I made a reservation for my brother who went from Peru to Miami first days of August 08. He stayed in the Hotward Johnson of Collins Ave. for 9 nights. One day He left his kangaroo (the thing you put in around your waist with pockets) in his room, then he went to the beach across to the hotel. For... More

Not the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in but certainly relaxed, comfortable and friendly. It was showing its age a little, being a slightly faded Miami Moderne in style, and the rooms could've been improved with a lick of paint, but they were cool and comfortable and ours had a view of the ocean and boardwalk, what more can...

I booked a room over the Internet, using the Howard Johnson Web Site and received my reservation number ect but when I arrived at the Hotel there was a sign on the door saying it was shut down!!!! I eventually made contact with a builder inside (with the help of a lovely Polish Taxi driver) who informed me that the... More

I spent 20 days in usa on vacations, went to 5 hotels, and this is the rudest staff of all of them... They force me to pay for the safe, that i couldnt use, first becuase i don t want it, and second, becuase it was broken. The man in the valet parking is an idiot. When i chek in,... More

But, the Howard Johnson hotel really took the biscuit. The reception area was dull, the breakfasts were really poor value in return for... More

We stayed at the HJ for 2 weeks over the christmas and new year break 2004, on arrival we found the service to be welcoming, and the lobby area had been decorated well, but basic. The room allocated left much to be desired....It was run down, with damp smelling carpets, dirty curtains and the loudest airconditioning system you have ever... More

Dirty rooms, terrible beds and very rude staff. One word, Nightmare !!! Feels like cheap motel. Stay away, there are much better hotels in the area for the price. I reserved 5 nights base on some reviews here (probably from the hotel staff although English is not even third language there) and ran away first thing in the morning. I... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights pre cruise in November of 2004. The lobby is lovely and the pool is delightful and clean. The beds were clean and comfortable. The hotel is located right by a beautiful section of beach. The hotel was quiet and the staff pleasant. The negatives were that the plaster was... More

This is the 3rd year in a row that we have went to Miami Beach for vacation. We stayed in this hotel the first week of June 2004. We have learned to get over the shock that for a such a service related destination, the caliber of accomodations in this city is always less than you would expect. This hotel... More
