I had a last minute trip to ny and had a difficult time trying to find a room and came across Howard Johnson. I was completely impressed with Hojo..an amazing location, easy to get around the city from there, the staff was extremely helpful. The rooms were small...though new york room size...and clean. Highly recommend Hojo more

This place was OK at best. Pros: price (under $400), witin walking distance to Chinatown, Little Italy, and SOHO (It is not really in SOHO as the hotel name implies). A great WholeFood store has recently opened next door--Fabulous store! Cons: continental breakfast is pretty lame (stale bagels and muffins), worn beddings (comforter had holes), heating unit in room was... more

I was treated very rudely an lied to. Only after demanding to speak to a manger multiple times did a number of non smoking rooms magically appear... more

The place is centrally located, close to Chinatown, little Italy, and a few steps away from subway station. Great deal, hotwire was the best price. more

Howard Johnson at SOHO Houston St. In a nutshell, This place is very clean, the management will bend over backwards to make you happy- I,e; If you come in on an early flight and are too early to check in, you can leave your bags and walk around. With other NYC hotels in this price range that I have been... more

My husband and I spent one night at this hotel in December, 2006. This is an excellent value for the price. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are small, but attractive and very clean. We got a great rate on the hotel website, especially considering we stayed there over... more

Stayed at this hotel with my wife in late December for four nights. The rooms are very small but we were hardly in our room anyway. Our room was cleaned everyday and the staff at the hotel seemed helpful. The location seemed safe. There was a subway station close by. Is this hotel a paradise? No! This hotel is for... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for one night...and it was enough..we really weren't luck! We reserved with lastminute.com and had no problems with reservation..but we were staying in the underground...not nice at all! The room was tidy but smelled smoke(very strange since it was a non smoker room..!). The only small window we had was at ground... more
