Our take
Howard Johnson Hotel & Casino is a practical, family-oriented stop in Formosa: a garden with a swimming pool, a children's playground, a gym, a restaurant, free parking, and spa baths in some rooms. The 7.8 score from 488 reviews suggests a reliable rather than polished stay. I would book it for a road trip break with children. Travellers who would rather avoid a casino on site may prefer a smaller hotel.
- Take advantage of the swimming pool and garden for a relaxing afternoon.
- If traveling with children, make sure to check out the on-site playground.
- Consider a room with a spa bath for an extra touch of comfort and relaxation.
Why we love it
- The refreshing swimming pool in a garden setting
- Rooms with the option of a spa bath
- A well-equipped gym for staying active
- On-site children's playground for families
Why guests love itHoward Johnson Hotel & Casino has a children's playground on site, set next to a garden with a swimming pool, so younger kids have a real place to play in Formosa. Free parking makes arrival easy on a road trip, and the restaurant saves a search for dinner. Some rooms have a spa bath, a small treat for parents. I would ask for a room near the garden to keep the pool and playground close.
