Howard Johnson Norco

Danger, this place is a joke. Don’t stay here.

First time ever staying here. Was impressed by the way it looked. Looks can be deceiving. Turned off the light for bed and was bit. So disgusting when you see the big bugs on the walls and bed. Fully grown bedbugs. Here’s 1 of many pict.

My wife and I stayed here Monday through Thursday
Thanksgiving week 2015,
The last night a fight broke out in the parking lot a bunch of gangsters fighting in the room next to us.
We decided to check out at 3 am because we could not sleep. we asked for our money back simple as that
They said they can’t. SO I asked for the corporate number HARI A INDIAN GUY WHO SAID HE’S JUST A CLERK GAVE ME THE NUMBER OF A SEX HOT LINE.
I FOUND THE REAL CORPORATE # 1 800 544 9881
Owned by Windham resorts. IL will never stay at HOWARD JOHNSON S. NORCO again! The refrigerator in the room would only freeze the toilet seat was also broke. the toilet also had yellow stains I don’t know how the other rooms were but room 230 above the garages are noisy .
THIS HOTEL IS IN NEED OF A MAJOR
RENOVATION! ! ! !

Worst experience EVER!!! I got to the hotel and was not even greeted! I had to greet them. They look at me as if im from Mars… ugh. So our reservation was under my husbands name. I decided to go ahead since my husband has to pick up our son from school. The manager then tells me he cant check me in cause its under my husbands name! But I said Im his wife and then he tells me I cant see a marriage license to prove it! Really… I have to sit outside with my 3 girls in the sun waiting for my husband to arrive cause this «idiot» decides its against policy…

If I didn’t have to give any stars I wouldn’t! Worst hotel ever! The room wasn’t clean, the door had a napkin shoved in the lookout hole because the glass had been removed, the door didn’t fit the frame and 3 of the 4 lamps had no bulbs. WiFi didn’t work and tv was iffy. Someone tried to get into the room and the front desk never followed up with us. I ended up shoving my suitcase and a chair against the door. If there was an opening at another hotel I would have been out of there immediately!

Booked a room for 2 nights through Priceline and got a pretty good deal at $ 62 per night, king bed. Has a small fridge (in dire need of defrosting) and a microwave. The first thing we noticed upon pulling down the bed covers was the filth on the cover of the box springs. No way this just happened or that anyone with eyes on the housekeeping staff could miss! Looking at the room a little more, we notice how dirty the walls are. Yes it is a smoking room but this was who-​knows-​what slopped on walls and doors.
Next the bathroom door knob locked me in the bathroom. The handle turned and turned but won’t open the door. Luckily my husband was there and able open the door from the other side. So for the next two days we don’t fully close the bathroom door.
Sat afternoon we return to the room (#226 btw) and neither door key cards work, took 6 tries to get the card to read.
When we checked out I talked to the guy at the front desk, explaining the bathroom door problem. He said «ok, we will have it looked at». I asked if he or other management ever goes to look at the rooms. He said «no I dont, but I have maintenance go look later».
Yeah… that’s not what I meant.
Avoid this particular Howard Johnson in Norco.

We decided to make an affordable decision for a quick overnight stay and made a good decision.
We checked in and were greeted by two night gentlemen after waiting for about 3 minutes. We got our room keys and came to find out they didn’t work. We had to go back to the front desk, and the second pair worked perfectly!
The room is simple and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The deadbolt on the door did not work but we made to sure to
Chain the door up when we went to sleep. The walls were a little thin and could hear stomps outside and our neighbors getting home late at night but it wasn’t too bad besides that.
Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and slept very well. We would recommend this hotel for people who want an affordable, clean, simple place to stay.

