand in 6 inches of dirty water to shower and it might be the water from someone else in your party because it took hours to drain. At home we have a $1.00 tool that removes excess buildup that they should have cleaners use.

I will probably not use Expedia again. It was too clumsy to use and I didn’t get the rooms I thought I had booked. Then the hotel can’t help you with anything because you booked through a 3rd party. And there’s no way to reach a person at Expedia.
The hotel was just ok. My room had clearly been smoked in but it was manageable and I didn’t have a choice in the moment.
The shower faucet was broken but I got it to work so was ok. Everything else in the bathroom was perfectly acceptable.
I could not get the tv to work.
The public area carpets need replacing but was fine.
The morning coffee was cold and not good. That and breakfast was “free” but these type of hotels usually can do that ok.
The staff was perfectly helpful and got us checked in/out w/o issues and did what they could given my circumstances.

Called at 10 pm to tell them I would be arriving late, after midnight. They told me that they do not have a room for me. I told them I have a booking and they said it didn’t matter and that they’re all booked up. So they left me stranded and had to book a hotel for double the price on a Saturday night. However, they still charged me for my booking. Complete and utter headache and an unhelpful front desk.

At check-in we only had two towels. The pool was out of towels. I had to ask multiple times before we were able to get some several hours later. We spent our whole first day just using wet towels. We also had to use our towels to sop up water from the bathroom that flooded every time you took a shower. The tv didn’t work. The lights behind the headboard didn’t work. The ironing board was broken and had to be propped between the bed and wall to use. I brought my concerns to the front desk. She said the general manager would be in shortly. She mentioned they were fully booked and we couldn’t move rooms (we didn’t want to anyway as we were rooming next to family) I told her we would be fine and I’d settle for a few drinks tickets for the bar. No one from the hotel ever got in contact with me in an attempt to either fix our room or offer any sort of compensation otherwise. The hotel is dingy and outdated which we assumed given the price, but our room was horrible and I’m very disappointed that no one bothered to return my messages and offer compensation if any sort.

This is a great hotel for the price. It's a little out of date in some areas and needs some attention in others but the hotel itself is clean. This would be a great hotel if you were traveling with several people as there's a ton of common areas to sign and hang out. We arrived late so not able to comment on the bar area. The breakfast was enough to get us by for a couple hours but it wasn't anything great - yet the value was good for the room. Would definitely stay here again. No complaints.

We recently stayed at the Howard Johnson in Lima, and while our stay was not bad, I’m not sure we if would stay here again or if we'd try somewhere else.

There were definitely positives. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and one of the biggest highlights was how incredibly quiet the hotel was. It’s an older, solidly built property, and once our door was closed, we could barely hear anything outside-very appreciated by this light sleeper. I also liked the large lighted bathroom mirror and the generous counter space. The pool and play areas looked great for families with kids. We appreciated the Pizza Lounge being available for a drink or snack, and that breakfast was available.

The main issue for us was cleanliness and upkeep. Behind the mattress (on the boxspring) and on the floor behind the bed, we found dried Zyn packets, dirt, and hair, making it clear that area was not being cleaned thoroughly. The carpeting in the room also felt damp, not sure where that was coming from, but it was noticeable (we were on ground floor). The hallway carpeting could use deep cleaning or replacement due to staining, and the parking lot and sidewalks around the building had quite a few weeds that hurt the overall appearance.

Overall, the hotel has some strong positives, especially the quiet rooms and friendly staff, but it could benefit from more attention to cleanliness and maintenance.

Outlets were sparking when you plugged things in. Light kept going out in desk. Staff needs to better control unruly children destroying property in the game area. Wedding party was out of control. One guy was drunk and passed out, members from party put him on luggage rack and wheeled him around, neither staff member even cared to address these issues. Stay here a few times a year and this is by far the worst stay ever. Seems it’s getting to be a free for all to do whatever you want. For the price patrons pay, we shouldn’t have to deal with these issues. Gaming room is from 10am-10pm and they allow it to start way before time waking first floor up and letting them play after the 10pm as well. There is no supervision in pool area, children run wild. They even swim before and after 9 pm. What’s the point of having rules and set hours if it’s not enforced. Don’t tell me to get a different room on higher floor, that’s not the point. Breakfast was a joke. We ended up going out to eat instead. Very disappointed with this stay. I will reconsider staying elsewhere.

This is a convenient location for not only the Lima, OH area but also for those looking to do something at Ohio Northern University (ONU) in Ada, OH some 15 miles away. ONU has its own inn but it gets full and even when it isn't it can be expensive at times as the Inn is the only place in town. The Howard Johnson's is a great nearby alternative. The Howard Johnson's has a great enclosed entertainment area with a pool but also a pool table that can be used by guests for $1.25 a game; a air hockey table at $1 a game and ping pong for free It also has playground sets for toddlers in another area. Near various restaurants as it dues not have its own restaurant. Although it has its own great hot breakfast. Unfortunately, the last day we were there happened to be the first time after staying there several times that they had less than good food. It still wasn't terrible. A bonus is that breakfast is served until 10 AM every morning. It is a older hotel so it has issues. Even my TV was a pain to use so it isn't perfect. Overall a worthwhile stay.

It will be our last stay there though. This is not an indictment of the hotel. We utilized this HoJo's several times when we visited my son during his time at ONU. However, his time there has come to an end as he graduated last weekend. I will kind of miss the place. I will certainly miss ONU.

The rooms are clean and well maintained. Some of the common areas (hallways, stairwells) are a little run down. There are amenities like game areas and things that are nice, but if you're there on a weekend large groups tend to take them over.
I do like that there's usually hot coffee available in the lobby. The hotel is surrounded by franchise restaurants so lots of dining choices available.
The pizza bar is good and breakfast is not bad either.
My team enjoys staying here when we are in town for work

I believe all rooms booked through Hotels.com are first floor only. Staff was excellent. We needed to change room because we had a very squeaky bed. Im not one of those who complains so i thought we could deal with it, but we had no sleep first night. Front desk was willing to change our room to another 1st floor room right next to one of the entrances to the parking lot. I thought it would be a nuisance but surprisingly it wasnt. Didnt seem like the hotel was very busy the weekend we were there. What i did not mention to the front desk was that our bathroom in the first room was dirty. Toothpaste in the sink hair on the floor and \"those\" hairs in the tub. I was just grateful to get a good nights sleep away from the squeaky bed. Breakfast was good, pool and sauna were a plus. But just be sure you inspect your room upon arrival for those booking through hotels.com
