We had a fantastic one-night stay at the Howard Johnson in Leavenworth. The location was easily within walking distance to downtown, the Adventure Coaster, a lovely park, restaurants, and a coffee shop. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, the continental breakfast was nice, and our room was comfortable and well-appointed. The pool was small and was "heated," but didn't feel very warm. That was a non-issue because it was 90 degrees outside.
There were a couple of negatives that were minor. The first was the overwhelming smell of pine cleaner in the lobby. I stopped in for a couple of things over our stay, and it was a very intense smell that instantly gave me a headache. I'm sensitive to chemical cleaners, and it was a bit off-putting. We also paid $5 for a DVD rental and a bag of microwave popcorn. The DVD skipped for the majority of our movie. Other than that our stay was great and we would definitely come back for another stay.
