Verified Reviews of Howard Johnson Inn
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Great Location"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Everything was okay until I had learned that your manager John Hill had charged my charge card instead of applying the church check that was presented as we had agreed which would make the group tax free. At this time your other manager, Marie, was supposed be addressing the issue. I have never had this happen to me before and it kind of stressed me out. I expect people to be honest, forthright and most of all to know what they are doing.

15-Dec-2015 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Dec 11 to Sat Dec 12 2015 at a $109.00 group rate. 
Response from Management on 01-Feb-2016:
Thank you for your review. I apologize for the error in your billing. As soon as we knew that there was this discrepancy, we reacted as quickly as we could to rectify the situation. Within days of your groups departure, we did have the charge reversed off from you card and settled to the check. I hope that you will still consider the Howard Johnson - Historic in the future. I assure you that we will take extra steps to insure this does not happen to you again.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
It's a perfect location! The rooms and the pool were kept very clean and nice. The front desk staff was always exceptionally kind and hospitable. The sales rep was helpful from beginning to end (thank you, Melody). And with a group of 55 family members who always find something to complain about, they were more than content and pleased with the accommodations for three nights. The courtyard/patio with the tree was perfect for gatherings too!

Thank you for your review! I am so pleased that all of your family members were pleased with the arrangements Melody made for them. We are proud of our property here in St. Augustine. Please get in touch with us again when it is time another reunion!
"Nothing Noteworthy!"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Some in my party did not want their rooms disturbed by housekeeping; however, even posting the "do not disturb" sign on the door did not prevent housekeeping from going in. I know this is an old property and was fine with the room until I went into that tiny bathroom and saw the window in there. It was old, ragged and no attempts had been made with paint or anything else to make it look better or even safe for that matter. I did not partake in the breakfast. I will say that housekeeping rolling that big cart around the parking lot early in the morning was a real turn-off when you are trying to catch those extra winks or sleep in.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that Housekeeping did not pay attention to your Do Not Disturb sign and that our carts disturbed your sleep. We are currently making adjustments and putting new policies in place to insure that these types of disturbances do not happen. We are also updating all of our rooms, and addressing all structural issues, like what you mentioned about the window. We are also making additions and improvements to our complimentary breakfast. I hope that you will give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.
