Howard Johnson Maingate East

Has anyone stayed here recently. Looks good in the pictures, but I'd like some first hand info.

Can't beat the price at $29.95 per night.

Have not been at it for about 4 years. However, it was great then. Much better value than price. Going by every year now on way to timeshares it still looks well kept.

I was at this hotel in jan 2001, Everything was perfect but the key for the rooms was a big problem, each day I was forced to ask to get it re-encoded (magnetic stripes) But everything else was perfect, I loved the heated pool (the water was really hot compared to the outside temp so we saw steam all over the pool, and it was kind of funny) I was in a regular room but next time I will get one with a microwave and fridge.

I have been there every year for the last 6 years except for last year, (went the quality suites on the next block). We are going to be there in August just because I like it and the transportation in a lot better then QS.

when you were quoted that $29.95 rate did you mention a coupon from Florida Travels magazine or somewhere else?

I called after reading your statement and got them to book me under that rate (she wouldn't cancel my old rate which was $39.95) and then told me my second room (kitchenette) went for $59.99, so I booked that too. I went and looked at my old ressies and noticed my kitchenette was booked for $49.95. I called back and asked to cancel 2 ressies (the $39 and the $59). That lady confirmed my new $29 room and my $49 room. Just before hanging up she said "AND MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR COUPON FOR THE $29 RATE . What coupon I asked her, the other lady didn't say anything about a coupon. So she told me they won't honor that rate with out the coupon and one could be found in that FL travels.

So if you don't have a coupon, you need one and if there is somewhere in your neighborhood where you picked up one, COULD YOU PLEASE BE SO KIND AS TO MAIL ME ONE .I could sure use that rate after paying for 10 people to go to WDW.

Anyone else going soon mind picking me up one I would be so thankful, thanks so much.

No coupon when I reserved back in January.
I've since changed my plans though and am in a 2br condo,
so I haven't checked into it anymore.
