We stayed here with our hockey team. It was tired and dingy. The rooms were spacious and had a bar fridge and microwave with a new tv. The price was cheap and it was clean. For a bunch of hockey players and their parents it was an expensive one night stay that was adequate for our needs More

I have never written a hotel review before, but I thought this was warranted. Like some of the previous reviewers, we checked into this Hojo to attend a wedding in town. Unfortunately, the staff did not ask or mention to us that we were booked in a smoking room (I didn't realize that there still were rooms in hotels where... More

Stayed here for a wedding in July. Unfortunately was put in a smoking room but hotel sold out. Room was just horrible - reeked of years of smoke. Old furnishings. Didn't even want to put my stuff down. Dark and felt dirty. Thought we could make a go of it - just a place to sleep but left very early... More

This property is not up to HoJo standards. They have obviously done some work on the exterior but the rooms were outdated, the room was not clean, the electrical circuit was hanging out of the wall, and the room reeked of stale smoke and alcohol. More

I want to Gravenhurst Howard Johnson to attend a wedding with a bunch of girlfriends. I have to say I had a great experience. The hotel was clean and the people working there are very polite and accomodating to my needs. I felt that if I needed assistance with something, the staff there were willing to help me with it....

We stayed at the Howard Johnson in Gravenhurst for a hockey tournament. There was a microwave and fridge in our room, as well as a coffee maker so we didn’t have to get up and ready before we had our morning coffee. The room was a good size, the sheets were clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the bathtub... More

This hotel is a dark, dirty, dump. It shoud be demolished and a new building erected. While the outside is nice and brightly painted, the interrior is dark, smelly, and dingy. The furniture in the room was damaged, and I've seen better sitting at the curb for garbage pickup. The rooms smell, and even after emptying two containers of "Febreeze"... More

My experience at the Howard Johnson in Gravenhurst has got to be - hands down - the WORST experience I have ever encountered! The staff there have no idea what they are doing and the owner is beyond RUDE and not hospitable. I had called a month in advance to book with a wedding, so a certain amount amount of... More

I'll start with the positives - there is access to a microwave and larger size fridge in each room, there is free parking and an ample amount of it. The rooms are of a reasonable size, the beds are comfortable and seem fairly new, the sheets are clean, all seem to include a desk, 2 beds, TV and cable, small... More
