Howard Johnson vs. Econolodge?

[SPAGo 98]

i've researched a bit, and i have a rate of 40 a nite for Econolodge (on Irlo Bronson) or 50 a nite for Howard Johnson Maingate East. does anyone have any recommendations regarding these hotels? thanks!!

If it's the Econolodge Hawian, I wouldn't touch it, we had a bad experience around 18 months ago, the place needed a good clean - the tap came off in my hand (and was never fixed), the bath was badly stained - all in all it needed a good makeover!

We've had 2 good stays at HJME. Rooms were clean, pool was nice. It's very standard, but fine if that's all you need.

Thanks for your replies! We have decided on the HoJo. :)

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT HOTELKINGDOM.COM, I FOUND A RATE FOR THE HOWARD JOHNSON MAINGATE EAST DELUXE ROOM FOR ONLY 36.90 AND THE ROOM COMES WITH REFRIGERATOR AND MICROWAVE. WE ARE GOING WEEK OF APRIL VACATION.

I too have seen lower rates for HJME. At www.valuetrips.com and www.hotelkingdom.com

I stayed at the Econolodge Eastgate and it was awful! Very dirty and I didn't feel safe. I wouldn't stay there again if they paid ME! Choose wisely!!
