*DO NOT STAY AT THE HOWARD JOHNSON ROYAL CONNAUGHT!!!!*

That's where we stayed NYE 2002... the rooms are awful, service was terrible, walls are really thin (we could easily hear the people next door partying through the night), and worst of all they only have 2 reception desks. We arrived at about 2:30 PM and we had to line up for 2 hours just to check in! Oh yea, and they didn't have enough parking!

We're staying at the Sheraton this time even though it's almost double the price, I'm sure it will be worth it.

The proper term is "The HoJo"

Thanks.

Actually, i would say the proper term is the royal connaught because ive never heard anyone call it the "HOWARD JOHNSON" or the "HOWARD JOHNSON ROYAL CONNAUGHT" in real life. :lol:

of course HoJo beats Howard johnson any day of the week. unfortunately the HoJo is closed, but if you're looking for hoes, i hear there is vacancy at the red lion inn :lol:

I got drunk in there a couple times, what a dump! We got a place here in London just like it called the Brunswick Hotel and Bar, on Talbot St. You need to check it out bean, you'd love it! :thumb:

You mean "The wick", right?
Classic, dumpy bar. Just mentioning that place leaves me with a draught headache.


Anyways, back to the thread...I really hope you are still able to get a place. From what I hear, a lot of places are booked solid by now.

0 tool points because it was funny. hehe

How about parking? Any good spots for, should I even say, cheap?

- beanmedic - 12-29-2004

that depends......how close do you want to be to your car?? if you are staying in a hotel you might be better taking a cab or a bus and leaving your car at the hotel......so how close do you want to get?
