Howard Johnson by Wyndham Blackwood Near Philadelphia

I was woken up by a loud fight outside my door after midnight. Room was mostly clean but some dirt along edges of floors and blood stains on bedding. Overall very pleasant. My friends said they had very nice updated rooms. The staff were very kind and friendly.

I would definitely not pay attention to the negative reviews from a while ago. Apparently the property is under new management and they aren’t playing around. They run a tight ship and it shows. Here are a couple of things that stood out to me for my 4 day stay in June 2026 -They charge a 40 dollar early check in fee if arriving before Noon. -The room itself (we were in Room 218) was spacious, clean and well kept -Each room has a balcony with chairs and table (floors 2 and 3). The ground floor has the same with a small patio -The Outdoor Pool hours were shorter- like 9 to 8. Would have been nice for a larger window -The Free Breakfast had three types of cereal, oatmeal, toast/bagels, waffles, yogurt and some other items. It won’t wow you but it definitely does the job!! Keep your expectations low and you’ll be happy. -The Wawa next door was an unintentional and massive perk. -The staff was exceedingly kind and professional! This was a lower budget stay for me. I normally stay in Marriott/Hilton branded hotels but with the World Cup in town I have it a try. I’m glad I did. TIP: Again, the Wawa was awesome. AND if you want ice cream, turn left out of the hotel and about a mile up the hill there is Hilltop Ice Cream. So very good and not overly expensive. I’d stay here again.

Our room was clean and spacious.

They've started revamping the rooms at this hotel. The updated rooms are very nice, clean, well maintained. I stay at this hotel frequently when I'm in town and I have only ever had one small complaint, but the staff does their best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
