Among the best-known of midpriced hotel chains, Howard Johnson can be found in locations around the world.
Business and leisure travelers alike receive such services as free incoming faxes and local phone calls. Rooms are equipped with a work desk and chair, a desk-top phone, data port and work lighting. Additional standard amenities are a cordless phone, an in-room coffeemaker, a clock radio and a complimentary weekday newspaper.

Each franchise decides on the amenities that will be offered at a particular location. Some operate Howard Johnson restaurants, some have alternate restaurant brands and others have no dining facilities on-site. Such relaxation amenities as indoor pools, whirlpools and fitness centers are available at some locations.
Families are in the forefront at Howard Johnson hotels. Some locations feature Crayola Kids Rooms, which give children their own playroom in which to relax and have fun. Designed to spur the imagination, the rooms are decorated with Crayola brand lamps, clocks, easels and accessories.
Howard Johnson's invitation to families extends to the household pet as well. Its Wags-to-Whiskers program operates in many hotels throughout North America. The pet-friendly policy includes a welcome kit. Guests are asked to advise the housekeeping staff to use a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner when they check out of their rooms.
