Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland Beach - Miami rand

You hear everything going on next doors. EVERYTHING! From tv to walking to intimate details. If your early to bed, don't be surprised to not fall asleep till late night.

The staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel and room were clean. Two issues we had were the bed, although comfortable, made a terrible sound when moving around even slightly. My girlfriend could not sleep all night but I slept fine. The other issue was the water temperature in the shower would not stay constant for more than 20 seconds. The bed noise […] is bad but if you can tolerate, not bad for the price which is less than surrounding areas. Lisateave

I wanted a "cheaper" hotel for the three days before our recent cruise. Although I did not seem to take into account the amount of cheap this hotel provided. Although the view from our room was great, the glass was dirty, which was just plain disappointing. The hotel staff seemed semi nice, but were unwilling to check us in three minutes before 2, forcing […] us to wait in a line of eight or nine people, once they finally opened. The resturant in the lobby was old and dated, and old fifties theme, but the cars were rusty and the presentation was terrible. The pool was very cold and full of sand, and the hours of the bar by the pool were random to say the least, we tried to go to a happy hour and found the bar closed, on a friday night, during spring break. The hotel overall is "doable" for the price, but dont expect extravigence. The Hotel could be sooo much nicer if they just put some effort into it. Lisateave

We stayed one night prior to boarding a cruise and wouldn't reccommend this hotel for any longer. The highlight was the park next to it and a wonderful Venezuelan restaurant within walking distance. It helped us forget about the hair clogged shower that would back up with yellow water.

This hotel is popular on its location only I think. This bordered on filthy conditions.

Bad experience. Outdated and needs major improvement as to facility maintenance and services. The room stinks! Has to change because of unbearable smell. Ordered food in the bar and when the food came, we smelled the rice is spoiled and the amount of food is way expensive with the quality of food. The waitress urged us to reorder forsomething else with […] frustrated facial reaction. To our dissappointment we left. Although the guy that took care of us in the front desk is nice and accepted our complain to be forwarded to management. Overall the hotel needs major overhauling and come down to price as what they asking. I would not recommend this hotel at all. Lisateave

Great beach location. Free shuttle bus to South Beach and local tours. Hotel does need updated. Lots of cab services available, 15-20 min. to South Beach and 30 minutes to Port where lots of boat tours are available, shopping, and restaurants (Bayfront Harbor Marina---highly recommened must see.) Downfall--cash only accepted in restaurant when we were […] there???? Lisateave

Very cost effective and exactly what I needed, but not in the centre of the action ... long beautiful beach without the huge crowds. Great decor with veteran cars and '60's art. The room was 'basic' but spacious and comfortable. Very helpful staff

While on Miami Beach this hotel is at least 16 blocks from any restuarants or shops. Some of the staff were wonderful but several were almost surly. We arrived off a cruise ship at 10:30 Am adn were advised that early check in was not available-we would have to wait until 3PM. At 3 pm about 25 peaople in the lobby jumped up to register. I was first […] in line but was advised that my room would not be available for another 5 minutes. 15 minutes later I checked back and was told it would not be ready for another 10 minutes. Finally at 4 PM when I checked back again and it was still not ready another staff member found us another room. The door to this room looked to havebeen breached with a crowbar and they had left the battered door on and only added new locks - a litle disconcerting. The restuarant that you are more or less forced to use unless you came be car and want to take a taxi is styled like a 50's dinner with the seats looking likethe back end of a 1956 Chev. Belair. Food was okay but nothing to write home about and we were a little disconcerted to note that an 18% gratuity had been added to our party of two.. Nice pool and access to the beach but we will not returen. Lisateave

great location easy to get aroud to site see, beach is great . unfourtunately the condition of the room I stayed in was not what I expected.

The hotel needs some major TLC. pool floor is chipping and breakfast area is not what it should be, they really need to […] take some time and clean up the place, I will say housekeeping did a great job when it came to cleaning up the room, but the condition of the actual room (bathroom especially ) was not what I expected from them.

The picture of the hotel makes it look like it has been updated and when you get there it's another thing. Will not be staying in this one again

The pictures are blatant lies or at least exaggerations and the service was horrendous. They wouldn't do dry cleaning for us and every time we spoke with an employee they were just trying to get you away from them as quickly as possible (if they even spoke English). The beach nearby is terrible and the location was way out of the way of anything cool. […] The ONLY positive was that the HoJo has now become big joke sarcastically saying "Well this place is nice but it is no Howard Johnson". I absolutely urge you to stay away from this place. Lisateave

Service sucked, the hotel that is displayed in the pictures is not the hotel that actually exists. The only good thing about this hotel is the beach. Besides that it is absolutely worthless and should be demolished.

Was in Miami for the BCS National Championship game. The hotel reviews weren't good but I thought how bad could this hotel really be? The pictures looked good, it was on the beach and it was a good price considering.....I wont say it was horrible but it was old and outdated...front desk was very rude...hotel very hot although the room temp was fine. […] Its definately a fair price on the beach compared to other nearby hotels but don't make the mistake thinking that maybe the reviews are too tough...they are right on!!!!! will pay more next time im in the area.

Completely different from photos of the hotel. The hotel is very old and needs fundamental renovation... Besides, our room was not properly cleaned! I will never go back to this hotel!!!

Kontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

The hotel was in decent shape. Hotel has appeared as if it hadn't been renovated in quite some time. The check-in and check-out process was very easy, but this may be due to the impersonalization of the staff. The one staff member that we did find helpful was the staff in charge of calling us a cab. The restaurant is about as run down as the hotel, […] which was to be expected. The continental breakfast is nothing more than bread and water. The buffet food was okay but is overpriced for what you get. Keep in mind that gratuity is included in the bill for the buffet, although you do all of the work. The hotel is right on the beach, however. The surrounding area/neighborhood is okay. Probably not ideal for most tourists because it is far from the main shopping centers and restaurants. Lisateave

All I can say, the price was almost right. But then again may be too much. It is extremely noisy. No carpets in rooms or hall ways.

Its an ok hotel. The beach is really nice and right outside the back of the hotel. It has a nice pool. The rooms are clean enough to stay a night or two. I never saw the restaurant open there. It is a 30 minute walk to Surfside where the nearest restaurants are. It is pretty quiet in the rooms and all the rooms have different names.

The hotel room was very interesting. No carpet on the floor and the walls are paper thin. Also, the bathrooms need to be remodeled, where there were holes around the tub, sick etc., they were just patched with no real skill put into it. Last, realy need to have people working that knows something about Miami. I asked for directions to the James L. Knight […] center upon arrival and before I was leaving for the event.

I had never been to a hotel before that charged...for parking. In their own lot, too. And $11/nt for the parking?

I'm not sure where to start. I feel that the pictures on the website were a very inaccurate description of what we found. The hotel was very dirty starting with the lobby. There was a damp smell throughout the hotel. When we got to our door, my husband had to force the door three times in order for it to open. The room was very dirty and the "remodeling" […] people forgot a bucket of paint on our table. The bath room door was not closing or staying shut. The sink had paint all over it. We got to the hotel at mid-night and left at 8. I feel that that was a few hours too long. I feel it is pretty bad when you leave a hotel and you feel like you want to take a shower. Lisateave

Very Old, needs major updating.

The hotel has an amazing position, right on the beach. The staff is ok, not too friendly but not rude. The only thing that is disappointing is that the floor is made by hone, they don't have carpets or anything else and is really cold and unpleasant. Not ok for families with kids. Suitable if you are looking for something cheaper on the beach.
