Good

Passable

Liked: Location
Disliked: Worn and run down

Very good

Liked: No complaints, nice quiet, clean room. The breakfast was a nice variety. I would recommend this to hotel.
Disliked: Wasn't as close to the water as we expected.

We really enjoyed the private...

Liked: The pool area and pool itself was great
Disliked: Rooms could use updating

Passable

Liked: Location was good, pool was nice and clean. It was fairly quiet and the bed was comfortable enough.
Disliked: The room could have been cleaner, there was hair in the hair dryer, hair in the shower. The towels had dirty spots. There was no towels by the pool and a couple guests by the pool said there had not been any towels the day before either, so my son walked soaking wet back to the room. Breakfast was disappointing, there was not much to choose from, calling it a deluxe continental was a little generous. For the amount we paid for a Monday night, I was expecting a better experience.

Very good

Liked: Convenient

Good bang for the buck

Liked: The swimming pool is fantastic
Disliked: The breakfast has room for improvement

I would not stay here.

Disliked: I figured that since this was now part of the Wyndam Family that this HO-JO was going to be decent. Our room was stuck in the 70's with a jacuzzi bathtub in the main area of the room. Our room was on the 2nd flood with no elevators. Room had a distinct scent to it (not sure what it was). Upon check in, the clerk was NOT pleasant. Went to our room on the 2nd floor and checked out the room - one of the bathroom samples was used, recapped and placed back on the counter (they provided shampoo, conditioner, soap, gel soap, etc). Had black flies coming up the shower drain and little black bugs running around on the bathroom floor. I laid out towels all over the floor just so I wouldn't step on them. It was gross.

Don't recommend!

Liked: Location
Disliked: Fairly dirty place overall. Yes, rooms have been renovated to a certain extent, but still dirty. Carpet feels dirty with stains. Dirty under the bed with trash and other. Pillows are lifeless and small. Bed sinks in the middle. Spider webs and dead bugs everywhere. Our AC unit wouldn't adjust to high fan speed, only low. On a 90 degree day with sun beating on the room, that's not enough to keep the room cool. Ice machine hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Nasty mold and particles at the bottom of the ice bucket after it melted! YUCK! Shower water temp would change between hot and cool without touching the handle. I don't feel clean after leaving this room. The breakfast? Would you like some expired gas station pastries? Not good! And for $200 per night? NOT WORTH IT!!! And of course, this review will be met with a canned response with no action.
