We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. The motel is VERY clean and ALL of the employees were extremely nice and helpful. The free breakfast had everything from fresh fruit to hot food(eggs,sausage,hashbrownsand waffles)The motel is very solid...we did not hear doors slamming or people talking in our room. Great experience..would recommend to friends and family!! more

I lived here for about 8 months while activated. The beds had bedbugs, I had to go to sick call to get something to stop the inflammation. The rooms were filthy with bugs crawing in the bath. Smelled like mildew, and the water out of the tub tap was always orange/brown. I bought my own cleaning supplies to clean and... more

On Friday May 30, 2008 I traveled, with 3 other adults, from northern New Jersey to Dover, Delaware for the NASCAR races at Dover International Speedway. Upon renewal of our NASCAR tickets in July 2007, I made an online reservation for Howard Johnson Express Inn located on DuPont Highway due to it's close proximity to the track. Upon our arrival,... more

I got this place via priceline. I paid over $100 total for one day. Place was a mess. First, night club is housed in the same building and music is all over the place. Second, hotel is really under renovation, paint smell, messy hallways, etc. Third, carpet in the room was dirty, found roach in the bathroom. For $100 a... more

This place gives me the creeps! It's musty, dingy and the cleaning staff is strange. Front desk is cool. Anyway, I have to stay here for work sometimes when I don't get control over hotel choice. Also, there is a night club attached to the place and Saturday night is the worst because people from the club get in fights... more

We stayed in this hotel with a wedding party. Our room was next door to the Bride and Groom’s Honeymoon suite. Just as I was getting ready to go to bed at 1 am, the Groom came to our room and asked my boyfriend for some assistance in getting their Jacuzzi working. While my boyfriend went to help the Groom,... more

If the only other choice is to sleep in your car, or if you don't care about getting any customer service then book in here. Otherwise stay away. more

I don't know where to start with this slum. From the outside where bricks are missing, insulation is hanging from the windows, the so-called pool is filthy, unattended, crumbling and facing a seedy nightclub. Inside it gets worse. Filth everywhere, the smell of urine, cockroaches and staff who don't speak or understand English. I did not stick around for the... more

Okay, so beggars cant be choosers, but this was uninhabitable!!! My husband & I flew into Delaware to see off a good friend in the Air Force who was leaving for Iraq out of Dover Air Base. We had only 3 places with vacancies to choose from on a very last minute trip for 2 nights which HAPPENED to be... more
