Howard Johnson Express Inn Pacifica Hotel

The location was handy for what we wanted. The hotel was adequate - at best.

It was shabby and run down--more what would have expected from a cheap motel rather than a big chain hotel.

We had planned to drive through on a trip from Tucson to loss Angeles, but found we were too tired. We stopped at the Howard Johnson to inquire about rates, intending to ask at several other hotels in the area before booking, but it was 3am, we wanted to.
