Howard Johnson Hotel & Suites by Wyndham Pico Rivera

Nice place

!!!!

since it was during summer, a/c was NOT on in room!! seemed to take forever just to get it cooled off. i didnt notice roaches until check out.... price could have been better than what i actually paid for, but since it was only 1 nite.... if there is a next time, it w/be soley because of convenience/location & if longer then 1 nite, hopefully have a better rate.

The tv stopped working kept saying weak signal. There was no storm or bad weather I tried to tell them and they wouldn’t answer the bell. Wash clothes still 2 after I said 4. They did acknowledge that they need to change the website to continental breakfast instead of breakfast. It still wasn’t continental because it was no cereal yogurt donuts bagels. It was toast and a piece of a muffin with OJ. Not acceptable. I would never go back there.

You get what you pay for!

When I arrived and checked in, it took more than 20 minutes because the mu ha ho that was there didn't taste very good until the lady came to help and then the room I was assigned to had cockroaches and it was full of ants. We told the staff to clean it and when we returned, they still hadn't cleaned it. I always go to this hotel but this year I was disappointed.

Convenient

We enjoy the convenience of this location and have been coming for years. I just have noticed that some of the rooms could use a good mopping. The room appears clean, the linen is laundered but after stepping out of shower and walking across room we both had black feet. This hasn’t completely steered us away but we prefer upstairs closer to the stairwell and next time will make sure to request that. The clerks are always very accommodating when we have needed anything

Some people might ask: Howard Johnson? Very good? So yes, the chain still exists, and this property rates pretty good in my estimation. Although located less than 1/4 mile from the heavily trafficked US-605, we experienced no noise. The grounds are kept manicured and clean. The lobby feels fresh, albeit small. The room - queen bed - felt roomy. All appliances in the room functioned. And there was little anxiety about the surrounding business district; this end of town has been kept up. Downsides do exist for sure: the strong odor of the disinfectant to clean the room; the flimsy towels; wall A/C units that continuously cycle (external temps were near 100 degrees). But the staff do try to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Property needed to be renovated 40 years ago Not a safe area at all
