Nice, Easy Walk to Station
You will get a nice, easy commute from Howard Johnson Express Inn Bronx. Because it is right near the train station, you can walk there and get there in a breeze. It is a nice stroll to get there, getting you to your destination in no time.

Needs Some Updating
From stickers on the wall to peeling wallpaper, there are more than a few areas in this hotel that could use some extra attention. It can bring down the overall look and feel of the entire hotel.
negative:
Check-In Isn't Quick
Because the hotel usually only has one person working the front desk at a time, don't expect check-in to be speedy. It can take longer than you expect to get into your room.
negative:
Carpets Are Filthy
The hotel needs to clean the carpets thoroughly or replace them completely. The very old carpets are dirty, which can be easily seen. You may not want to walk around in your bare feet because of their condition.
