We stayed for two nights at this hotel in order to attend the Yankees game. The hotel should be called "Howard Johnson: Yankee Stadium + a 1.5 mile walk through one of the filthiest sidewalks in America." Do not be fooled, this hotel is not very close to the stadium. Additionally, the owner of the hotel even told us that... more

I planned this as a weekend surprise for my husband to see the last game in Yankee Stadium. When we drove up we were so scared of the neighborhood that when we got into our room, my husband said we can't ever go out. Now it was broad daylight and we were starving to death and had to get out.... more

After finding this site I went into the Bronx scared by what other people had written about this hotel. After arriving off the 4 train, I made my way to the now Old Yankee Stadium. A simple cab ride and about a minute or two later I was at the Howard Johnson Yankee Stadium. That would be the first of... more

Don't ever stay here. The hotel is nice enough, but the service is terrible. I checked in for a 2 night stay, then had to leave just 15 or 20 minutes later due to a family emergency. The General Manager refused to refund the entire amount. On top of it the staff would not help me out getting to the... more

We chose this hotel because of the closeness to Yankee Stadium. When we first pulled up the hotel I was a little nervous because of the neighborhood and building looked a little run-down. However, the hotel is next to a police station which was comforting. Once we got inside I felt a lot better about our choice of accomadations. The... more

Bronx, NY Howard Johnson “Absolutely a Terrible Hotel” 22 July 2008 I stayed in the Howard Johnson 1300 Sedgwick Bronx, NY from 9 - 10 July 2008 and it was a very disappointing experience. The first statement you hear from the Howard Johnson central reservation is that the hotel has been recently renovated and that it is very close to... more

We recently stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. We booked the room after doing a search for hotels near Yankee Stadium. While the hotel is near the stadium, the area does not lend itself very well to walking there. On one side of the hotel is a gas station (full service, gas only [no store]), and on the other... more

We were on a trip, 12 of us, to attend the Yankee game, and liked the convenience of this hotel to the Stadium. While it's advertised as 1.5 miles, and you could probably walk it, the neighborhoods looked fine, we drove and parked by the Stadium. The stay at the Hotel was fine. The rooms were small, but everything was... more

The motel was advertised as new but appeared to be an older motel that may have been remodeled and perhaps new to the Howard Johnson chain. Had updated bathroom which was okay. Bedroom appeared older, worn, and barely met minimum cleanness standards. Motel lobby was not welcoming with clerk be hind a Plexiglas shield. Staff appeared more interested in talking... more
