"Rooms are updated and clean and Spacious . Old Howard Johnson. New owners are putting a lot of funds into renovations. Good option for NAU visits. Building looks old on the outside but the rooms are nice. If you're planning to use the mico kitchen you need to request all the cookware utensils plates and silverware. There is none in the rooms"
