Not fancy but no complaints
Nothing fancy but a comfort stay. Seems like it was a pretty quiet night there and looking at the parking lot it seemed like the cars were kind of nicely spaced out so I think they spaced the rooms out so you didn't really have another person right on top of you thus not noisy. The heating worked & the shower was hot, those are two main things for me.

I've stayed at a few HoJos before, so I didn't think it was this bad. First, they had NO blankets available for guests, each bed had 2 flat sheets on top and that was all I was able to get. 2 morning in a row the staff ignored the "sleeping/do not disturb" signs by banging on the door and even attempting to enter the room when I didn't answer. I was in town working overnight hours and this ruined my sleep time during the day. Lastly, when I went by the breakfast room for a snack. There was a mouse just walking around eating crumbs from the floor and even mouse droppings on the counter tops near the cereal.
