"We recently stayed at the Howard Johnson in Lima, and while our stay was not bad, I’m not sure we if would stay here again or if we'd try somewhere else.
There were definitely positives. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and one of the biggest highlights was how incredibly quiet the hotel was. It’s an older, solidly built property, and once our door was closed, we could barely hear anything outside-very appreciated by this light sleeper. I also liked the large lighted bathroom mirror and the generous counter space. The pool and play areas looked great for families with kids. We appreciated the Pizza Lounge being available for a drink or snack, and that breakfast was available.
The main issue for us was cleanliness and upkeep. Behind the mattress (on the boxspring) and on the floor behind the bed, we found dried Zyn packets, dirt, and hair, making it clear that area was not being cleaned thoroughly. The carpeting in the room also felt damp, not sure where that was coming from, but it was noticeable (we were on ground floor). The hallway carpeting could use deep cleaning or replacement due to staining, and the parking lot and sidewalks around the building had quite a few weeds that hurt the overall appearance.
Overall, the hotel has some strong positives, especially the quiet rooms and friendly staff, but it could benefit from more attention to cleanliness and maintenance."
