Howard Johnson by Wyndham Harrisonburg

8/10 Good

"The price was great for this location. Not sure why other reviewers complained about noise and sketchy people. Our experience was fine with none of these issues. It was very clean and nice in the room. King bed was comfortable. Plenty of shopping and eateries near by. Breakfast was listed as "continental". A waffle maker and some type of protein,like eggs and/or sausage, would be an improvement. Staff were cordial. We would stay here in the future. Amenities were fine."

"The property was clean, the staff was helpful. The breakfast was good with scrambled eggs actually resembling real eggs rather than the powered eggs normally seen in these breakfast buffets. The hotel provides trays which is very helpful if you want to take breakfast back to your room. Staff kept the food area clean and we'll stocked."
