We chose this hotel because of the closeness to Yankee Stadium. When we first pulled up the hotel I was a little nervous because of the neighborhood and building looked a little run-down. However, the hotel is next to a police station which was comforting. Once we got inside I felt a lot better about our choice of accomadations. The... more

Bronx, NY Howard Johnson “Absolutely a Terrible Hotel” 22 July 2008 I stayed in the Howard Johnson 1300 Sedgwick Bronx, NY from 9 - 10 July 2008 and it was a very disappointing experience. The first statement you hear from the Howard Johnson central reservation is that the hotel has been recently renovated and that it is very close to... more

We recently stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. We booked the room after doing a search for hotels near Yankee Stadium. While the hotel is near the stadium, the area does not lend itself very well to walking there. On one side of the hotel is a gas station (full service, gas only [no store]), and on the other... more

We were on a trip, 12 of us, to attend the Yankee game, and liked the convenience of this hotel to the Stadium. While it's advertised as 1.5 miles, and you could probably walk it, the neighborhoods looked fine, we drove and parked by the Stadium. The stay at the Hotel was fine. The rooms were small, but everything was... more

The motel was advertised as new but appeared to be an older motel that may have been remodeled and perhaps new to the Howard Johnson chain. Had updated bathroom which was okay. Bedroom appeared older, worn, and barely met minimum cleanness standards. Motel lobby was not welcoming with clerk be hind a Plexiglas shield. Staff appeared more interested in talking... more

Stayed here one night with son and family (two toddlers) after a late flight from Milwaukee. Rooms had been guaranteed in advance and reconfirmed that day for a late arrival. We arrived and the rooms were not ready-at 11 p.m! We waited in the car for an hour in a scarey barred parking lot while they cleaned the rooms. While... more

Arrived and all seemed well, we knew it was only going to be a "rise & go" breakfast & we were pleasantly surprised to have plenty of cereals, milk, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juices, danish pastry's, and bagels. There was a photographer there taking photos of the breakfast room, as they were there for their web site he said. Great... more

Flew in from South Florida to see some Yankee baseball and to do some sightseeing. The Howard Johnson's is a newer Hotel located between a Police station on one side and a gas station on the other. Inside the Hotel, staff was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable and the Continental Breakfast was just enough to get me... more

This motel, a half-block from the subway, was kept in immaculate condition. We were somewhat concerned about the noise from the trains when we found the motel but we experienced no problem whatever in the first room floor. We highly recommend the place despite the reputation of the Bronx. more
