Which is better? Got rates that are about the same. What's you opinion?

I haven't stayed at Howard Johnson, but we enjoyed Park Inn very much. Clean room, neat swimming pool on the 4th floor, excellent view of the fireworks at night (if you weren't at the park) and good access to Mimi's, McDonalds or Mom's - and others as you head down the street. So as far as location & cleanliness (as well as decent parking, much of which is covered) I can recommend Park Inn. I was able to get a rate of $69 there last year using a Hotel Savings Card I have and felt that to be an extremely good rate, especially during the summertime.

Both nice but make mine Hojo's.:)

Inside entry for rooms. Good view of fireworks from rooms on west side of Building 1 ( away from I5 ). Grounds very pretty, particularly at night. Two pools but the front pool, being rebuilt,
is not finished at this time. Good staff. 11 minute walk from the entrance of DL/DCA to Hojo's or take the ARTS. Think smoking is only on a few floors of Building 1 which works well for nons.:D
We're booked for $79 for mid June.