WORSE HOTEL EVER! I’M NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN!
I should had taken pictures of it, but i was too tired and just wanted to go to sleep. —The first thing that i noticed when i walked into the non-​smoking room was that it smelled like someone smoked cigarettes in there.
Secondly, i found pubic hair on the toilet rim with a broken toilet lid.
Third, the front desk didn’t tell me anything about a wifi password.
Fourth, the air conditioning’s cover housing was broken and was rattling really loud. i was annoyed from it so i shoved a pen into between the gap to stop the rattle.
Fifth, NO COLD WATER! It was just only hot water coming out from the sink and shower. Plus, the shower handle was broken!
And the last one that i was more unhappy about was when I checked out at the front desk, i had to ask for my own receipt. they didn’t make a printout of an actual full paper receipt, they just torn off the copy of the manual receipt that was processed on the chuchanga (manual credit card copy) and just hand it to me. I looked at my receipt and looked at the front desk guy with a, «WTH look». However, he just walked away back to his little office in the back. HE WASNT WEARING ANY SHOES! JUST BAREFOOT! I felt disgusted and feels like there’s something fishy with that place.

Wish I could give a half of 1 star. Disgusting place to stay. We got the «King Suite». Laughable. Standing water in the shower… not much more disgusting than trying to shower, while standing in everyone else’s funk who has showered before you. The sink, same thing. Brushing our teeth meant looking at others’ spit wads floating up. Then, the illegal part and contributed to lack of sleep was the non existent smoke detector (wires hanging out of the ceiling). Then, of course, the delightful roar of the freeway a stones throw away. I will say that housekeeping (as far as cleanliness) did fairly well. Other than no back-​up roll of TP and no hand towels whatsoever (only 2 washcloths and 2 bath towels) so we had to dry our hands on a washcloth every time we washed our hands. Beyond EXTREMELY disappointed. When I brought the aforementioned items to the older mans attention upon check-​out, he offered no compensation but rather «I will check on that». Won’t ever stay there or any other «HoJo’s» ever again. Gross.

Let me start by saying… you DO get what you pay for, and I’m completely aware and fine with that. But I do not expect my toiletries to be used (see in photos), the laundry bag used and rehung, burned out lightbulbs not replaced, battery missing from smoke detector and the toilet seat to not even be bolted down!!! I’m sure there will more issues as the night continues.

Grate price for me under $ 70 on weekend… Is good deal for me, also room was clean and the young man who is working there with positive and good attitude, i like services and a price too. Affordable, also they have a good price for all week long, i mean they have a good deal for 7 days if you want to stay over for a while about any reasons… I loved hojo… thax guys,.

It’s decent priced and clean for the most part but that’s about it. So many little things are messed up here. Water is too hot or not hot at all. Lamps, hair dryers and toilets don’t always work. Ants crawling on the bed. I feel so bad that we recommended friends to stay here while visiting. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

First off, if you change your pet policy after reservations have been made, don’t grumble if people show up with pets because when the room was booked a week prior, pets were allowed, per their website. Hassle about checking in with a service dog is also not appreciated. As another user said, it’s not a great place to relax, it is somewhere to stay when you’ve had too many beers and the clientele certainly reflects that. I made triple sure to not leave anything of value in my car but it would not surprise me if my car is broken into. One thing that I’m really not liking is that my DEADBOLT CHAIN IS BROKEN on my door. Not cool.
So this is not a completely negative review, the rooms are decent and clean and the price is not too bad. The young gentleman who checked me in was pleasant and competent but the man at the desk later on was not friendly at all and was confrontational. I normally do not leave reviews on hotels (and I stay at a lot of different hotels) but I felt compelled to review this hotel in case any families with young children were considering booking at this Howard Johnson motel. It’s not really a hotel I feel ‘safe’ at so it’s not one I would recommend as a family hotel.

HoJo’s Its just your typical hotel that I decided to pick for the price & location. Gentleman that was at the front desk. Pretty laid back. Got my info and had me in my room very quickly. Told me about the local eateries if I wanted to eat. The room was clean. Wont say anything about the duct tape on the chair at the desk??? Everything was cleaned like the it was suppose to be. It didn’t reek of cigarettes either.

had to stay here for a period of time over a months period, not super clean but affordable, I asked for a discount from who i believe was the owner, since i would be staying often and she gave me a deal without any question.

Cheap, you get what you pay for. This isn’t a Great place to relax at. It’s a night after to many beers to sleep at so you don’t get a DUI. Enough said!
