Verified Reviews of Howard Johnson Hotel by Wyndham Toms River

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"Clean and comfortable"

Overall Score4.0/ 5

The staff was welcoming and the hotel was clean and well maintained. The price was affordable. If you are looking for a basic room, then this location is for you. The bed was beyond comfortable. I would recommend it and would stay there again.

Lenise W. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

08-Jun-2026 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Jun 05 to Sun Jun 07 2026 at a $150.99 average nightly rate.

"It seems as though there were tenants living in some of the rooms."

Overall Score2.0/ 5

I was surprised to see through my balcony people on the lower floors looking like tenants more than guests. It felt awkward and not welcoming. There was a constant smell of cigarettes and weed roaming the property all while the rooms are said to be smoke free. Chairs on the balcony were dirty and unkept. Room was decent but nothing appealing.

Juan A. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

18-Jul-2025 Verified Review, stayed from Mon Jul 14 to Tue Jul 15 2025 at a $130.90 average nightly rate.

"Need more linen."

Overall Score3.0/ 5

There wasn’t enough wash clothes and towels. And when we asked for more it wasn’t provided.

18-May-2025 Verified Review, stayed from Fri May 16 to Sun May 18 2025 at a $161.11 average nightly rate.
