We always enjoy our stay at HoJo by the falls! It's an older hotel so the deluxe rooms are HUGE compared to most hotels these days. Love the king size bed (complete with overhead lighted mirror -- its NF after all!) and the double jacuzzi! We asked at the front desk about the Friday night fireworks timing because we were... More

My boyfriend and I stayed for only one night, thank goodness, but when we went up to the room it had a very bad smell, not sure what it was? We left the room door open to air it out because for some reason the windows do not open, I have read in another review that this is because they... More

My husband and I are smokers, unfortunately, so we booked a room with a balcony because they are the only rooms that you are permitted to smoke,(on balcony only) which didnt bother us at all. So my husband and I were very careful to ONLY smoke on the balcony and to make sure that the balcony door was closed while... More

Thank you for your commentary regarding the smoking policy at the Hotel. The property is a smoke free Hotel and that is what our guests come to expect. While we do have the balcony rooms for guests to smoke outside, we do ask that the guests do not bring any of the items in the room as the odours do... More

Stayed Friday/Saturday nights, found the front desk staff to be particularly helpful in terms of local attractions, restaurant choices and anything else we needed to know. The rooms were ok ... the location great. The only challenge we had was with changing dates, keep on the phone for ages on two occasions and not very flexible. Totally different experience with...

This would have been our second stay at this property. We've stayed before on a one-night package so we knew what we were getting. This is an older property that, while relatively clean, has to strive hard to reach its two star rating. The only reason we were coming back is because the hotel takes dogs. We were booked for...

I am sorry that you do not agree with the company policy regarding the cancellation of reservations. The policy is in place to protect both the guest and the Hotel ensuring we hold rooms for guests when they reserve it. While we understand that issues do happen we do try to help the guest whenever possible. When an issue of... More

Its right by the falls as well as all of the touristy stuff like clifton hill so everything is within walking distance. Our room was reasonably priced and about a week before we arrived we... More

Howard Johnson's Hotels got a bad reputation when I was a kid in the 70's. but if they stay like this one, that reputation will be totally wiped away.
