I read the previous reviews prior to staying at this hotel with hopes that you can't believe everything you read online. BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ HERE! I do not recommend this hotel at all!!!! The odor of the place is very prominent, although I'm not even so sure it's cig. smoke that smells so horrible. As you first approach the... More

When we arrived we got our room right away. I reserved a king room, 2 nights, but got a king suite for some reason, but still the same price. The only problem it was a queen bed and it really needed to be replaced, you can start to feel the springs digging in your back. There was a jacuzzi (did... More

The hotel was clean and staff were nice, but the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke really bothered me, and I stayed in a non-smoking room. The smoke not only lingered in the rooms, but hit me as soon as i walked in the hotel. if you do not mind the smell of cigarette smoke it was a great, inexpensive hotel... More

I booked a room online for one night in September 2011 (paid in full). I was traveling alone and it was my first time to Iowa. I was concerned about them not holding my room because my flight came in around 1am, so I called a week in advance to confirm my reservation and let them know I would be... More

Rooms: I’m not going to lie, the structure that the Howard Johnson Cedar Rapids is based in is OLD.

It is very average. Clean. Free wireless internet. The free continental breakfast was cereal, bagles, english muffins, muffins, apples and doughnuts. No toast or waffles. Very limited selection. But, we got the room really cheap on Hotwire! $29! More

I don't understand all the negative reviews. Checked in last night around 10:30pm with Angie, who was pleasant and helpful. My family travels the country for a living - staying in 50+ hotels every year. This HoJo is exactly the type of hotel we prefer - inexpensive, but with plenty of perks. Our room (2 beds) is clean and spacious!... More

This is an excellent change from most chain hotels. Angie and her staff truly care about your comfort and convenience. I would recommend you give it a try any enjoy true hospitality at its finest. I will be back next week for business travel. More
