Behind the TV the tabletop was sticky, the bathroom door handle was damaged, the internet was spotty and sometimes we couldn't connect. outside the spots were covered in snow and difficult to park in. All that said the staff was very friendly and helpful and the beds were very comfy and had a great rest (although someone had their alarm clock ringing and we could hear it one morning) room 204

I had booked a 2 bed room online, but after arriving at the property was told the only available room on the ground floor ( no elevator and I wasn’t able to do stairs) was the handicapped room with a single bed. I initially accepted it but was not offered a discount and we all know you pay more for a room with 2 beds. After getting to the room, it was decided it was not acceptable so I returned to the front desk and that I would force my way up the stairs at which point I was directed to a double room with a kitchenette on the first floor at which point I was charged an additional 15.00 which I am still not sure how I feel but overall it was a question that could have been asked upon first checking in to avoid the kerfuffle. When entering the rooms, try they keep them cold, so you enter an icebox until they warm up which takes awhile because it’s an older motel with baseboard heaters. The front desk clerk did remain friendly and hospitable throughout the check in process which I commend her for as I was probably considered the customer from hell but got the feeling she didn’t have the authority to upgrade rooms and such.

If you want a hotel were you can here everyone that walks by, a dirty room with stains on the new blankets, a obnoxious light that always beams through your window during the night, or paper thin walls that let you here all the fun activities from the other rooms. Then this place is for you. I stayed here for 15 nights and I regretted almost every one of them. The “fresh” towels and bedding almost always had stains on them from who knows what. The room was messy with cobwebs in the corners of every room. One night at about 8pm-9pm it sounded like there was someone with a saw cutting planks of wood that would fall loudly to the ground outside of my room. The whole place is super old and worn out and is pretty depressing. I booked because of the complimentary breakfast that was included, but all that was provided was a brown paper bag made like a children’s lunch, that had probably been made by the front desk staff because it was cheaper that way. If I was you I would spend the extra couple dollars to get a different hotel in the city, because this one STINKS!👎

Our room was cleaned but not sanitized. I recomend using ozen machine to atleast eliminaye the smoke smell. Its not for a family stay. The lady when we check in, she knows that we have an infant but still recomended that smoking room and honestly its not pleasing to breath to a room like that especially to my 3 kids

Was travelling on a budget. This motel is dated and somewhat in need of upgrades but I expected this because the price was lower compared to others. However the room was very clean, the bed very comfortable and the breakfast was very adequate. I would recommend this motel and will return if I’m back in Ft St. John.

From the moment we arrived at Howard Johnson Fort st. John , we were treated so nicely. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we felt welcome and well taken care of. Our room was nothing short of amazing – spacious, modern, and immaculately clean. The bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to leave it! The bathroom was beautifully designed with high-end toiletries and a fantastic shower.

Honestly, some of the staff were rude (a few were awesome), the building looked very run down and dirty. When I tried to go elsewhere due to a miscommunication on the amount of the pet fee (was told during check in that it was an extra $50 a night, holy smokes) they would not let me cancel my reservation and made me pay at least one night no matter if I stayed or not (I should have paid the cancellation fee). But as I am not made of money and could not afford to pay for a room and stay elsewhere as well, I stayed the whole 5 nights. The breakfast fare was minimal and did not taste great. The whole building smelled musty when there was not a giant cloud of cologne hiding everything.

The staff was outstanding, very friendly, welcoming and helpful, the continental breakfast was disappointing but the original room was being renovated so it was makeshift across the hall but only 2 choices for hot food and the hashbrowns were cold and raw in the middle bread was stale as it was sitting on top of the hot toaster and 1 cereal dispensers was broken over I had a comfortable relaxing time but needs a few small improvements lime only decaffeinated coffe and not enough sugar disappointing but was very happy with the staff
