Most likely this was a result of the bed bugs that enjoyed this filthy environment. Actually we should have to get paid to stay in this place as a compensation for personal suffering! I can only warn everybody to book this place, it can danger your health.

The interior colors of the room are awful, but i didn't get bed bugs like others have experienced and it done the job for me. Just a complaint i have with any hotel (and this is a note to the management). If check out is at 12, please tell the house keeping not to chap the door until after 12. They were quite noisy i must say and chapped my door at 11.30am

We were concerned about the bed bugs, so we tried to check; however, they had new matress zipped up covers. It looked well attended to and nothing got us. I would probably never go back. I would sooner sleep at the airport then stay here. Sorry Howard Johnson, but you did not make me a repeat customer.

On Sep 19 2011 Chris K wrote, This hotel is ok if you want to stay not even longer than two or three nights. Do not rely on the shuttle to NYC. If you're tourists, it's best to go to staten island ferry by car (might take 45 minutes), which is for free and where parking is quite inexpensive. Sometimes the planes were a bit noisy, but in our room we didn't even heard some of them. There were no bed bugs! Sometimes several people...

After leaving I decided to pull up TripAdvisor to see how others found the hotel. Not to my surprise, many had the same experience. Quite a few encountered bed bugs. When I returned home, I called my bank to cancel my credit card to prevent any fraudulent charges. Take my word for it, DO NOT stay here!

I complained to the manager Victor Ratan who really did not care so I filed a complaint to HOJO customer service and they changed my room on 7/19. I even showed them pictures of the actual bugs and the bites I received. These geniuses did not do...

Obviously it's because there are BED BUGS! I have a few lumps later. And it's VERY NOISY! it's on the extension of the airport pavement! You can see planes flying right above your head, LOW! NO free parking NO breakfast.

Once we paid for parking, the price was only $5 less than a hotel, that is consistently good for which...

The beds were comfortable and, as appropriate for a hotel near the New Jersey Turnpike we had a view of a toll booth outside of our window. Our room DID NOT have bed bugs. It was not my first choice, but it wasn't the nightmare I thought it was going to be. Overall, we were stranded and they were a great hotel for that purpose.

I have allergy on insect bite, so I even had to buy pills against the allergy so that it would disappear, such a bad bite it was.

Woke up the following morning with 8 bed bug bites. Asked to see the manager on duty to inform him of the bed bugs and was told he was "busy." Left my name and number and the manager never called. Decided to cancel the remaining nights and stay at another hotel.

Luckily I read the tripadvisor reviews and knew to be careful with my luggage. I kept it away from the bed and I was careful not to end up with bugs in my clothes so no infestation at home. But honestly-do yourself a favor and don't take the chance. Yuck.

Bed bugs are fairly rampant in the New York area, so perhaps hotels can't be fully blamed for this, but there are things they can do to make it better, like: (a) have a vacuum that is newer than 40 years old. (b) wash their sheets in hot water and replace them regularly (these beds...

Needless to say, I will never stay at a Howard Johnsons again and will think twice about the Wyndham hotel brand.
