Howard Johnson Inn – Newburgh

So I stayed here yesterday it was decent .the breakfast was amazing this morning the only problem I had is the Wi-​Fi did not work on the second floor I had to come down to the lobby

This place is fine. Pros: close to highway. Clean linens. Nice staff. In room coffee. Free wifi & breakfast. Cons: Rooms need updates. Carpet has been shampooed so much it is sticky. Scary electrical and my son had never seen a domed screen TV. Weak wifi.

Arrived late in the evening to a rude hotel clerk that had I guess just woken up. He was rude in every way imaginable, I had already payed through Priceline do I had to take it. Room was okay, nothing special but nothing horrible very adequate. In the morning I was greeted by the rude Indian owner who turned off the TV in the breakfast area while I was listening to it. I complained to him about the TV and the worthless PC in the business center that I was trying to use and he said that I could check out any time that he wasn’t about to waste any more electricity, charming man horrible hotelier. I couldn’t even get the PC to load one single website so I just gave up.
Good thing I had urgent business to attend to, I ended having to go to the town’s public library, another experience. In the meantime another clerk this time a woman who does not even greet guests with a good morning, was busy talking (ghetto style) to another employee who used vulgarities during their conversation in the middle of the LOBBY!
I would not even give this place one star.

I am forced to give this a star as there are no options for less. Most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed in my life. Not sure how the building is up to code or how it’s even legal to use bedding as old as this place does. So run down, so old, so smelly. I needed to sleep as we had a long day of driving ahead of us. I couldn’t even though I was exhausted because I felt filthy. Never ever again! Should’ve slept in the car!

Very unfriendly darker skinned man with glasses at check in. I was a walk in and he Quoted a higher rate than posted on hobos website. Would not give me the webrate. Said it was up to me if I wanted to go outside and book online. I stayed here before but never again.

I stayed here last summer while working in the area and forgot to write my review. it wasn’t very clean but I’ve seen worse. it is fairly inexpensive, my problem with this place is this. LOCK YOUR DOOR! I locked the dead bolt and the safety latch before going to bed (about 11:30pm) and when I woke up the following morning at 6am the deadbolt was unlocked and the safety bolt was extended. someone tried coming into my room in the middle of the night and they had a key! NOT COOL!

Me, my fiancée, our toddler and family friend all stayed a week in Newburgh at this hotel. We came to visit family and spend most of our time in NYC. It was only an hour from the city. We checked in late our first night and the women at the desk was extremely friendly. I believe her name started with an S or something. Our stay was great. We enjoyed our cozy room. Everything worked fine. Everything was decently clean and comfortable. My only complaint was a few of the housekeepers were very rude and acted annoyed if we were still in our room when them came to clean and asked to come a bit later. As well as a few of the mornings when we went to enjoy the free breakfast, some housekeepers sat and watched what we did and what we ate and how much we took. I was even told that I took «too many plates» when I actually needed them since I was bringing food back for my daughter and fiancée in the room. And while we ate I was stared at and talked about. Another quick thing was they don’t have any working cribs for guests who need them which definitely caused issues when it came to sleeping at night. But other than that everything was great.

0 star! worst experience ever! They are in a perfect location but they just do not do the job well. They should have made their lobby smell better. They should have cleaning the room better, especially for their bed! If I am an enterprise manager, I can see a lot of things they can do to improve it. Not much prices, but they simply do not get these basic jobs done!

stayed here this past weekend. room was old and not very clean. there was an iron imprint on the carpet, a previous guest must have left the iron on the floor and melted the cheap carpet and they are too poor to fix it up. worst part is got bit in the night by i think bed bugs. three bites. small red round bumps, not mosquito bites. i don’t recommend this place at all.

Honestly wasn’t too bad. For what you pay for it it is for sure worth it. Stayed here for 2 nights and had no problems. The tub was a little work out and bathroom needed to be updated. Also seemed very creepy/​scary movie like at night. Honestly can’t complain about anything else though we enjoyed our stay

Bathroom was ok, one towel had a stain on it. The sheets had rips in them with couple of stains also. The chair in the room had holes in it. The hallways and rooms just need a major makeover and it won’t be so bad. Other wise next time i would pay a little extra for a different hotel. Which there are several top name brand hotels all around this hotel. Breakfast was small but ok. Time to merge with a big name hotel.

ZERO STARS! First room no shower curtain, we get switched to another room and the bed sheets on one bed were torn and an earring laying on the floor! Dude at the front desk not once apologized and acted as he had no interest in even working there. I’m a recently retired infantry Marine and I’ve slept in some pretty nasty places and this place I sure as hell was not gonna pay $ 80 to stay in this dookie hole of a hotel when right next door is a Hilton for $ 20 more a night. DO NOT STAY HERE!

We came to Howard Johnson’s in the middle of a snowstorm on a Friday night and I was really, really happy that they had a room for us. This in and of itself makes me want to give them a higher star count… But unfortunately, what we found when we checked in was not so great. The front desk manager when we arrived was unfriendly and unhelpful. He basically took my credit card and gave me my room key, and provided no other words or conversation whatsoever.
The hotel itself was kind of dingy; the back entrance was well lit, but it took them until morning to clear and salt it. When we got to our room, we were greeted by a sunken in bed, a broken down shower (it worked, but not well), and a single chair. Upon further inspection in the light of day, there were a couple of dead stink bugs on the carpet by my suitcase. Overall, I was happy we had a place to stay, but if we had to make the choice to stay in Newburgh again, I would pick a different hotel.
What I can say was that the room cost in the neighborhood of $ 70. I’m not sure what the local going rate is, but I thought that was reasonable for even an iffy experience. I would have just hoped for $ 70, they could have at least vacuumed. Sorry HoJo, going to have to do better than that to get 3 or 4 stars out of this girl.
