How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
I don't really like to review anything but food. However, I just had to write about this Hojo. Listen, I didn't expect much from a room under 50 bucks but...come on man! Everything was cheaply okay until the man in the lobby, Andy, who was nice, made a bad excuse for the joint. I questioned my address on the bill to which he explained that it was the address for Expedia, since the reservation was made via Expedia. Andy went on to tell me, "Do you know how much Expedia paid for the room." "Doesn't really matter to me" I said. "$39. The rest is fees you pat them." He told me anyway. "This is why I have to give you the room you get." He went on. "Okay." I said and now wondered what he meant by that. I get to the room which is the first one next to the lobby. It must have been a storage closet before. LOL. No, really, I laughed out loud and said really?! The room was just big enough to crush the queen size bed into it with a miscellaneous door on the side wall blocked by a long useless table. There was also a round table and chair between the bed and the bathroom and a bedside table. Why all the table is beyond me. The bathroom was fine with a small shower. The decor was 20+ years out dated and the smell was musty and that goes for the pillow cases too. BUT...here's the kicker. It's 2013 and the TV was from 1982 at best. No lie. No joke. I had to bang it to get a picture on the little 20 inch screen. I'm surprised it wasn't black and white. ...and Andy. It's not because of Expedia that the room is as it is. It simply because someone is too CHEAP to upgrade this establishment to $50 a night worthiness. Howard Johnson would NOT be proud. I gave it 2 stars because Andy was a nice fella and I just needed a bed. But do not toss blame where it does not belong. Take responsibility for the cheapness.
